Reclaiming Our Joy Workshop

Join Anna and Eli for an afternoon of Embodied Movement and Radical Somatics as we rediscover our unique sensations and expressions of joy. Leave with a lasting connection to what brings you joy and knowledge of how to follow the wisdom of your body as you open yourself to accessing your life force energy.

Joy is an embodied experience of the life force energy we all have an innate connection to. Just like puppies wag their tails, cats stretch upon waking, and babies cry, laugh, and roll on the floor with equal abandon, we each have access to the same joy energy. When we find ourselves cut off from our joy, due to the stress and detachment of modern living, our bodies are our greatest teachers and guides back to happiness.

About your facilitators:
Anna Fiedler first found expressive dance as a stressed graduate student. She found herself shocked to be ‘dancing with an imaginary scarf’ in a room full of people and enjoying it, and has been turning to movement for joy, connection, healing, balance, and creativity since. She has taught movement classes since 2007, and is currently in 200hr Hatha yoga teacher training with Vinyasa techniques at Sundara studio. Anna brings a variety of somatic practices designed to support integration and awareness to her classes. She is passionate about supporting human wholeness through movement, specifically by supporting each participants’ full expression of
themselves through discovery.

Eli Arlen is a personal empowerment and embodiment guide certified in Somatic Healing and Unshaming Process Work Facilitation. Through her practice, Opening To Self, Eli offers virtual & in-person sessions and group classes in Southern Mid-Coast Maine. She uses sound, movement, role play, art therapy, guided imagery and other somatic techniques to help individuals tap into the wisdom stored within. By guiding others to uncover aspects that have been hidden by shame and trauma, this work allows people to thrive from a place of true embodiment and authenticity.
