The Way We Move

Workshop Details

What if the way you move could tell you something about the way you move through life? Using the Jo, a wooden staff used in the Japanese martial art of Aikido, we’ll explore a simple sequence of movements designed to bring curiosity to how you move, respond, communicate, and connect. We’ll begin individually, noticing what happens as you learn something new. Where do you rush? Where do you get stuck? What comes easily? How do you respond when something doesn’t? From there, we’ll move into partners and eventually into a larger group, exploring what changes when others enter the experience. What happens when you connector miss a connection? Can you slow down, communicate what you need, and stay connected to yourself while also staying connected to others? Throughout the workshop, we’ll pause, notice, and reflect on how the patterns that emerge through movement may mirror the ways we navigate relationships, work, family, and everyday life. No movement or Aikido experience is necessary. Come on your own or bring a partner, friend, or family member. All are welcome. Move. Notice. Connect. Get curious about what you discover.
