Circle In – A Conversation in Music and Movement
Tuesdays at 12:30pm
4 week class ~ July 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th
Instructed by Elaine Bentley Baughn – LMFT, Author, Systems Consultant
For those who like to sing or dance – or both!. This group-led participatory practice will stir memories and emotions, release tensions and tears (both sad and glad), and evoke stories and laughter. Each group member is invited to bring songs you enjoy for all to learn and sing, or just listen. Share favorite songs and find some that are new to you!
Some full-body movement practice will be shared, but everyone is free to stand and dance, or sit and move in your chair – engage in musical expression with your body and voice as you feel moved.
Spots are limited. Please sign up at Reception if you are interested in attending.
