How can we gain inner peace and develop a spiritual practice that can support us to embody a presence of peace? In this workshop we will use ceremony, dance, theatre games, movement, stillness, breath and presence skills as resources for self-care, creativity and finding a place of centre in working with conflict. Facilitator Denise Nadeau, D. Min. is a theologian, movement therapist, and popular educator, with training in Somatic Expression, the Halprin Method of Dance Therapy, Popular Theatre and Playback Theatre. She works in ecumenical and interfaith contexts and, in particular, in the area of Indigenous / Non-Indigenous relationships. She is of mixed French, Irish, English and Mi’kmaq heritage.
