About

Conscious Moving emerges from one transformative belief: we feel more human, more empowered, and more ourselves when we live from that place within us—and all around us—that simply moves. And when we examine and trust in our evolving movement, we can better harness the tools needed to expand our creativity, well-being, and learning.

Body-based psychotherapist, movement specialist, and renowned author-educator Christine Caldwell (Oppression and the Body) offers a radically ambitious mode of somatic awareness and inquiry—and shows how designing our own conscious movement practices can improve not only our own lives, but our relationships, communities, and culture.

This anthology explores how movement practices can help us find more presence; be more grounded and intentional in responding to and working with experiences in the moment; and claim our own bodily autonomy. Caldwell and contributors explore these key benefits and applications in four critical areas:

  • Creativity
  • Contemplation
  • Healing
  • Learning
Rooted in both ancient and modern scientific ways of knowing, Conscious Moving imparts fundamental principles and tools applicable to broad spectrum of fields and professions. Topics explored in partnership with conscious movement practice include: Trauma and Oppression, Isolations and Loneliness, Addiction, Group Therapy, Sexuality, Creative Arts, and Grief.

Encouraging each reader to pay attention to—and honor—their own embodied intuition, Conscious Moving is a nonprescriptive guide to accessing body-based wisdom form personal growth, community impact, and widespread social change.
