Dance/movement therapy and Focusing both provide avenues for accessing and expressing our internal wisdom and knowing. Focusing is an internal process for attending to and accessing our bodily knowing and illuminating new knowing about a situation or issue. Because we take ourselves, and thus our bodies, with us wherever we go, our bodies experience our reality on every level, making it a wisdom-filled vehicle of our being. We will use movement as a way to become more present to our whole body being. We will use movement as a way to access a more enlivened sense of our selves. This can enhance the practice of Focusing And we will use movement as a way to explore the felt sense that arises from Focusing and to share that through the nonverbal language of movement. In these ways our knowing ourselves will be deepened by the experience of moving with Focusing.
