Waikanae Baptist Church, Te Moana Road, Waikanae

Do you love to dance, write and express yourself freely or do you freeze at the very thought of it? In this workshop we will let movement free our bodies and words dance on the page. You will learn practical and magical ways to inspire your writing and hone your dance. We will practise embracing and silencing the inner critic. Move in meditation or with wild abandon and then put pen to paper and let the dance continue. Watch words spring forth from your elbows and hips. Learn to listen to the whisperings of the body and let them inspire your writing. Discover the joy and liberation of movement and dance your words onto the paper. No need to be polished or clever – nothing to make up and no skills or experience required. Come just as you are and join others doing the same. Let yourself be surprised. All sharing is optional! Limit of 25 places. Register by emailing Kirsten at kirsten@kahini.org Ingrid Kölle has been leading conscious dance workshops and teaching weekly classes in Wellington since 2006.
