Movement Medicine
Movement Medicine 是一種有意識的舞蹈和動態冥想練習，它將身體運動、情緒覺察和正念與心理學、薩滿教傳統和當代神經科學的見解相結合。它通過課程、工作坊、靜修營和專業培訓項目在國際上推廣。
Movement Medicine 強調舞蹈是個人療愈、關係意識和集體責任的途徑，邀請參與者通過運動與內在體驗和更廣闊的世界互動。
起源
Movement Medicine 由 Susannah Darling-Khan 和 Ya』Acov Darling-Khan 於 21 世紀初創立，他們是「5節奏」的資深教師，也是 Gabrielle Roth 的嫡傳弟子。這種練習源於他們數十年來在意識舞蹈、心理治療、薩滿教實踐和具身引導方面的研究和發展。
創始人將 Movement Medicine 描述為回應當代生活的需求，將個人轉變與社會和生態意識相結合。
核心原則
Movement Medicine 基於以下幾個關鍵原則：
- 「具身性」——通過直接的身體體驗培養覺知。
- 「責任感」——認識到我們在行動、人際關係和行為方式上的選擇權和責任感。
- 「關係」——探索與自我、他人、社群和自然世界的聯結。
- 「整合」——將運動練習的感悟融入日常生活。
這種做法認為舞蹈不僅對個人有益，而且對人際關係、社區和文化也有療愈作用。
練習
Movement Medicine 課程通常包含由音樂、語言引導、意象和意圖輔助的引導式動作之旅。雖然沒有固定的舞蹈編排，但教師會提供清晰的框架，引導學員探索感覺、情緒、衝動和意義。
Classes often include:
- grounding and centring practices,
- movement explorations related to emotional states and life themes,
- opportunities for solo and relational movement,
- integration and reflection through embodied awareness.
The practice draws on both expressive and contemplative movement, balancing intensity with integration.
Maps and frameworks
Movement Medicine uses a set of teaching maps and conceptual frameworks to support clarity and depth in practice. These may include:
- The Wave (inherited and adapted from 5Rhythms),
- The Medicine Wheel and elemental perspectives,
- maps of consciousness, choice, and responsibility,
- archetypal and mythic lenses for understanding experience.
These maps function as orienting tools rather than prescriptions, supporting improvisation and personal meaning-making.
Teacher training
Movement Medicine offers an internationally recognised professional training programme for conscious dance teachers and facilitators. The training is modular and typically spans several years, combining:
- intensive residential modules,
- supervised teaching practice,
- personal process work,
- mentoring and assessment.
Graduates are authorised to teach Movement Medicine classes and workshops and are part of an ongoing professional community.
Community and reach
Movement Medicine is practiced across Europe and internationally, with teachers offering regular classes, workshops, and retreats in many countries. The school maintains an active global network of teachers, students, and practitioners, supported by online resources and events.
