Authentic Movement sessionS

1:1 and small groups

TUESDAY AUGUST 5TH

COST £30 per session

Authentic Movement: moving in silence, moving naturally and intuitively, freely, rediscovering the joy of physical expression, unlocking a deeper connection to yourself and others.

There are rituals which we follow, creating a space of safety and support .

Within a small group, or 1:1, nurturing deep connection to our inner sensations and feelings, moving with eyes closed, in the presence of a witness, giving us time and space to be seen , in a clear and compassionate way. Witnessing gives the equal privilege to see the essence of another.

In the comfortable, peaceful studio, moving, with time for breaks, refreshments, drawing, writing and speaking.

I studied with my teacher Linda Hartley, and continue to nourish the deep inner listening that this practice invites.

“I can only describe Authentic Movement practice with you and Katsura as nothing short of revelatory. The circle you both facilitate has allowed me to access a level of vulnerability I rarely experience elsewhere, helping me connect with and integrate memories, experiences, and emotions I had long repressed.

There have been moments of profound breakthrough, particularly that extraordinary session where I experienced a flood of simultaneous grief and joy, a rare state of ecstasy, that words can barely capture. Though people sometimes raise eyebrows when I enthusiastically describe the practice, it has become one of my most cherished forms of self-discovery. The improvements in my emotional awareness and self-regulation have been tangible and lasting.”

Together with Katsura Isobe, we will offer Authentic Movement

TUESDAY AUGUST 5TH

THURSDAY 13TH NOVEMBER 2025

2pm-5pm, Cost £30 per session

Our bodies are the containers of our emotions, memories, imaginations, and thoughts. In Authentic movement, we move and track each moment’s movement and sensation, while simultaneously allowing these unseen parts of us to surface. A mover moves with their eyes closed in the presence of a witness. What is emerging here?

In my Authentic Movement journey with Linda Hartley as a mentor, I learned, and am still learning how to embrace all that is visible and invisible in me and others, with clarity and compassion. This is a transformational practice that nurtures individuals and collectives.

My intention is to hold a safe supportive circle for you to be with what emerges. I hope you can join this journey with us.” (Katsura Isobe www.katsuraisobe.net)
