SUPER-NATURAL HEALING: Movement as Medicine with Honor Morningstar
Movement as Medicine is part of our Super-Natural Healing series, a gathering held every few weeks at the clinic for the Powerhouse community. Each evening brings together education, connection, and a guest experience centred on what it means to support the body's highest natural intelligence.
This gathering welcomes 5Rhythms facilitator Honor Morningstar to explore dance and movement as a way of relating to yourself and moving through what you carry.
Dance can be a profound way to relate to ourselves. Where we can't animate and express through our bodies can tell us where we are holding, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
And the movement itself, letting go and animating in ways that might have felt uncomfortable or inaccessible, is part of how we heal and reconnect. It is a naturally integrative activity. People can move through real processes while dancing.
Some of what we move through in life we simply cannot find words for. When we put the body in motion and allow the truth of that to move through, it can shift and heal in ways that talking alone does not always reach. Talk therapy has its own important place. Movement brings a different quality of access.
There is also a distinction between movement as a personal daily practice and movement in community. Both have value, and in different ways.
Learning to dance with yourself at home, as a regular way of integrating what is moving through your life, is one dimension.
Being in community, in your rawness and realness around others, moving through the highs and the lows alongside people, and being witnessed in that, is another.
This is a deeply human need, one that predates language, and one that many people rarely get to experience in a sober, intentional, and devotional way.
If this resonates, or even sparks curiosity about what might be possible within movement, we would love to have you join us this evening. Register below.
