About this event
An embodied approach to deepening presence, attunement and co-regulation. Dance of the Therapist is for all helping professionals keen to find ways to use awareness of the body for self-nourishment and as part of their offer to clients, and to build trust and safety through embodied awareness.
Based on the Open Floor International movement curriculum, each session there will be an embodied enquiry into themes such as: ground, centre, activate and settle, release, pause. We will also take time to work on exercises that can be used with clients.

Julia Franks
Julia is a UKCP psychotherapist and supervisor, practising over the last 30 years. She has had a long term interest in the wisdom of the body and has been strongly influenced by Process Work (Arnold Mindell).
Conscious dance – dancing with awareness of breath and body – has been another long term interest, and Julia has been running embodied movement and groups for the last decade.
Julia recently published her book, Dance for Life, in which she tracks the role of dance in human evolution, how dance was lost and found again in the Western world, and she introduces readers to the world of conscious dance practices.
Alongside her therapy practice, Julia leads regular groups (both in person and online) in Open Floor movement practice and her own blend of conscious dance, Flomotion Dance.
