Movement

Moving Meditation sessions cultivate mindfulness, body awareness, and emotional clarity by inviting participants to engage in intuitive, nature-connected movement. Each session offers a space to explore one’s body in gentle dialogue with the surrounding environment, fostering a sense of rooted presence and responsiveness.

Designed to be flexible and inclusive, sessions encourage participants to reconnect with the body’s natural rhythms and explore instinctive gestures, whether indoors or outdoors. Moving Meditation supports a nurturing reconnection to the landscapes within and around us, bringing fresh vitality and insight through embodied awareness and eco-conscious movement.

What to expect from a session?

In each session, you will be gently guided to explore and become more aware of your own body’s intelligence and movement language. The process is non-linear and responsive to the moment, encouraging you to listen deeply to your body’s needs and sensations. The focus is on cultivating awareness of movement, not only within your body but in response to the environment around you. You will be guided in interacting with physical surroundings and objects (especially when working indoors) in order to develop new ways of moving that enhance your connection to both self and environment. We will use and revisit everyday gestures that your body already perform on a regular basis such as walking, sitting, standing or picking up objects. There is no expectation to dance although more energetic movement, playfulness and creativity are also welcome.

    • We will use moving / witnessing where we either take turn in moving and being witnessed by one another or I witness you for part or the entire session depending on your needs and intention.
    • I will move with you and guide your movement in a non-verbal way.
    • I will also guide you with verbal invitations and at times with sounding.
    • We always take a bit of time at least at the end and sometime during for you to share your experience in words and get some feedback and suggestions from me.
    • There is no right or wrong in how you move your body. The movement is totally free. It might be very active, it might be very still, it might be very small or very big. There is no expectation in how you should move. If you’ve never worked in this way before, I will guide you gently into free movement so it doesn’t feel too daunting. After a few sessions you will find it easier to find free movement by yourself.
    • My guidance is always tailored to your needs and what arise in the moment. We make a plan according to your intention and make space to change the plan depending on your state of mind and body at each session so we’re always aligned to your needs of the moment.

The number of sessions will vary from person to person but I generally ask for a commitment of 3 sessions to begin with to allow a process to unfold. 

Sessions last 60 minutes and a short questionnaire is asked beforehand. 

Who is it For?

This practice is suitable for anyone, regardless of physical ability or experience with movement or meditation. It is ideal for those who want to deepen their connection to their body and the natural world while fostering a calm, centred sense of presence.

Testimonials

‘1-1 sessions with Claire have been a profound experience. I felt myself experience subtle breakthroughs in my movement over time that translated so clearly into my everyday life – it was a gentle way to explore these themes with play and curiosity and I felt held, seen and supported by Claire’s guidance’.    Bhavini, cook and artist

‘I have been working with Claire for over a year. I can say that, in my experience, she has a lot to offer. She is reliable and consistently gentle in her sensorial approach to movement, both while practising with an individual and with a group of people. Working with one’s condition and patterns, she holds space to find one’s physical expression in relation to the natural environment, connecting inner and outer landscapes and incorporating human and non-human elements. She has acted as a witness to my somatic process as it unfolds through time and space with an attuned presence. Intermittently, she offers suggestions or makes an invitation to trust the movement by following and connecting with an aliveness or pausing in dynamic stillness, deepening my relationship with the body’s impulses and rhythms, giving each type of gesture and position equal value in time and place.’     Jenny, interdisciplinary artist and somatic movement researcher

 

‘Claire provided a unique space to allow me to explore gesture and movement for its own sake, not with an end goal in mind, just in response to whatever arose and this was so liberating for me. I had read from Iain McGilchrist’s work that most communication goes on without language, and part of me was sceptical about this. But in Claire’s sessions I was able to experience this directly: there are truths that can be communicated and felt by others through movement that words just cannot. I got a profound sense of being heard even though nothing was spoken.’    Ian C, craniosacral practitioner

‘Claire is intuitive in her approach and allows each session to unfold naturally. She interacts subtly and allows her body and voice to guide in a very natural and understated way. I feel encouraged to go deep in the exploration and express authenticity in my movement of the body. I found the sessions incredibly valuable. They helped me to let go of preoccupations and stress in a deep way, to bridge the gap between meditation and everyday life, to increase my creativity and improvisation in dancing and to feel a more heightened sense of presence’.     Ian B, filmmaker
