In this episode of 'God on the Move', Renelle Snelleksz shares her remarkable story of becoming a dance movement therapist after leaving a high-profile news presenting career. Growing up in Calcutta and later moving to Mumbai, she recounts her spiritual journey, encounters with the Holy Spirit, and discovering dance movement therapy during a sabbatical in 2011. Renelle speaks about using dance therapy to bring healing and freedom to trafficked girls in India, emphasizing the deep, subconscious healing it offers. She highlights her work with International Justice Mission and her experiences in worship dance, describing the challenges and ultimate empowerment of affected girls through creative expression.   Links from the interview Renelle's website   Renelle Snelleksz Dance movement therapist Renelle Snelleksz's life testimony is rooted in experiencing the power of the Holy Spirit to break oppressive trauma and bring healing and restoration to the lives of those she ministers to. All of life's experiences, good or bad, are stored as memory in the body and impact the mental, physical, emotional and social well being of a person. Using the core principles of Dance movement therapy creates a safe space for people to address the core issues of life and relationships. But the intensity of deep pain in the human heart can only be restored by the power of Jesus to deliver us from bondage and propel us into freedom. Using movement and the expressive arts, this ministry has witnessed many lives transformed after child sexual abuse, abandonment and neglect, issues of identity, depression and mental health problems, suicidal thoughts, divorce and marital stress, domestic violence and addictions. Renelle responded to God's call on her life in 2011 to quit her media career in Broadcast Journalism to be trained in the psychotherapeutic methodology of Dance Movement Therapy. She works mostly with girls rescued from sex trafficking, partnering with agencies in India that fight sex-trafficking and sexual violence. Her ministry AL!VE – Rise to Dance Again, takes dance movement therapy to children recovering from cancer, youth from impoverished communities, corporate offices and private clients among others. She also uses movement and the creative arts to release the church into the freedom of expressive worship engaging “heart, soul, mind and strength”. Along with her husband, they lead a small house church in Pune, India. She is also a mother to a toddler and has always loved travelling, dancing and all things creative!

My kids are the most embodied people I know.  They are effortlessly, fully, deeply IN their bodies. Feeling and EXPRESSING their inner sensations moment to moment.  They remind me embodiment isn't something we DO to the body.  Somatic work isn't about imposing or doing MORE. It is instead the process of peeling back what isn't sincere, so we're left with our simple, yet profound soma.  This concept is a bit of a head fuck because so much modern therapy, development & personal growth is about doing or applying something TO the body. Modulating it. Hacking it for better performance.  So if somatic work is more akin to stripping back, what's the philosophy that supports it?  If you're hungry to dive into the schools' of thought that underpin Feminine Embodiment Coaching, this podcast explores our technical approach to the world of somatic coaching.    In this conversation, we discuss:  The impact of late-stage capitalism on our bodies Trauma therapy and the work of Peter Levine  Polyvagal therapy and the neurobiology of embodiment  Feminist & spiritual influences, including a powerful essay  Where the intellectual property of ‘Feminine Embodiment Coaching' comes from  The difference between coaching & therapy    Our influences as a school are wide & diverse. From the realm of Embodiment, Somatics, Dance & Movement Therapy, Coaching, Polyvagal Theory, Trauma Theory, Feminism, Somatic Abolitionism and more.    Resources from this podcast include:  Peter Levine - Somatic Experiencing  Audre Lorde Essay - Uses of The Erotic: The Erotic As Power  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification

Our bodies are the vessels we occupy from the start of our lives, but so many of us feel disconnected in this home we have within ourselves. If we live in our bodies, how can they feel so foreign to us? For a whole lot of reasons, we're taught to ignore body wisdom even though it holds the most potent information about ourselves and how we move through the world.   How do we get acquainted with our body wisdom and why is keying into this innate knowledge so important? In this episode, we're joined by licensed clinical professional counselor, dance/movement therapist and author, Erica Hornthal.   We talk about movement and body awareness and why it's critical to our ability to be, live, create and heal.   When the body is the source of your pain, no one wants to revisit that. But we can't escape our bodies. You're bringing the place where the pain happened with you all the time, you may as well dialogue with it. -Erica Hornthal   Four Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -Our bodies never stop speaking Human beings are always moving, even when we think we're stuck in a freeze response, there is still so much happening within. How do we learn to decode what our bodies are telling us through even the smallest of movements?    -How to find safety in your body One thing that cuts us off from our innate body wisdom is how we've been conditioned to sit still and not “act weird”. How does this impact the movements we do make and how do we learn to move on our own terms again?   -Meet in movement People don't have to understand your body's messaging to support you. How can we use mirroring to recognize, validate, and normalize what people are feeling?    -Movement speaks where words fail Before we can process a thought and speak it, our bodies have already felt and noted something. How do we use this to move through the world with more self-awareness?    Guest Bio Erica Hornthal is a licensed clinical professional counselor, board-certified dance/movement therapist, author, and the CEO and founder of Chicago Dance Therapy. Since graduating with her MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling from Columbia College Chicago, Erica has worked with thousands of patients aged 3-107.

Welcome to another episode of Soul Care for Therapists, where today we dive deep into intriguing approaches to mental health and well-being. Our special guest today we have the pleasure of sitting down with is Kandice Moss, a licensed professional counselor and board-certified dance movement therapist. Prepare to be inspired as we unravel the enchanting world of dance movement therapy, exploring its transformative impact on our lives. A Dance with Authenticity: Discovering the Power of Movement In this captivating segment, Kandice introduces us to the enchanting world of dance movement therapy, a unique therapeutic approach that utilizes movement and nonverbal communication to unlock hidden emotions and foster healing. With a friendly and passionate tone, Kandice shares her personal journey into this innovative practice, emphasizing how dance can be a powerful conduit for authentic self-expression. "Through the training, we learned so many techniques of what dance movement psychotherapy is, and I have just found to incorporate that not just in my life as a clinician and as a therapist, but in the many roles that I play...everything is a dance." The Art of Listening: Unveiling the Nonverbal Conversations Within Us Dive into the heart of dance movement therapy with Kandice, as she takes us on a journey through the nuances of nonverbal communication. In this section, Kandice shares how she delicately navigates the dance of therapy, carefully observing her clients' bodily expressions and gestures. Through poignant examples, she illuminates the profound insights that emerge when we listen to the language of the body. "I might invite them...to actually take the space...so how do we also sequence ourselves from this ball shape to the sunshine gesture that you described? So now we can put into practice all the steps that we need to do to move from this ball shape to the sunshine shape that you described." Healing Steps: Embracing Movement to Transform Trauma In this touching section, Kandice delves into the therapeutic power of movement in healing trauma. With empathy and wisdom, she walks us through how dance movement therapy offers a safe space for individuals to confront their traumas, fostering a deeper understanding of their emotional landscape. Kandice reveals how she collaborates with clients to create a healing dance that awakens their resilience. "It's a very delicate place again, where trauma lives, where anxiousness lives...how it manifests within our bodies and how we relate to others, how we relate to ourselves." Faith in Motion: The Spiritual Connection to Dance Kandice beautifully intertwines her faith with the practice of dance movement therapy. Drawing parallels between the dance of life and her spiritual beliefs, she invites us to see how dance can be a conduit for connecting with God and deepening our relationship with the divine. With warmth and grace, Kandice shares how her faith infuses every step she takes as a dance movement therapist. "Our faith is a dance, like our relationship with God is again, the give and take, the ability to enter into prayer where we're listening, okay, where we're now, we're, we're the followers, quote unquote. As we're dancing, we're listening, you know, and we're able to hear." About Kandice Moss Kandice Moss is the owner of Moss Therapy and Wellness; a creative arts psychotherapies and counseling practice. Kandice is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago, holding a Masters's degree in Dance Movement Psychotherapy and Professional Counseling. Her own experience of the healing power of dance and movement and her interest in helping individuals find their "why" led her to further her education in this field. "Connection and relationships" are her motto. Kandice is passionate about helping individuals foster self-awareness and gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by using movement as a modality to further integrate themselves into a whole BEING-- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Action Steps: Ready to dance your way to greater well-being? Here are a few action steps inspired by Kandice's insights: Explore Your Body's Language: Take a moment each day to observe your bodily sensations, movements, and gestures. What might they be telling you about your emotions and thoughts? Incorporate Movement Into Your Routine: Integrate intentional movement into your daily life. Whether it's a brief dance, a stretch, or a mindful walk, allow your body to express itself. Create a Healing Playlist: Curate a playlist of songs that resonate with your emotions. Listen to them and notice how your body responds. What shapes or movements might these songs inspire? Embrace Nonverbal Communication: Pay attention to the nonverbal cues of those around you. Practice active listening by observing body language and gestures during conversations. Cultivate Mindful Prayer or Meditation: Connect with your spirituality through movement-based practices. Incorporate gentle movements, breathwork, or dance into your prayer or meditation routine. As we conclude this enlightening conversation, we've ventured into the world of dance movement therapy with Kandice Moss. From understanding the profound language of the body to weaving spirituality into each step, Kandice's insights invite us to embrace life's dance as a transformative journey toward authenticity, healing, and connection.

#172 How Dance Movement Therapy Can Help Us Heal with Chauncey Harrison

How Humans Heal

In today's episode I'm excited to introduce you to Chauncey Harrison. Chauncey holds a license in Creative Arts Therapy, specifically specializing in Movement Therapy. Additionally, she has completed her Masters in Social Work and is working towards her License in Social Work. Chauncey's passion is helping people recover from severe and persistent mental illness, substance use disorders, mood disorders, trauma, and interpersonal issues through creative arts therapy. Her therapeutic style is to meet clients where they are and use a strength-based approach to empower clients. She is collaborative throughout the therapeutic process, working with clients to achieve their goals by using both verbal and non-verbal (dance, movement, art, and drama) tools to help them recover. Today we talk about dance movement therapy and how this type of therapy can help people process emotions and recover from stress and trauma. I especially enjoyed talking with Chauncey based on my experiencing both a researcher of stress and as a dancer. I have found dance to be an amazing medicine for me. Psychotherapy That Goes Beyond the Mind Psychotherapy can be more than just working on the mind. A lot of times what people experience in terms of mental health support ends up being focused on the mind, and being aware of our thoughts, versus what could be stored in our body. There is a connection between the body and the mind, they are not two separate things. We are whole beings in body, mind, and spirit, and when one of those is not aligned, or is out of balance, the others will be affected too. It's a beautiful practice to look into our thoughts and understand them. That's an important part of therapy, in general. In today's modern world it's unavoidable to be bombarded with so much information that it can end up being overwhelming. Our minds are always racing with new thoughts that we sort of forget that we are living in a body. So, it's important to take the time to return to the body. To unwind and practice mindfulness focusing on the body. When you're returning to the body it can be a practice of mindfulness in itself of bringing you back into the present and what's really going on and tuning in. Your body really does keep the score. It really is aware. It's where we store emotions and so tuning into that can be an incredibly impactful and empowering tool for people to start to understand and work on this connection to the body. It can really help bring back more clarity and connection to a full integration of self. Many times, we are not able to really listen to our body with compassion and to create healing from that place. There can be real disconnections between the mind and the body. People are surprised when they find out that our bodies can be part of therapy. This can also feel incredibly vulnerable because typically we've formed more unconscious ways to defend ourselves with our words. It feels more exposing for many people to be considering what our body has to say, so trust is such a huge part of the work here. How Does Dance Movement Therapy Work? Part of what we're doing in dance movement therapy is 100% play. There's a lot of therapy in play. There's also a lot of exploring what's possible and trying to expand the full range of movement. That's huge for people. A lot of times people are really quick in their movements, or quite indirect in their movement, and they stay in a very small kind of sphere. In that case, we can start playing with what it's like to feel bigger. To expand that sphere and expand in the space where we're moving. This also impacts our experience as humans and the ways that we relate to one another. If we're always relating in one movement repertoire, it can be limiting. Typically, it's helpful to have a full range of movement options. We might not even be aware that we're just moving in that one repertoire. Dance and movement have been around since ancient times. It has been used for entertainment, storytelling, religion, and healing. There's so much research on how healing it is to our nervous system to move in general. Many people can relate to the experience of being in a bad mood and going for a walk and starting to feel better, or going to the gym and feeling less angry about that issue was bothering you, or having a little dance party in your room and realizing it's not that big of a deal. This has to do with the release of endorphins and neurotransmitters that are activated by that movement. There is a lot of people where stillness is really present in the movement, where it feels really painful to move. And dance therapy is about meeting people where they are. You don't have to do a specific amount or way of movement. It's about being present and listening and observing how things develop without any kind of judgement. And then to maybe explore and just start playing with it and expand it when it feels appropriate. It's about following what someone is bringing into the space and really watching and seeing what's appropriate for them. You can get these insights into a person's patterns simply by looking a little bit more closely to what's going on with their response to the movement. And there is so much restoring movement too, whether it's memories or what it brings up for you in that moment. Certain movement patterns that have been more codified can be restored in people's bodies, energizing or relaxing them for example. Movement plays so many different roles in our lives. Is Dance Movement Therapy a Kind of Somatic Therapy? Somatic therapy, sometimes known as body psychotherapy, is a therapeutic approach that places importance on what we experience in the mind and the body, as well as the connection between the two. Again, with dance therapy, it's very important to meet the person where they are and where they are coming from. Certain diagnostic labels can be really helpful, and sometimes not so much. It's about exploring feelings and emotions through movement while not being attached to a specific label. And as we mentioned before, mind and body are one whole thing, and they influence each other. If someone is suffering from gastro-intestinal issues because of anxiety, it's real. A lot of our emotions reflect in our stomach. This shows us how mind and body are connected. It proves that we can feel emotions on a physical level. Sometimes people are led to believe that something's only “in their head” or they're making it up and it's not real. If you feel it or experience pain or discomfort of any sort, it's real. We have to acknowledge and validate that, because it's a crucial part of the healing process. We have to be able to connect with our feelings and emotions and how these relate to what we feel in our bodies. A lot of the time we suppress our emotions. We aren't taught how to have awareness for them and how to just be present to be able to process them or just be present with them. If you want to learn more about this you can watch Episode 165 of How Humans Heal - Emotional Healing: A Pathway to a Better Life here. Part of what dance movement therapy and creative arts offers is this nonverbal processing of feelings and emotions. You may not even know what you're feeling, and it could be very uncomfortable, but we can start with a sensation and maybe we can put that into an image. What would this image look like? Can we draw it on a piece of paper? Is there a sound that goes with it? And this can be so helpful to process our emotions and get more information about what they are related to. This can make people feel vulnerable, even just asking for help can feel vulnerable, let alone trying to listen to what your body wants to tell you. We don't know what we're going to find out, so it feels vulnerable in that way. The important thing to keep in mind is that this is a process that is unique to each individual and that everyone has a different pace and process. It's about going at your own pace and discovering little by little what your body is trying to communicate. It's not like you will come out of the first session in shock and lose track of your original existence. You're discovering information slowly and then you can integrate that information into your daily life. It's about providing a safe space and empowering people to tune in and listen to their bodies and connect with themselves. Dance Movement Therapy and Yoga The body has so much information for us, we just have to learn how to listen and access it. Some of Chauncey's original connection to dance therapy was through yoga and what it did for her. And yoga is a form of movement that is used for healing not just on a physical level but a mental and emotional level. It's also a way to experience the mind and body connection. There are so many different types of yoga and different ways to enter the practice. For some people it could be through the physical practice and for others through reading the books and doing self-study or meditation. It's always about what moves you and what speaks and resonates with you and where you are in life. Speaking about movement, some of the movements and postures in yoga can create a space for a lot of healing and release. There's so much research now backing up just how impactful yoga is for health, not only mental but also physical, including reducing inflammation for example. It's not just about flexibility and balance. With all this neurological research, we also have a lot more proof of the mirror neurons and the impact of them. In dance movement therapy, there's this technique called “mirroring” where you bring someone else's movement into your body, so that you're sharing the movement together and it's so impactful. There's definitely some overlap between yoga and dance movement therapy but there are also beautiful differences in those practices. There are a lot of dance movement therapists who are yoga teachers and there are a lot of yoga teachers that seem to have a dance background or a dance movement therapy background too. Using Dance Movement Therapy to Treat Chronic Illness and Pain We know dance movement therapy can help with anxiety and depression, but it can also help with physical pain and trauma. As we mentioned, the body and the mind are connected and there are many chronic illnesses that can be traced back to unresolved trauma and stored emotions. Using the movement therapy lens, there might be unresolved traumas and things held in the body. Someone can come in because they think they're depressed and then there's a lot more that we're unpacking and we're looking at during therapy. Likewise, if someone comes in with a chronic illness or chronic pain, they can process and explore and find out what the source of the illness is through dance movement therapy. So often in the mental health field what people hear is that there's a chemical imbalance and that they need medication, not to say that medications aren't sometimes appropriate and necessary and helpful, but it's important for people to know that there are other tools that they can use to heal. It's about opening up the possibilities for people so they don't feel stuck. Whether it's through movement therapy, talk therapy or a mix of both. There are also art therapists, drama therapists, music therapists, etc. There are many creative arts therapists out there, it's a matter of finding what works for you. And there's research behind all of these different techniques that show how they are all therapeutic and can help us heal. Recovery from stress and trauma can help with so many health issues, including anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain, digestive issues, autoimmunity, and recurrent infections, as well as HPV, and can help decrease risk of cancer, heart disease, dementia, and more.

The first time I read about Polyvagal Theory, so much made sense. The idea that “stress” isn't just all adrenaline-running-around-drama, but can also also/often show up as frozen-shut-down-numbness really hit home. I feel so many of us have constant moderate-grade stress in our lives that just leaves us feeling… numb. Understanding Polyvagal Theory (PVT) helped me to understand, neurologically, why this numbness comes about & why this magical-thing-called-embodient worked so well in unraveling it. It's also the foundation theory in our Coaching Cert, so at the heart of what I love. Today we're speaking with the founder of Polyvagal Informed Somatic & Dance/Movement Therapy, Dr. Amber Elizabeth Gray. I came across Amber's work in 2021 & was so interested in how she's deliberately & closely evolved her movement therapy to incorporate the teachings of PVT.   In this episode, we discuss & experience:  Polyvagal Recap: Jenna starts with an 8min recap of Polyvagal therapy to put our chat into context  How Polyvagal-Informed Somatic Dance/Movement Therapy was developed & has continued to evolve over the past 25 years  Neuroceptive practices → Amber guides us into two different neuroceptive practices to tune up our accuracy of inner feeling Breath, spine & weight - The key points of entry to the body that Amber uses  Why Amber works with ‘client comfort' instead of ‘safety' We chat about breath & sound and why they are so important in somatic practices   Content Advisement: Amber's experience includes working with survivors of extreme trauma. While we don't discuss the details of this, the theme is present during our conversation.   About Amber Amber Elizabeth Gray was, in her father's words, born “dancing and fighting”. A lifetime of dance and travel to explore movement and dance-based community and healing traditions has contributed to her passion for and belief in movement as life. Amber believes that every human being's birthright is embodiment. Her 25 years of work as a Dance/Movement Therapist, Continuum & Yoga teacher include time working and living in conflict and post-conflict zones, exposing her to the harsh realities of human rights abuses.

“In traditional, more formal therapy, most of us are taught in school, ‘It's a slippery slope to sexual abuse, don't touch your clients'…In psychedelic therapy, there's an understanding: touch can be beneficial…Deciding to not use an intervention based on your fear of litigation is not ethical.” Welcome to Integrating Psychedelics, featuring insights gleaned from psychedelic experiences and conversations around how to integrate this wisdom into our daily lives. I'm your host, Jenny Weinar, and in today's episode I'm speaking with Sabrina Santa Clara. Sabrina's early career began as a massage therapist, embodiment educator and yoga instructor focused on the interchange of soma, psyche and spirit.
