Autumn Tree Butoh - Sondra Fraleigh

TELL ME
Do you think we just stand here
Advancing years passing,
The ping of winter's walk over us,
That we don't dance our way to the sun?

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 nature, in awkwardness, pain, and humor. Shin Somatics core lessons in somatic kinesiology and integrative bodywork prepare students in hands-on therapy. Depth Movement Dance/Art therapy excavates 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."
