The Doorway to Engagement: Freeing the Body and Awakening the Mind

Daniel Leven & Jody Wager

Prime your body and mind for the Symposium experience by taking part in this opportunity to let go of the ordinary stresses, pressures, and responsibilities we so often carry with us. This special evening event is designed for first-time attendees and Symposium veterans alike to gather and prepare for the adventure to come.

            Using physical movement, music, and play, somatic movement therapist Daniel Leven and dance therapist Jody Wager will lead an evening devoted to helping you open yourself to the new connections, insights, and inspirations that the Symposium offers. Here’s a chance to engage your mind and body in a fun and creative atmosphere, while bringing into focus your vision for what you wish to learn and experience in the days to come. All fitness levels are welcome and absolutely no dance experience is necessary.
