In this presentation, I would like to introduce some of the themes explored in my new book “Embodied Spirit, Conscious Earth”, and give space for participants to reflect on and explore their relationship to these themes. The first section of the book explores the question ‘what is embodiment?’ through the lens of three practices that have formed the bedrock of my fifty years of study, practice and teaching: the somatic dance practice of Release Work taught by Mary Fulkerson, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen’s Body-Mind Centering®, and the Discipline of Authentic Movement developed by Janet Adler. Some quotes from their writings will offer springboards to enquire into the meeting places and divergences of these practices as we explore the phenomenon of consciously embodied movement. Our enquiry will focus here, with invitations to explore body-movement meditations inspired by the themes and writings, and time for sharing, discussion and questions.
