The Gathering , BISO - Body In Soul

Centre in the Midlines

Another deep and delicious round of community, movement, music and deep enquiry.

Ground and groundlessness.

Staying with ourselves, staying with the unknown.

How is it to be anchored in the unknown? Moving in the vastness of soul, rooted in the body, the wonderfully rich and deep Gathering is continuing into its fourth year.

Each six week cycle is open to new people, those dropping by again and the regular core of humans who have been along from the beginning.

We will explore many ways of being in connection with ourselves and others through a wide range of invitations, centering on the BISO movement portal of the Midline on the Vertical and Horizontal. With deep enquiry, ritual and art in motion, each week will open a doorway into a different aspect of our body, heart, mind, soul, spirit.

We will follow what emerges from week to week with prompts and poetry for inspiration and doorways. And plenty of dancing in good company…

For bookings or any enquiries you can contact Cathy at cathy@humans-being.co.uk

Turning Point, an Open Floor, online moving meditation cycle

A repetition of breath awareness, walking meditation and movement.All are welcome.

I like this definition of turning:To move in a circular direction wholly or partly round an axis, a centre point.What if the axis is Spirit? And we invite ourselves into alignment and connection with our own understanding of that word?What if the cyclical focus of breath moving in and out, foot stepping after foot and the organic free flow of movement through your body was your beat, your repetition, your meditation.What would turn? What would settle? What would presence itself?

The class is €14 – €16

A BISO – Body In Soul – Winter afternoon

Throughout this afternoon we will dance together, journey together, rest together in the darkest days of the year, catch a Still Point…

Diving into the wisdom of our bones through dance and shamanic journeying we will have an opportunity to listen to the stories our bones may have for us, their wisdom.

We will dance and travel down and along our own vertical and horizontal axii, from crown of head to soles of feet and from fingertip to fingertip along the reach of our arm span.

All are welcome, you just need a willingness to move, be curious and enjoy dancing and travelling in good company with carefully built soundscapes for your explorations

BISO – Body in Soul : This conscious movement practice is a map to align with an essence of being that is ever present and travels along the lines and ages of being human – passion, hope, love, creativity, shadow and growth. Our BISO tool bag includes six movement portals, the FABRR’s method – an opening to embodied attention, breath, rhythm, movement and space, the Medicine Wheel, BodySpirit and simple ritual. Embodiment, dance, creativity, music and community is one way of tapping into and reminding ourselves and each other of the gift of being alive – the opportunity of discovery.

Rising and Falling

Let’s gather

in the rustling whispers of autumn…

rising and falling

Through the conscious movement map of BISO – Body in Soul – movement portals, ritual journeys, the wisdom and spirit of the anatomical body, creativity and art we will move with connections, reflections, listening, witnessing, enquiring into what arrives through movement and presence – especially at this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere.

The next six week Gathering cycle begins Oct 17th online from 5-7pm GMT until November 28 – no session on Oct 31st.

The wonderfully rich and deep Gathering is continuing, well into its third year, textured with layers of connection, honesty and depth. Each six week cycle is open to new people, those dropping by again and the regular core of humans who have been along from the beginning. We dance, share, witness and travel along a particular theme each cycle – This time it will be the Movement Portal of Rising and Falling – each week we will set off on a moving exploration of this dance using music, ritual, creativity, enquiry and our community…

Let’s gather.

Every session will open a doorway into a different aspect of our body, heart, mind, soul, spirit – following what emerges from week to week with creative prompts and poetry for inspiration and doorways. And plenty of dancing in good company…

Looking forward to being with you…

In Between, Doorn, The Netherlands
2023-11-24 19:00 - 2023-11-26 16:00 (Europe/London)
A BISO (Body In Soul) conscious movement workshop.

This weekend will be a movement exploration, adventure and travel into the spaces between rising and falling, acceptance and denial, the vertical and the horizontal, black and white. This space, is a moment – ​​a center point, a threshold. The in-between space of neither one thing or another is, I believe, a doorway to presence, a portal to being in the now and sensing what is truly alive or awakening for us.

We will be exploring the body and soul itself, in motion, as an inherently already present and living medicine wheel. Full of information, creativity and options for being…We will be working with the BISO conscious movement practice – focus, attention, breath, rhythm, space, creativity and simple ritual.

‘I don’t know what the soul is. But I imagine that somehow our bodies surround what has always been.’ Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces.

The Dark, is Full of Light ,Philadelphia, USA
2023-11-03 19:00 - 2023-11-05 16:30 (Europe/London) | Bailiff Bridge Community Centre, Victoria Road, Brighouse, Calderdale, HD6 4DX, United Kingdom
When we close our eyes

And take a breath

In the dark,

Listening very closely…

There can be untold spaciousness, light, colour, inspiration and resource.

Over our time together, we’ll move, play, enquire and explore the illumination and spaciousness that may be available to us in darkness.

When we take away how many of us habitually see, look and assimilate information – what is there for us to ‘see’ in the dark?

What Spaciousness awaits? What possibilities?

What might give us a taste of freedom, understanding and hope?

We are navigating unknown and unsettling times, one of the best things we can do is call in movement, curiosity and community – I’m looking forward to dancing with you.

The Art of Moving Lightly, Dublin
2023-10-28 14:00 - 18:30 (Europe/London)
A BISO – Body In Soul – Afternoon

Taking the movement of our body and breath into the spaces between ourselves and others, into a dance with space itself as an engaged, curious and open partner – our part is to say yes…

There is a lightness inherent in the tips of our bodies, finger tips, toe tips, the tip of the crown, the touch of our soles on the ground. A lightness full of pleasure, spaciousness and expansion.

Through the BISO map we will invite this lightness of being through dancing with specific movement portals and a basic travel around our own incarnate medicine wheels.

All are welcome, you just need a willingness to move, be curious and enjoy dancing in good company with carefully built soundscapes for your explorations
