PeaceMoves - An Invitation to Dance
This is an invitation to enter the circle with the wisdom of the body and wholeness of the circle. This movement meditation creates the opportunity to explore conflict with an embodied approach, called Peacemoves™ developed by Valley Reed. Embodied movement takes us beyond polarities, which may catch us in survival modes of self preservation, narrow thinking and social bias. The body brings us back to sovereignty of choice, presence and our ability to be seen, to have a safe place to be, to breath and to be heard, by listening to our own body. A deep listening to the body, brings us to an openness to self, and a natural state of learning and receiving. In this space, you may find yourself dancing into empathy to see both sides, or exploring the deeper nature of conflict and discovering new potentials for growth and choice. "Studies on producing music and movement show how during cooperation, the brains of two people become attuned to the same frequency. This is apparent in how the low-frequency brain waves of the participants become synchronized. Brain synchronization enables seamless cooperation, and is necessary for creating both harmonic music and movement. The ability to become attuned to another person’s brain frequency is essential for the function of any empathetic community" (Poikonen).
