Coffee @ Ten | The Art of Change through the Body

The Art of Change through the Body Hilary Lake, MDiv, Healing Arts Community Ministry and Spiritual Care Advisor for Hospice of Michigan As a somatic educator, artist, ritualist and hospice chaplain, I share my experience of and perspective on somatics as a field that explores the body from the inside out looking at the whole rather than focused on its parts. From studying with Christine Dakin, one of Martha Graham's principal dancers in The Rite of Spring at Harvard University to living in Nepal studying and practicing Tibetan Buddhism to now holding space for individuals and families at the threshold of death, I will share how I learned to experience and honor the body as the ground of being that supports us to go through change and transformation from a place of sensation and relational connection. I'll also share simple practices that can help us to practically be present with the challenges of our lives. This event is in-person and online via Zoom. No registration required.
