RE-SOURCE: Essential Elements of Movement Medicine®

6 Month Intensive Course

11 January - 12 July 2025/ Bi-monthly Saturdays

with Keef Wesolowski-Miles @ Dance Blast Abergavenny NP75UD

SOUL POWER - SELF LOVE - CREATIVE FREEDOM

Movement Medicine® is a body based movement meditation practice that will reconnect you to the wisdom of living from the heart, the joy of knowing who you are and the satisfaction of making your unique contribution to life. During this 6 month programme you will have the opportunity to address what is calling for attention in your life - in your body-heart-mind and your past-present future. It will deepen your connection to yourself, your creativity and the integrity and guidance of your own soul.

This  course offers a unique opportunity to study deeply with Senior Movement Medicine Teacher and Somatic Soul Guide Keef Wesolowski-Miles within the safe and intimate container of a small community of cohorts who share a common purpose - living a fulfilling and creative life empowered with integrity, passion, purpose, patience and the poetry of presence. You will be guided to develop and embody your own personal somatic movement practice based on the fundamental principles and core practices of Movement Medicine.

In addition to cultivating your own personal Movement Medicine practice as a soul resource for everyday living, you will be invited to do plenty of self- reflection, wholeness resourcing practices, explore 'deepening' invitations and wander in nature frequently. You will have fine company by your side as you remember, resource and enliven the magnificent and unique creative being you were born to be.

“The ReSource group container that I've been a part of for the last 6 months has been simply incredible! It’s been so great to connect with a beautiful community of like minded souls to dance my socks off once a week! I was incredibly astounded how I could explore my inner emotional landscapes through the dance and throughout the time have moved through several powerful Movement Medicine systems and approaches, each with its own unique flavour, realisations, insights and healing. I cannot recommend this container or any other group containers held by Keef enough - Experience deep healing & have tons of fun in the process - what’s not to love?!” Jess Falmer, Coach

Course Structure

12 bi-monthly (twice a month) Saturday ReSOURCE Sessions. 17.30-22.00

17.30-19.00 focused closed group: Core Movement Medicine Teachings

19.30-22.00 Space to Dance Community: Space to practice in an open space 

Dates: Module 1: January -11, 25 ; February- 8, 22; March- 8, 22; Module 2: April -12, 26; May-10, 24, June-14, 28

These sessions are a combination Movement Medicine practice and teachings regarding the conceptual frameworks, practices and processes of this ReSOURCE programme. This will include at least 90 mins of actual Movement Medicine practice. Both the teachings and practices will evolve and expand, built on a simple foundation of core essentials. The beauty of this programme is that following each intensive lesson there will be a chance to deepen your personal practice with what you have been discovering in the spacious safety of an evolving community of dancers in the 2.5 hour Space To Dance.

Monthly - Online Community Sharing Circles - Saturday 16.00-17.30 

Dates: Feb 2nd, March 1st, April 5th, May 3rd, June 7th, July 5th 

To Dance a little and to have an embodied heart sharing about your journey and Resource yourself with the medicine of Community. Optional 

Sharing, witnessing and feedback. A primary ReSOURCE and arguably the most potent medicine is community. In these monthly circles, we will have the opportunity to share our process, to be witnessed and to witness each other. The invitation is always - What is asking to be felt? What is asking to be expressed? What is asking to die and what is asking to be born?

The material you bring is whatever is emergent, whatever is hot. It may explicitly relate to the practices and processes we are exploring together or it may have a wider lens regarding what is alive for you in your life. These sessions will be book ended with 2 x 30 minute Movement Journeys.

1 Integration Ceremony - 4 hours

RETURN TO THE SOURCE - 21 Golden Soul Portals. 12.00-16.00

Date: July 12th Venue TBC

This will be a deep dive into the Movement Medicine Mandala. An opportunity to weave together all the ReSOURCE tools whilst exploring the territory of your life from different perspectives. Ultimately, the intention is empowerment, responsibility and the harvesting of the fruits of our journey together. This will be followed by an opportunity to CELEBRATE YOUR GRADUATION at Space To Dance in Abergavenny for the final session before the summer break.

Peer Support Group and Personal Study Invitations

- ReSource WhatsApp. Ongoing sharing support and inspiration where everyone will be encouraged to offer words, voice drops, share challenges, victories, track commitments that you want accountability for and much more. These groups are as alive and vital as the energy each of us contribute. It's a place for the community to ReSOURCE and for you to ReSOURCE the community. 

- Study Invitations. I will invite self reflection and self-practice opportunities; sometimes for the whole group and sometimes more personalised. 

1-1 Mentoring Session. In person or online - Optional at additional cost. Please ask.

This course is essentially an extrapolation of phase one of the mentoring programme I have been offering individuals for the last few years. There are many blessings to sharing this journey in community - affordability, good company, peer support and inspiration, the power of witnessing and being witnessed - and inevitably it is not possible to be quite so precise and personalised. 

To bridge the space between the Mentoring work and this group format, I am offering these 1-1 sessions at a reduced price to participants of this course so you can really dive deep into the intimate specifics of your personal journey. Please get in touch if you would like to further resource yourself in this way. 

One 90 min session - £90. 3 sessions - £255. 6 sessions - £495. 13 sessions £995

"This was the first online course in which I've experienced very profound moments through dance. I had the pleasure of being with others who had similar depths of experience. For me it was a genuine sense of community creating safety along with potent teachings from Keef that created an aliveness that I had previously only known through in-person immersions.
Initially I underestimated the efficiency and effectiveness of movement medicine, soon humility to my Ego was gifted through the simplicity and grace of healing through guided movement and music. Thank You Keef and All the 2023-2024 Re-Source Crew!" Edward Thompson, Musician and Movement Coach

21 Portals of the Movement Medicine® Mandala

“Movement Medicine is shamanic medicine for our times. It gives us direct, embodied experience of the dance of life that’s going on inside us and all around us. As a species, we face enormous challenges right now that we see as arising from the story of separation; separation between body and spirit, between individuals and nations, between the human world and the web of life we are part of and depend upon. Simply put, Movement Medicine reconnects us, deepening our capacity for empathy and compassionate being and action.
Since prehistory, dance, song and ritual-making have played an important role in the human community. Movement Medicine is a contemporary expression of this inheritance. It marries ancient and modern wisdom, and supports you to experience the transformative power of your own potential in a co-creative community.” Susannah and Ya'acov Darling Kahn, Co-Founders of The School of Movement Medicine

The symbol of the Movement Medicine® Mandala contains all the teachings that make up Movement Medicine. Each of its 21 gateways is an invitation to engage with a different aspect of life in the most creative way possible. Each Gateway opens up an important aspect of life's journey. As your practice deepens, the mandala becomes more and more useful, both as a reminder of where you are, and as a measure of your evolution. The ancient Greek symbol of the Phoenix sits at the centre of the mandala.

During ReSOURCE - Essential Elements we will touch on each of these gateways and we will dance the territory of the map in our final ceremony together. The Phoenix is explored in depth in the Awakening The Wild Movement Medicine Intensive - ‘Phoenix rEVOLTION’.

" Youwww! This was my very first experience such as this, and it was spectacular! Deeply profound, provocative and powerful. I accessed parts of my being that I have been unable to touch in the last 30 years of conventional talking therapy...the space felt extremely safe and sacred at all times, enabling me to open up and welcome in whatever feelings, both physical and emotional, arose in me. This feels like deeply important, life - changing work and I will return again. " James

Dancing With Death

Dancing with Death is an opportunity for recapitulation, a chance to revisit and clean up our personal history, which includes the stories of many generations of our linages back in time. It is the process of reclaiming energy that is locked up in those past events and interactions. It is opportunity to find peace, acceptance, forgiveness; to take responsibility and offer apology, gratitude and prayers for all beings everywhere. Ultimately it is an invitation to fully say YES to this one precious life and an invocation of Death specifically as an ally, a benevolent friend.
