🧘 Auckland: ACC Embracing Your Body: Yoga/Dance Movement Therapy
8 weeks of weekly sessions or a two day retreat style over a weekend.
Trauma memories are stored in the body, and feelings associated with fear, shame, insecurity, and self-blame are no strangers to survivors of trauma. Using the frameworks of yoga and dance movement therapy (DMT), we can cultivate inner calm in challenging times, nurture presence and wellbeing through guided movement practices, provide a creative space to offer options of self care for individual needs and bring greater resilience to the nervous system through grounding and centering resources.
🌿 Christchurch: ACC Nature Based Creative Arts Therapy
8 Weeks of weekly sessions
The group will offer participants a safe, held space to explore their experiences through art-making, gentle somatic practices, time outdoors, and facilitated group discussion. This supports reconnection with self, others, and the natural world; reducing PTSD symptoms, building resilience, and fostering connection.
