Workshops with Nina Wise give you the physical and spiritual tools to translate your inner life into theater. Everyone has a story to tell. But few of us have the opportunity to express ourselves freely in a safe and supportive environment. What makes Nina’s workshops unique is her emphasis on the integration of body, mind and spirit.
Stories reside in the body, so we begin by moving from our center, giving voice and gesture to our private characters and realities. Unbounded self-expression is remarkably satisfying–for the heart, the mind, the soul, and the body.
The sessions include relaxation, meditation, movement, singing, storytelling, and theater games. Expect to surprise yourself, to become more playful and at ease before an audience, and to leave with an enhanced sense of well-being in both your personal and creative lives.

Please Note!
CEU's are available for MFT's and LCSW's - PCE 3222

Spontaneous Zen, Motion Theater
Meditation and Autobiographical Improvisation

with Nina Wise and Myogen Steve Stücky

July 20-25, 2008
Tassajara Zen Center
Carmel Valley, CA

Suzuki Roshi once said that we practice sitting to be "ready for anything." In Nina's improvisation classes we'll learn and practice expressing through movement and language the narratives that compose our daily lives. In meditation with Steve we'll see what happens, receiving our experience rather than implementing directives. Using yoga, sounding, movement, and expressive exercises (from Nina's years of experience), we'll cultivate our capacity to tell our story and bring to life what is often unnoticed or unacknowledged. The retreat is open to all, both as a tool for greater awareness and an avenue for self-expression. This is an opportunity to engage in full-bodied self-expression and also deepen into stillness and silence.

Refund Policy

Deposits for workshops and classes are refundable in full (less 15% processing fee) if you cancel at least one week before the start date. After that, the deposit is not refundable but you may apply it to any Motion Theater workshop within one year (less 15% processing fee). Once the class series begins, refunds are not available unless you suffer an extreme medical emergency or family emergency. In that case, the cost of the classes you have already taken will be deducted from the total you have paid, and the balance less 15% processing fee will be applied towards credit for another Motion class. This credit expires after one year if not utilized.
