The Medicine Body Workshop is rooted in somatic movement and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offering a unique opportunity to experience embodied awareness through all the senses.
This workshop invites you to explore the wisdom of energy medicine and creativity through the theme of the liminal body space. We will dive into practices of direct feeling, listening, seeing, and moving.
The liminal body space symbolizes a state of transition and transformation—a threshold between different aspects of life, where one state shifts into another. It is an empty space full of potential, present in moments of stillness, in the transitions between movement and rest, and in the spaces where awareness shifts.
In TCM, these transitions reflect the natural flow of Qi, where the body and mind align and integrate for balance and harmony. This is the foundation of both healing and creation.
Human nature mirrors this dynamic process. Just as we move through cycles of change, we can deepen our awareness and presence by embracing the in-between moments—tuning into the body’s language and creative expression, and finding clarity and adaptability within them.
In the workshop, we will engage in felt sense experiences through movement, inquiry, drawing, and writing. Participants will explore creative expression individually and in group or partner work, supporting each other’s journey.
What You Will Experience:
- Sensory movement practices to enhance body perception through direct feeling, listening, seeing and moving.
- Partner and group interactions to explore relation and connection.
- Discovering personal movement language and creative expression.

- Those seeking creative tools to navigate body-mind symptoms holistically.
