Wellness at Westbeth: Mind/Body/Spirit Equilibrium on the Urban Front Lines

How do we survive the sensory onslaught of navigating daily life in New York City, acquire the necessary self-care resources to maintain mindfulness, and find space to reap the bounty of the city’s artistic and cultural resources? As part of Van Alen Institute’s fall festival, U Feel OK?: Health & NYC, join licensed creative arts and dance movement therapists Johanna Climenko and Corinna Hiller Brown in a secret-treasure studio space at the western edge of Manhattan for a sunset collaborative-movement workshop to foster mind, body, and spirit equilibrium. This event offers an introduction to dance movement therapy, Laban movement analysis, and Reichian mind-body character analytic therapy as we explore how to balance urban overstimulation and fully inhabit the city and ourselves.
