The Circulation Project is a 9-month immersion into Body-Mind Centering® somatics, meditation, arts practice and embodied inquiry designed to ignite and sustain creative development, facilitated by Kim Sargent-Wishart, PhD. Dive into somatic, contemplative, and creative explorations during six weekend intensives, exploring models of mind, body and the material world as generative and circulating, as the ongoing making of place and expression of space.

Modalities include movement research, hands-on bodywork exchange, sitting and movement meditation, solo and group improvisation, contemplative photography and reflective writing. Share research questions, discoveries, creative outcomes and frameworks for exploring creative development. These in-person sessions are extended via suggested readings and exercises, journaling, and an online support forum. Each participant is encouraged to choose a project to develop to fruition over the 9 months. Visit kimsargentwishart.com/the-circulation-project/ for details.
