THE JOURNEY OF EMPOWERMENT
A Movement Medicine Intensive Retreat
​
OVERVIEW
​
The Journey of Empowerment is a powerful initiation into the core practices of Movement Medicine. The intention of this journey is to align the body, heart and mind and awaken the vertical axis, your own ‘hotline to spirit.’ When the three strands of your physical-emotional-mental intelligence are awake, balanced, and aligned, the light of the soul can shine through.
​
We will work with a variety of tools to assist you on this path, including dance and movement, trance and repetition, embodiment practices, compassionate inquiry, sharing and poetry. Together, we will consciously create a strong and sacred circle, an oasis of mutual trust and respect in which each participant is supported to blossom in their own unique way.
​
Presented by Jo Hardy, The Journey of Empowerment welcomes you to take this deep dive into the power of Movement Medicine.
​
