Welcome into a new Artistic Voyage!
After a cool spring, where my last newsletter had no events to announce and my deep longing to dance for others lingered, this edition comes as a refreshing surge of energy. With summer on the horizon, promising warmer days, I find myself ready to step into a season filled with creative engagements and new beginnings. Join me as I leave behind a quiet interlude and dance into a season of lively artistic expression. |

Personal Sessions for All Ages |
I am starting to offer personalised sessions using Body-Mind Centering® practice, meditation and improvisation tailored to each individual’s needs, from babies to the elderly. These sessions are designed to explore the body’s poetic and expressive potential and of course bring more awareness into movement of daily life. |

New Website Collaboration |
