MOVE & BE MOVED

Dear Group Motion Community;
Join us TONIGHT for a collective creation — on ZOOM… March 10, 2023; 7 to 8:30pm.


Group Motion in Practice: the space of authentic expression through dance and music.

With Brigitta Herrmann
Music by Woz

Voices of participants::
“The group Motion workshop can make you feel like good things are possible. Like understanding is possible. Like resolution ---a healing, peaceful, cooperative resolution---is possible. Group Motion provides a sense of completion. People can express who they are. “

“I have observed, and experienced the healing power of the dance-----Group Motion has simply become the place where I feel that I am the most completely me.”
