Written on the Body
Saturday 20 February 10am–5pm

Margot Henderson
Cost: £40
Venue: Love Yoga, 42 Union Terrace, Aberdeen

So, in this workshop we will gently open the book of the body and give our attention to what might be written there. Through a combination of mindfulness, meditation, movement, creative writing, drawing and bodywork, we will explore and express the language of the body. As we read between the body’s lines we will give attention to the 5 elements and the various body systems.

As we grow older we begin to know only too well that the body remembers and has its own stories to tell.

She is a qualified Integrative Arts Therapist with a background in Ritual Theatre and Ceremonial Tradition.
