Cynthia Winton-Henry
Renton, WA
Sunday 1 afternoon Feb 28th 1:30 to 4:30pm
This workshop offers a soulful place to discover, discern, and welcome the wisdom of the body through practices that develop ease in movement, voice, stillness, and sharing stories. Beginning with one-hand dances, one-breath songs, hand-to-hand movement with partners and thirty-second stories about light hearted and meaningful topics, explore the power of witnessing, noticing and affirmation in soulwork.

• Dancing on behalf of others
•”Exforming” the information overload in our body
• Retrieving soul by including the body
• Nurturing a physicality of grace
• Meditating through movement
• Discerning through body wisdom
• Affirming and be affirmed
