Join Aditi Kaushiva for a workshop exploring breath, gentle movement and Bharatanatyam mudras. The hand gestures of Indian classical dance as a way of connecting with the natural world and building the presence and resilience we need in a time of climate change.

Through sensory grounding and mudra-based improvisation, participants will explore gestures that embody flowers, birds, rivers and seasonal change. The session closes with a joyful community dance. No movement or dance experience needed.
