ABOUT AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT:
The discipline of Authentic Movement is a contemporary mystical practice centered in the development of embodied witness consciousness.
As a practice it is grounded in the relationship between mover and witness. For both, attention is concentrated in the development of the “inner witness”, wich is one way of understanding the development of consciousness.
Through the relationship between mover and witness, AM supports the exploration of “being seen” and “seeing”, allowing mover & witness to achieve a level of perception of Self and other that evokes deep respect, empathy and connection and develops an embodied conscious witnessing.
Originated by pioneer dance therapist Mary Starks Whitehouse and evolved through Janet Adler’s lifework, the discipline of Authentic Movement is a subtle, but powerful practice that offers a bridge between our conscious and unconscious.
The practice allows us to explore the relationship between the creative, psychological & sacred dimensions of our experience through bodily expression.
