Creative Talk: Arts and Health – Somatic Movement Arts and Well-Being

You are warmly invited to a screening of Arcanium (2023) – An Intergenerational and Community Screendance Project.

The origin of arcane is Latin arcanis. "secret, closed," 

Arcana (singular arcanum) are pieces of mysterious knowledge or information 

This will be followed by a Creative Talk introducing somatic movement arts and a discussion of these applied somatic movement approaches to support well-being and ‘being in movement’ throughout our lives. An informal Q&A session will follow to invite questions and creative dialogue.

Ruth is a trained and certified somatic movement educator and teacher from Eastwest Somatics Institute (USA) and registered with the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA).
