The experience felt like an opportunity to continue healing… and to pay attention to the inner sensations of my body when I move\, letting go of my inner (very critical) voice.” \n“Today’s workshop was so beautiful. Almost even better that we did it virtually (on Zoom) in our own spaces because I couldn’t be influenced by anyone else’s movements or expectations.”
