The wisdom of the body

The Tamalpa Life/Art Process® is an integrated approach that explores the wisdom of the body as expressed through movement, dance, and imagination.

The connection between art and life holds immense potential for change, healing and transformation. 

At the core of the Tamalpa Life/Art Process® that I practice is an integrated method that delves into the body's wisdom through movement, and imagination. By engaging in creative practices and mediums, we delve deeper into our psychological and social selves.

Central to the Life/Art Process is the belief that the body encapsulates our entire life journey, with movement serving as its primary language. Movement is not just physical; it embodies our personality and soul, expressing emotions and imagination in motion. Through movement, and the creative practices of writing and sketching we tap into our innermost selves, fostering healing and societal change.

Key Principles of the Life/Art Process:

1. Our bodies are vessels of awareness, reflecting our emotions, thoughts, and experiences.

2. There exists an intricate relationship between the physical body, emotions, and mental realms.

3. Body sensations, postures, and gestures are influenced by our personal history, culture, and current state of being.

4. Expressive movement and arts unveil recurring themes and patterns in our lives.

5. Creative endeavours mirror our personal journeys, offering insights and avenues for growth and change

6. This process serves as a medium for both expression and celebration, allowing us to explore both challenges and joys.

7. By honing our creative skills, we gain valuable insights applicable to all facets of life.

I host regular group workshops to embody the Tamalpa Life/Art Process, catering to individuals and organisations alike. These sessions provide a transformative experience, delving into movement,  and imagination to deepen self-awareness and explore personal  and organisational growth.

Additionally, I offer personalised one-on-one sessions, integrating my extensive coaching experience and Zen practice with the Tamalpa Life/Art Process. This tailored approach supports individuals in their journey towards enhanced well-being and self-discovery.

Furthermore, I apply these practices in the business environment, incorporating them into well-being programs and corporate retreats. These sessions offer valuable tools for stress reduction, team building, and fostering a more balanced workplace culture.

I also provide specialised workshops tailored to the specific needs of your group or organisation. Whether you're seeking to enhance creativity, improve communication, or promote holistic well-being, these workshops can be customised to meet your objectives.
