Authentic Movement Ongoing Group SPRING 2026
Deepening in the embodiment practice of Authentic Movement
Join me for a transformative journey of ongoing Authentic Movement practice and study, where the mystical embodiment practice of Authentic Movement supports deepened layers of soul exploration, embodied evolution, and community connection. This ongoing group offers a unique opportunity to anchor during turbulent times, expanding and deepening your somatic understanding of self and others through inner listening, embodied movement, and the powerful container of an ongoing committed collective of movers. Together, we will delve into the layers of our soul’s expression and healing potential of our body’s wisdom. Ongoing practice in Authentic Movement allows unconscious material to surface and reveal itself through a held container and ongoing commitment.
This group will meet the first and third Wednesday of each month, February-June 2026.
We will collectively commit to 4+ months of practice together, with the opportunity to recommit after the summer for an ongoing experience. The committed container will support the depths of practice and allow for the wisdom and profound healing potential of the collective to emerge over time and presence. In this container, we will practice the form influenced by the Discipline of Authentic Movement. Through the declaring circle, open circle and collective exploration, we will engage in the embodied experience of mover, moving witness, silent witness and speaking witness (if trained). If you feel a desire to join this group but are unsure if you are ready to be in these various roles, please reach out to discuss.

“Attending Rachael’s Authentic Movement series has forever transformed my relationship with my body and myself. Despite my background in movement practices spanning over a decade, it’s only now that I truly grasp the essence of embodiment. Through Rachael’s guidance, I’ve cultivated a deeper trust in both my body and my inner wisdom. This series offers an opportunity for anyone seeking to attune to their body’s innate wisdom. Much of my day-to-day existence is immersed in the external world, but Rachael’s Authentic Movement series provided a safe and intentional space to go inwards. In a life often characterized by busyness and rapid pace, stepping into Rachael’s sanctuary feels like time itself slows down. Authentic Movement has given me the tools to slow down, tune in, and be present in my own life. It has supported me in approaching milestones and life moments with more depth. ”
A HOME for Authentic Movement: The Sacred Returning
Authentic Movement is an awakening practice of exploring the unconscious, tending the soul and psyche, with embodiment at the center. This body-referenced awareness practice involves a witness and mover(s). With eyes closed, the mover listens to and follows inner impulse, moving in the presence of a trained, accepting, and loving witness. Movement may arise from sensation, imagery, memory, thought, and/or direct experience. This practice supports individuals to align with and move their essential truth in community, strengthening their ability to track embodied experience, and practicing self-referencing speech to bring consciousness to the body’s wisdom.
Authentic Movment provides:
• A simple yet profound practice for deep listening, connection, and alchemization
• A trustworthy map for embodied integration and transformation
• An opportunity to slow down, sequence, and be with direct and inner experience
• A deepened relationship with our habitual patterns and authentic movements
• An invitation to explore our relationship to being seen, held, and supported
• A safer space to move and express freely without judgment or limitation
• A loving community with whom to intimately relate to creative life force energy
Since she was young, Rachael would find a quiet space, close her eyes, move her body, and connect with something beyond. She danced through many forms of movement, exploring years of formal dance training, as well as the art of moving without form. She discovered the practice of Authentic Movement in 2004, while studying Somatic Counseling Psychology at Naropa University, and has been in reverence and study of the work ever since.
Rachael works with humans of many walks, primarily those that identify as women, facilitating the process of reclaiming truth, trusting self, reconnecting with our inherent worth, and finding healthy relationships with the wisdom of our bodies and souls.
Rachael also deeply enjoys integrating sacred ritual, the natural world, live music, conscious travel, and Motherhood into her exploration of returning to Wholeness. Currently, she is fascinated, and on her knees, by the heart exploding experience of Mothering and all the ways this informs her work, her commitment to service, and her devotion to waking up.
““Authentic Movement guided by Rachael was a super rich container infused with beauty, sacredness, safety, and care. Because the container felt so safe, it allowed me to explore my most raw authentic expression and deeply receive the medicine of this unique practice. I felt so cared for, seen, and held by Rachael’s space holding.””
