What is Movement Mediation?
The process of mediation employs an outside observer and guide to help individuals get unstuck, gain new perspective, and better understand each other through verbal communication. Movement Mediation brings a kinesthetic element to that process, leveraging the wisdom of the body for problem solving. Using talk and movement, the process invites the body’s movement to inform, inspire and initiate insights that may be hidden or blocked. Through movement, we improve access to our deepest expressions of sadness, joy, and discovery. In short, Movement Mediationconnects the wisdom of the body, mind and heart to cultivate a more complete vocabulary from which to tackle difficult issues.
What happens in a Movement Mediation session?
We begin by setting expectations and guidelines for our time together. Then we open the floor for a guided interchange of movement and talk, all aimed at gaining an understanding of self, other and the issue at hand. We use movement of the body to gain access to root issues surrounding the conflict. We use space in the room to create distance or closeness during the process.
