UNBLOCKED
Get out of your head. Into your body. Back to yourself.
A two-day immersive experience in movement, self-discovery, and creative freedom.
What if the only thing standing between you and a fuller expression of yourself is a story you've learned to believe?
The stories we tell ourselves have a way of becoming the lives we live. I'm not good enough. I'm too much. I'm not who I used to be. What if I fail? What if I'm seen? Over time, these narratives can become so familiar that we stop questioning them. They shape how we see ourselves, how we move, how we connect, and what we allow ourselves to experience. But what if those stories aren't the whole truth?
UNBLOCKED is a two-day immersive experience designed to explore the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, identities, and physical expression. Drawing from Sarah Marie Picard's Acting For Dancers methodology, we'll use movement, implulse, emotional intelligence, and guided self-exploration to recognize habitual patterns, challenge limiting narratives, and discover new possibilities for connection and expression.
This isn't about forcing confidence or trying to become someone else. It's about learning to listen, reconnect, and trust what is already within us. Creating space to move beyond self-judgment, rediscover our instincts, and experience ourselves with greater freedom and presence.
the goal isn't to become more. It's to access more of who you already are.
WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE
-
We all carry narratives about who we are, what we're capable of, and where we belong. Through guided reflection and experiential exercises, we'll begin recognizing the stories that shape our choices, challenge the ones that no longer serve us, and explore what else might be true.
-
Before we can express ourselves fully, we have to become curious about what's happening within us. We'll explore our emotional patterns, automatic responses, and the ways we protect ourselves from discomfort, vulnerability, and being seen.
-
What happens when we stop anticipating, analyzing, and trying to get everything right? Through breathwork, improvisation, and movement-based exploration, we'll practice shifting our attention away from self-judgment and toward presence, instinct, and experience.
-
Who are you beyond what you do, what you've accomplished, or what others expect of you? We'll explore the relationship between identity, self-worth, and expression, creating space to reconnect with parts of ourselves we may have forgotten or outgrown.
-
What becomes possible when we give ourselves permission to explore without needing to prove anything? Through movement, storytelling, and connection, we'll investigate what it feels like to trust our instincts, take creative risks, and allow ourselves to be fully seen.
WHO IT’s FOR
UNBLOCKED is designed for adults who are curious about themselves and ready to explore beyond the familiar. Whether you're a lifelong mover, returning to dance after years away, navigating a shift in identity, or simply looking to reconnect with your creativity and self-expression, this experience offers space to discover something new.
You don't need to be a professional dancer, have previous movement experience, or arrive knowing exactly what you're looking for. Just a willingness to show up, get curious, and explore.
All backgrounds and movement experience levels are welcome. Ages 18+.
THE DETAILS
Over two days, we'll move between guided conversation, personal reflection, breathwork, improvisation, storytelling, and movement-based exercises. This is an active, collaborative experience designed to encourage curiosity, connection, and exploration rather than perfection or performance.
No need to arrive with all the answers. Just bring yourself and a willingness to explore.
