Life/Art Process:
Where Movement Becomes Meaning
A body-based gateway to creative healing, nervous system relief, and self-connection for caregivers, professionals, and creatives.
Explore WorkshopYou’ve spent years tending to others. But when was the last time you listened to your own body?
The Life/Art Process® invites you to explore that question through movement, drawing, story, and ritual. Rooted in the lineage of Anna and Daria Halprin, this integrative practice is for those who feel a growing distance from their body and want to return home. This is not therapy. It’s not performance. It’s a somatic space where your lived experience becomes your most trusted guide.
What if your body isn’t broken… but brilliant—and just waiting to speak?

Return to the Body: Where Movement & Art Become Medicine
A Weekend Immersion in San Francisco | October 24–26, 2025
This weekend somatic immersion is your space to pause, release, and reconnect. Through expressive arts therapy, movement, ritual, and story, you’ll explore:
- Nervous system regulation without numbing
- Postures of holding, hiding, and reshaping
- What becomes possible when we move instead of override
No art or dance experience needed. Just a body, a breath, and a willingness to feel.
