AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT with MELANIE WILLSHER

SATURDAYS 10-1PM 30TH MAY, 27TH JUNE 2026

These workshops offer an introduction to the mover-witness framework, often known as Authentic Movement. Everyone is welcome. For those new to the practice, each person will be given a basic understanding of the particular way we practice, and of how we speak.

This is a practice of moving with eyes closed, while another person witnesses, without judgement or interpretation. From this simple structure, a rich field of experience can emerge. The work invites an inner listening to sensation, feeling and imagery. Often the experience is of "being moved" rather than choosing or directing movement. Noticing what is present, and allowing experience to unfold in its own time.

There is space to reflect through drawing, writing , and speaking together. Describing experience in a way that stays close to what is seen and felt.

The  approach is shaped by the teachings of Linda Hartley.

Self-care: Participants are asked to take responsibility for their own well-being, and to consider their capacity to engage with this depth of process. The workshops create space for personal exploration and embodied enquiry. 

COST £35 each
