NOVEMBER
Emberkind Movement & Community
“Lately I’ve been thinking about how November carries its own kind of gravity— the kind that draws you inward.”
— Sophie Barbarics
Some days we need stillness. Some days we need to move big. Sometimes we just need to be in a room together.
Here’s what we’re gathering around this month. →
Emberkind Movement & Community
Authentic Movement
Moving with an Embodied Mind
Authentic Movement begins with listening to the body.
With eyes closed, we turn our attention inward while remaining gently aware of the shared space. Lynn Dragone holds the role of witness, offering an attentive, non-judgmental presence.
Each session begins with Laban Movement explorations to loosen familiar habits and discover new ways of moving. We then make space for movement and stillness—listening rather than directing, with no mistakes to make.
A collaboration between Emberkind Movement & Community and Lynn Dragone.

Body Awareness Series
Slowing Down with the Seasons
The first step to body awareness is being still enough to tune in.
Emberkind Movement & Community and Aligned with Val invite you to reconnect with your body and listen to your needs before reaching exhaustion or burnout.
Through sharing our experiences and practices like body scans, we’ll reflect on where we’ve been rushing, listen to our body’s cues, and explore ways to support ourselves in this season of change.
November 21 · 2:30–4 pm
White Shirt Stories
A collective performance work with installation
“What we carry may be unseen. What we have lived may leave us marked. We do not have to be the same to hold one another as we step forward.”
Sophie Barbarics is developing White Shirt Stories with 25 others.
Through movement, worn white shirts, and shared stories, the piece explores the unseen loads people carry and what makes us feel safe enough to be seen.
An invitation to pause before judging—to ask, to listen, and to meet difference with curiosity rather than certainty.
