This series honors the depths of darkness we each hold, inviting us courageously through embodiment, exploration, witnessing and release.

Coming home into the body often brings us face to face with the buried, hidden, the darkness and tension that has laid dormant in the body-mind over time. In the recognising, we mirror the energies of winter. As the days grow longer and darker, we bury ourselves in our homes, in our layers, sitting beneath the heavy blanket of the season - the outside world colder, brisker, harsher. This practice cultivates the boldness to sit with these sensations, to have faith in impermanence. We invite in the knowingness that each tension is matched with resolution; that it is the same air that gusts and howls, as it is the silent fuel for the fire, or the gentlest rustle on a still night. Change is the only constant, and this too shall pass, so join us to go deeper while the darkness is here.

The practise is open to small group of 8-10 to help allow everyone the time and space they deserve. Held by the container of a considered and supportive community, each session incorporates a flow through guided theatre and dance exercises improvisation and partner work, bookended by grounding and reflective practices.
