“Take a Chance with Dance” By Kara Bithell

August 3-6, 2023

Explore ideas using dance, improvisation, body awareness, and healing arts modalities for an opportunity to learn more about a movement language that supports the journey to personal discovery and living well. Using Somatics (body movement and awareness), Self- Awareness (healing modalities such as Reiki/Sound/Touch), and Surprise (Improvisation and Chance) this program is designed for all levels and abilities. When using organic movement qualities and nature this opens up the possibility to transform our relationship to our bodies and our surroundings. This program will be inspired by the beautiful surroundings of the Far Horizons retreat areas as we dance and play within the trees, blue sky, fresh air and wonderful surroundings of Nature.

*Possibility of sight-specific/outdoor dancing if weather permits

As a dance teacher, body worker, and healer Kara uses movement to help others awaken to a path of healing through curiosity and perception. With 30 years of experience in teaching dance and creating dances (with an emphasis on Experiential Anatomy and Contact Improvisation) and combining the healing arts (Reiki/Sound/Ceremony) she encourages others to sense and feel the Spirit of movement through gentle exploration and inquiry.
