Shaping the Invisible: Pathways and practices towards embodied awakening. Humanbeing remembering body as organism, shaping and forming out of the inter-being nature of all life. Emma invites those she works with through movement & dance, meditation & prayer, practice & participation to return to our natural state of intelligence.
What is Shaping the Invisible?
STI is restorative movement based practices that awakens the intelligence within the body to restore inner-sense, cosmic flow, creative impulse and a felt aliveness within the individual. Once we have a strong inner-sense of our perception of being in one's body, we explore this connection by opening our senses and awareness to the external circumstances. We enter a state of opening and expanding, exploring the interplay between an inner and outer encounter.
The goal is not to train the body but to awaken this deeper state of presence. We develop our capacity to track our own aliveness in the constant unfolding circumstances of life. When we are more present within this state we can access more potential rather than relying on habitual patterns. We bring our attention to a quality of listening that aligns our intuitive intelligence to flow with what is naturally wanting to unfold. There is a great sense of balance, spaciousness and well being when we are connected to this integral flow of life.
Shaping the invisible is a body of teachings that has evolved over a 35 year period of personal exploration by Emma. The Invisible element to this work is connecting to our soul, the sacred, the mystery, our dreaming, our intuition, our inner realm and tuning in so we are able to listen more deeply. The Shaping element to the work is how we embody this inner domain and find it's authentic and creative expression into the web of life. It is only through our body that direct experience of life emerges. Connection is a felt experience and the path to re-connection is the awakening that we experience in our bodies, healing our separation from body & spirit, heart & mind, self & other, body & environment.

The NEW emerging space.........
I never planned to take a 15 month sabbatical from teaching, but that's what unfolded. I entered into a death and rebirth cycle. Life went underground, and the life I had been living changed in all it's forms. This has included my work.
Slowly, slowly I am beginning to return to teaching. I have just returned from teaching a 5 day workshop in Budapest. It had been 2 years since I had taught there, and it was evident how much we had all changed. We are living in times of great acceleration.
What does it mean to embody the change that is evolving in our present times? Our holding structures are crumbling and events can escalate over night. We are dancing on a very thin line. If we are not careful the insane amount of pulls from the outer world will overwhelm and floor us. Staying grounded, connected and sane needs our inner world attended to daily.
My first Online offering since my sabbatical is a course in cultivating a mindful movement practice. One you can modify and use as a tool for daily living. Moving From Stillness is a 5 week online series which will begin on the 9th May.
