Workshop Descriptions
Discover Moving Nature: Movement Activities Resources for CareGivers and Professionals
This experiential workshop will offer you an insight into the Moving Nature Resources for families and professionals. Developed for children and their caregivers, as a playful tool to foster healthy, secure attachment styles through body and movement connections. The unique resource provides opportunities for the family system to “re-choreograph” aspects of relationship attachments through the playful movement and dance encounters.
During this workshop you will be guided through a diverse range of directive and improvisation based movement activities that provide opportunities for attunement and understanding of each other. From goal-oriented to improvisation based activities, the mover’s sense of creativity will be enhanced as they are invited to explore movement pathways often neglected in modern environments.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Understand what Moving Nature is and how it can support professionals working with children and families.
2. Learn how the Moving Nature deck of cards can be used to connect the therapy space with a child or family's home space.
3. Learn how the activities draw on essential elements found in healthy child-care-giver relationships including; structure, nurture, presence and challenge.
