Penny Collinson Somatic Movement

13/05/2026

Join Mary Abrams and myself for an immersive journey into Somatic Movement, at a special retreat on Saturday 6th to Tuesday 9th June at The Soul Space in Morecambe. During this 4-day workshop we will use a variety of somatic movement methods which support deep personal inquiry. Our practices will draw on principles from Continuum, Authentic Movement, movement improvisation and touch, including the significance of symbols and metaphor.
Practices will involve embodying our dream life through solo moving, sounding, mover-witnessing in partners and as a group, and explorations through writing, drawing, speaking, and creating aesthetic dreamscapes with tangible and intangible objects.
Our days will be spaciously structured to support rest and replenishment.

It's happening at The River Room, Halton Mill, near Lancaster, and runs each afternoon between Friday May 29th - Sunday May 31st. It's suitable for people relatively new to somatic movement practice and who have mindbody practice experience through yoga, mindfulness, martial arts, somatic therapy, dance/movement, voice work, the arts, etc.
This workshop is extra special as I’m teaming up with Mary Abrams who is the Founder of “Moving Body Resources” in New York City. Book now as this workshop will be very popular and places are strictly limited.

As nature pulses with the beauty and energy of spring, we can take inspiration from the simplest things like “Play”. Play is self-directed, joyful, and voluntary. During play, we are uniquely engaged and motivated, often exploring the edges of our knowledge and abilities and making incremental discoveries.
I’m inviting people curious and inspired by somatic-informed movement to celebrate, share and enjoy play and discovery on a very special 3 day ‘Moving from the Inside Out’ somatic movement retreat at The River Room, Halton. (29th – 31st May)
