Emotion in Motion is an invitation to experience new levels of freedom, deepen your connection to self, explore your inner rhythms, discover what awakens your senses, and experiment with sights, sounds and sensations that treat your body and soul to a day of passionate pleasures.
Designed by Somatic Healer and founder of The Emotional Institute, Bernadette Pleasant, this session fuses sensual dance, primal motion, meditation and celebration of the human form and uses a variety of movement and musical styles including live African drumming to create a multi-sensory, somatic experience that expresses the entire body and permits emotional healing.
