movement for evolving people
--Kris
I have been coming to the movement meditation class for about a month and a half and I have found it to be just awesome! I didn't know what I was looking for and the first time I came I was kind of scared, but as I kept coming I just felt more and more free in my body and when I went back into the world, I wasn't stressed as much and I felt I was able to trust people more. I even felt physically taller and overall, better being myself. It has been just awesome! --Susan
The movement processes that Angie
facilitates have lead me through amazing self discovery. The guided
movement meditations have allowed me to see myself differently and
make solid changes in my life because my perceptions are all shifted.
It has been a really great experience to do this work! Looking
forward to the next time. I am so grateful! --Denise
I believe that this movement meditation
expereience has changed my life for the better! I feel like I am
seeing things more positively and in a better light. I am more aware
of myself and my body. It's fantastic! Affirmative Prayer in Motion
was my favorite movement expereince! I don't think I have ever felt
so in touch with myself before. Just with a few simple words to
meditate on and move from we created this Affirmative Prayer dance. I
now do it ever night before I go to bed! I love it! I feel like this experience has helped me greatly and opened up my eyes to so many
great, new things! –Sarah
Because of the experiential nature of the work and each unique movers experience, Authentic Movement tends to be difficult to define and describe. However, very simply put, it can be defined as an exploration of the unconscious through movement that allows for the freedom of expressing the unconscious without the confines of verbal language. Authentic Movement was largely developed by Mary Starks Whitehouse, Jane Adler and Joan Chodorow. The work was originally inspired by the study of Carl Jung and his concept of active imagination, coupled with a background in modern dance movement improvisation.
Some people consider Authentic Movement to be a moving, dancing meditation and enjoy it as a profound spiritual practice. Through this movement meditation, people are often given information from the Divine about what steps to take to heal their life and their body. Others experience great creative inspiration when moving from a pure, authentic place of heart and soul and hence, many artists use the practice to release creative blocks and rekindle their creative fire. While others simply enjoy moving their body in a free, unstructured, non-judgmental manner as an alternative to traditional exercise. Most people will eventually find that this alternative form of exercise goes further than just the body by facilitating a deeper understanding of who they authentically are at the soul level--giving them immensely more than they ever expected.

Feels Like Peace Authentic Movement Experiences are embedded with spiritual practices such as gratitude, guided meditation, affirmative prayer and more. Angie's study of Universal Principles like the Law of Attraction, Law of Circulation, Law of Cause & Effect, Polarity, Law of Gender and others certainly inspire her when she is designing new Movement Experiences. She specifically enjoys the work of Abraham-Hicks, Earnest Holmes, Micheal Beckwith, Wayne Dyer and Neale Donald Walsh and is also directed by the musings of Rumi and Emerson for inspiration. Music is also sometimes a a guiding factor when creating new processes as well. Angie loves to use all kinds of music: from ambient sounds and instrumental music to live or recorded accompaniment of some the most uplifting, and profoundly affirming singer/ songwriters of the New Thought Movement.
When attending a Playshop you should expect joyous group movement that cultibates connection with other movers in community movement. In contrast you will also experience 'eyes-closed', internally focused guided movement meditations and other authentic movement processes that include both roles of Witnessing and Moving that are characteristic of traditional Authentic Movement. All of these processes take on new shapes and are inspired based on how each group she is working with is unfolding.
Feels Like Peace Movement Experiences are specifically designed to allow you to activate & further encourage your deeper awareness of your bodies Infinite Wisdom through movement. This wisdom of the body/mind can be vital information for participants to heal their physical body and their life. Therefore it can be very cathartic and be a catalyst for major transformation. Angie has personally healed many aspects of her own life through an intimate dialogue via the body/mind and has developed a passion for sharing this possibility with people, far and wide! On some occasions, Feels Like Peace Playshops are co-facilitated with Angie's close friend and mentor, Body/Mind Therapist, Anne Olivier.
Anyone who has a desire to move their body freely and who is willing to participate in some level of Self reflection will enjoy an Authentic Movement Playshop. Men and Women alike are encouraged to participate. Depending upon maturity and desire, teens are also encouraged to participate.
