Village participates in Movement Workshop

Service Volunteer Jeanell Innerarity recently presented a Movement and Improvisational Workshop, open to the village and the greater community. Held in the Serena House basement, the group met once a week for five weeks for a fun and relaxing workshop. Participants worked through a range of yoga, tai chi, and Feldenkrais-based body awareness exercises, followed by improvisational movement and dance.


Jeanell will present a Dance and Movement Workshop featuring improvisational partner and solo dancing - date to be announced. Jeanell has visited Earthdance in Massachusetts and participated in the Seed Festival, which combines dance and improv with the study of permaculture and ecology.
