What is Authentic Movement ?
Authentic Movement is a wise and generous teacher... the unbroken wholeness of our being." - Zoe Avstreib
Authentic Movement is a simple yet profound process between a Mover and a Witness. The Mover closes their eyes and follows inner impulses. Listening deeply to inner stirrings the mover brings un/preconscious material through the body into consciousness. The Witness sits with eyes open and tracks their own experience in relation to the mover, noticing their projections, interpretations, and judgements. The Witness holds the consciousness, or container, particularly at the beginning.
This practice develops presence and can be used for therapy, personal growth, a spiritual practice, or as creative material for art projects.
Authentic Movement Australasia is led by Connor Kelly to provide courses (in person or online) and supervisors in the practice.
