NORTH HATLEY

Reflections on Dance/movement Therapy. Prof. Adrianna Mendrek, psychology professor: “We often think of dance as body movement only, forgetting about its perceptive, emotional, cognitive, psychosocial and spiritual dimensions. Dance has a power to promote ecstatic knowing and self-transformation. Dance and creative movement can take a person into a fantasy world, which allows for expression and experience of new states. It can also facilitate revisiting old memories or repressed material. All these elements contribute to the inherently therapeutic nature of dance and movement. I had a chance to experience its power and study its effects and I would like to share some of this knowledge with you.” Sunday, September 15 at 10:30 a.m., Uuestrie, 201 Main St., North Hatley (upstairs). Info: 819-842-4146, www.uuestrie.ca, Facebook UU Estrie. All are welcome.
