Leslie A. Field - Somatic Practitioner of Embodied Movement

Hi, I’m Leslie Field, a Somatic Practitioner helping people reconnect to their body through Embodied Movement. Embodied Movement is about coming back to the body and becoming alive to its signals, sensations, and emotions. This movement practice helps us map our sense of self both internally and externally. Feeling ourselves grows our sense of self. Being with the full array of sensory and emotional perception -- from awe, wonder, and pleasure, to pain, sadness, and grief -- allows us to savor the full human experience in body, mind, and spirit. Bringing us back to vitality, aliveness, and ultimately: wholeness.

We live in a culture that is depressed, isolated, anxious, and unwell. Most people are living from the neck upwards and are cutoff from their body sensation and emotional experience. There's a destructive shoving down of feelings that leads to illness and a loss of knowing who we are and what we want. So how do we come back to ourselves and find wholeness? One way is through a somatic practice that connects the mind back the body called: Embodied Movement. Non-Linear Movement™ is a type of somatic, Embodied Movement practice and is about coming back to the body and becoming alive to the signals and sensations of our bodies. This powerful somatic movement method guides people through a transformative journey of inner self-exploration that awakens greater sensitivity, supports the nervous system in releasing and unwinding, and cultivates receptivity and responsiveness in the body. Non-Linear Movement is a gentle yet powerful somatic movement practice that feels like a moving meditation. Participants close their eyes and let the sensations of their body and the music guide them into a moving meditation-like dance that happens entirely on the ground. This is movement for your wellbeing and soul.
