About Naked Movement
Naked movement was inspired by life and created by Calu, out of integrating two of her passions: movement and nudity. Both explorations allowed her to be more present and celebrate her body in multiple creative ways. Weaving themselves into her relationship with life, movement and nudity have inspired her to create spaces to honour herself and others. Both journeys have grounded her deeply and allowed her to reach states of bliss, joy and ecstasy. By bringing together two transformative practices we invite ourselves to let go of our fears, release our conditionings and present ourselves more authentically. Loving ourselves naked is loving ourselves vulnerable, exposed, flawed, complicated, undone… it is loving our censored, edited, hidden self. We usually open the space by setting a personal intention and exploring boundaries. Layer by layer we have the opportunity to connect with curiosity and playfulness; we have a chance to see ourselves mirrored by other explorers. By staying committed to the journey we use our resistance to reach subtler and deeper stories stored in our body. We navigate peaks and depths throughout the session and receive from the experience as much as we are willing to risk. Meet your inner child in the playfulness of the beat, your wild self in the intensity of the rhythm and your essence in the simplicity of the empty spaces in between. |
