Michael Bernal Venmo

In this series we will utilize the interplay between solo & partner (ensemble) practices & games.

Learning to self and co-regulate our nervous systems. Growing trust, listening & care for ourselves & each other.

We will experience how to thrive with the inevitable hardships of life. Learn the art of consent. Cultivate our attention & equanimity. Enhance our social & physical interactions for genuine heartfelt connections.

We will do this through the lens of contact improvisation via felt physics, relational intelligence & somatic self-observation.

This will allow you to break habit patterns that no longer serve you.

Allow a sense of belonging (interbeing). Cultivate confidence in your body's capacity to move & improvise. Create a practice that enriches your life & helps you develop your mind-body capacity for true empowerment & freedom.
