MOVE Aljezur - Movement Medicine with Shivani

MOVE — Movement Medicine in Aljezur

I’m back in Aljezur — and MOVE is back too. ❤️

For a short season this September and October, we’ll gather again for our Movement Medicine practice in the valley.

6 & 13 October

6.30--8.30pm
Doors open 15 minutes before.

♥️ MOVE is your Movement Medicine practice time.

A space to come back to your centre.

Back to your body.

Back to who you are.

A space to move beneath the stories of the mind and listen to the instincts, sensations and knowings of the body.

To meet what is alive inside you — what wants to be felt, known, expressed, moved and connected. To let it integrate, release, make sense.

Here, you are invited to dance deep inside your heart, allowing yourself to feel, embody and express what is there — in safety AND in freedom.

Each session is its own journey, guided through Movement Medicine, music, movement, embodiment and connection.

There are no steps to learn and no right way to move. You are welcome exactly as you are.

Come for one session, a few, or join us for the whole journey. ❤️

✦ MOVEMENT MEDICINE ✦

Movement Medicine is a conscious dance practice and movement meditation developed by Ya'Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, drawing on their many years of teaching 5Rhythms alongside shamanic, therapeutic and embodied practices.

It can be a healing and transformational practice, a space to meet yourself as you are, move with what is present, connect with others and community, and enjoy great music and gentle guidance.

Shivani brings presence, warmth, heart, wildness and softness, depth, authenticity, freedom — and a deep love of dance — to her work.

Trained in Dance/Movement Psychotherapy and Movement Medicine in the UK, she has been teaching Movement Medicine for the past 10 years in Portugal, the UK, Bali and online.

At the heart of her work is an invitation towards greater truth, freedom, aliveness and authenticity — meeting ourselves more fully through the body.
