Eastwest Somatics cultivates consciousness through basic movement patterns, somatic yoga, non-interfering touch, and intrinsic dance. Butoh, the postmodern dance of Japan included in our work, re-members body as spirit, respecting beauty in awkwardness, pain, and humor. Eastwest core lessons in somatic kinesiology and integrative bodywork excavate body memories and possible-selves. Our work is objective, also recognizing the existence of interdependent energy fields of great potential and light. Compassionate connections are waiting to happen, alive in each moment of awareness, each person's mindful movement.

When a student in the Eastwest Japan Program asked Sondra to define the guiding principle of her work, she replied: "To encourage the natural being of each person to shine."

IN THE WORKSHOPS:

• Learn healing movement patterns that encourage awareness through the senses
  Experience intrinsic pleasure in movement
  Connect to others and the natural world through embodied presence and active imagination

In Eastwest workshops, we develop verbs of permission, life enhancing rather than diminishing words that sink into the watery soma of the body. We move ourselves in the idea of body. What we can do depends on what we invite to happen. We match the outside to the inside, and arrive on time. Strength lives in spontaneous moments of dancing when flesh finds its own expression, and the bones are so tuned to gravity that they stand by themselves. Then we are in the flowing space of nature where spirit moves freely. - Sondra Fraleigh
