Contemplative Group Movement
With Liesje Smith
In this group movement experience, we’ll start with sensing into our bodies, space and ground. Then you’ll be given the chance to feel your movement as you’re invited to move with others. Can you find your impulse to move; can you play with opening and closing your eyes. What do you notice are your preferences and what does that reveal to you? Try somethings and stay with them. The body is rich with the language of sensation which tells us how we can play with our own regulation and become more fully present, alive and aware.

Embodied Presence for Better Sex
With Sarah Goodrich
What makes for especially satisfying and connecting sex, whether solo or with one or more partners? One of the most universally applicable skills that helps people have really good sexual experiences is embodied presence, which we can cultivate in ourselves with regular practice. I’ll lead the group in an exercise to tap into embodied presence and play with maintaining that presence as we expand our awareness outside our bodies and connect with others through our gaze. While this exercise is not sexual in nature, the skills practiced here can enhance your sexual experiences outside of the classroom.
Sarah Goodrich, M.S., M.Ed. is a certified holistic sexuality educator (through ISEE: the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment). She will be offering classes and workshops in the sexuality realm beginning in 2025. When her website is ready, you’ll be able to learn more at goodrichsex.com
Evening Performance
Into The Winter
Time: 5:30-6:30
Accompanied by musicians, Julia and Otis Davonport, Liesje, Somatic Movement practitioner, Rolfer, dancer and lifetime resident of Vermont, has been upholding a daily practice of dance while recovering from a recent major surgery. This performance has a ceremonial intent which is to send her heartfelt prayers, gratitude and farewell for this beloved and sacred studio, the surrounding land, her healing body, and her life connection with Vermont and the people here, so she is wholly ready for what is to come with protection and grace.
