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 WorkshopsYou’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
October 24–26, 2025 | San Francisco
A weekend somatic immersion to pause, release, and reconnect. Through expressive arts, 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.

THE PLANETARY DANCE
Align in Community — The Planetary Dance
This is one of the ways I give back: volunteering at the Planetary Dance, a collective ritual for healing and peace founded by Anna Halprin. It’s not a performance. It’s a prayer in motion, open to all. If you’d like to be part of future gatherings, you can sign up here.
This Work is for You If...
- You’re a therapist, PT, or caregiver craving reconnection
- You’re burned out, in transition, or under-inspired
- You want tools that restore nervous system regulation
- You long for healing that honors creativity and body wisdom
