Mirror Mirror on the Wall… An Embodied Approach to Integrating Projections

This session is not about vanity or fairytales. It is about stories, it could be about jealousy, and it most definitely is about taking a closer look at ourselves. “Projections - the presentation of an image on a surface.” Sometimes, if not often, we project parts of ourselves onto the canvas of the outside world and other people, spinning stories and making judgments. We externalise what we do not want to or believe we cannot own. Denying responsibility or our part in disappointed expectations, unwanted outcomes, and uncomfortable truths. In this session we will re-examine some of the beliefs we hold about ourselves – positive or negative. Did you really never twist a story to avoid it clashing with the idea of who you are? When was the last time you admired someone for their incredible… fill the blank. Or maybe despised them for some trait or behaviour? Let’s put up a mirror to take a closer look and integrate these parts one by one – whether longed for or rejected. You will be guided through gentle exercises involving minor movement and postures.
