MIRIAM MARLER
As I'm drawn more and more into the world of Mindful Somatic Therapy, the tools I bring from my history in movement & bodywork are being seen with new eyes as resources to support healing & regulation.
With a background in Contemporary Dance where choreography and performance were highlighted, I soon became deeply engaged in more process-based approaches like Somatic Movement practices, Contact Improvisation, Butoh and Body Weather.
Today, facilitation is my creative practice- I offer Conscious Dance, Somatics, & Contact Improvisation to the gorgeous community down in Otepoti Dunedin.
From Intimacy to Play
'Neuroception' is what our nervous systems do moment-by-moment to sense into spaces, environments & other human beings to evaluate & respond to safety or threat. Our nervous systems support us by affecting our biological and social responses.
In this session, I invite us to explore our neuroceptive capacities together - how our sense of safety, social connection, self-connection, and activation are affected by movement, posture, proximity and interaction - with the aim to cultivate an embodied experience of both Intimacy & Play.
There will be time for verbal sharing, brainstorming, as well as loads of time to drop into sensuous feeling, moving, connection & play.
