Workshop Title: Sacred Circle: A mother and daughter workshop to explore, create and discuss the unique bonds of femininity.
Venue: The Red Barn in Durham, 352 Main Street, Durham, CT 06422, The Sanctuary
Description:
Through dance, art and conversation participants will be centered on the topics of womanhood. In a non-competitive environment mothers and daughters will be given creative activities that encourage them to explore how to connect authentically. Throughout the workshop, there will be times when one can work alone, in a duet or in a group. It is our goal to create an environment of playful exploration where everyone is able to share their unique expression and where participants are left feeling great respect for other’s perspectives.
This workshop will begin in a circle art project. Everyone will be asked to create an art representative of themselves. Following introductions will be activities focused on relaxation and body centering that will then transition into group guided expressive movement. Participants will be asked to integrate their movement experience in an art collage project. Then the whole group will discuss their art and movement experiences. This discussion will give participants a chance to express their discoveries as mothers and daughters and to appreciate their similarities and differences.
Next mothers and daughters will pair up and begin to move together at their level of comfort. Participants will then be asked to create a dance on a word, movement or theme that feels important for them and to cut a fabric shape that represents that. Then, all couples will share their creation in an informal performance for each other and then the entire group will perform together.
With all participants relaxing and cool down, mother and daughters will be asked to sew their fabric shapes together as a simple of their loving bonds. In conclusion this workshop, participants will be given an opportunity to explore dance, art conversation that will give them a chance to reconnect and integrate their experience.
Three Objectives for “Sacred Circle” workshop:
1. To give participants the opportunity to connect to their bodies and reflect in a community on their inner wisdom and core strengths.
2. Through guided activities in dance, art and conversation participants will be able to share various perspectives on being a woman, mother, and daughter.
3. This workshop offers the participants an experience that will deepen their understanding, trust, bonds of love and respect for each other. Participants will leave with a piece of art representative of this sacred experience and enjoy at home for many years to come.
