Encounter: Meeting the Moment

This five-day intensive with licensed psychotherapist and dance-movement therapist Andrea Juhan invites participants to meet uncertainty and the unknown through embodied practice. Rather than defaulting to familiar patterns of fight, flight, freeze, or appeasement, the workshop cultivates the capacity to stay present, grounded, and authentically responsive when faced with surprise or challenge. Using movement, somatic awareness, and carefully constructed peer interactions, participants practice making new relational choices within a supportive yet demanding container. The work addresses how we navigate difference, express ourselves skillfully, and remain open to change. Designed for practitioners, mental health professionals, and those seeking deeper embodied awareness, the workshop includes twenty continuing education credits available for psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, counselors, and registered nurses.
