Embodied Groove helps increase community connection, playfulness, and emotional expression to fill and uplift your spirit!
Embodied Groove combined with live music is the soul medicine we crave. Live music is often used for release, connection, and recharge. Live music combined with movement allows you to shake off the stress of life and invigorate your spirit with the emotions of love, connection, and gratitude to last long after the show or festival is over.
the Intention behind Embodied Groove
The intentions behind Embodied Groove are:
Healing and Growth: Enhancing the medicine of live music by helping fans liberate their minds and bodies while connecting with emotions of love, surrender, awe, and gratitude.
Integrative Medicine: Teaching people to allow music to flow through them, loosening rigidity, liberating their bodies, healing somatically held trauma, and releasing unwanted somatic holding patterns.
Enhancing Connection: We have been isolated for too long! Embodied Groove enhances connection to others in an easy and fun way by offering the opportunity to move around the space and move and groove together.
In addition, live music created in the moment with movement facilitated by Dr. Leah Taylor connects musicians and audiences together through group flow that helps to enhance the vibe of the show!

Like all live events during this time we have had to get creative
In March 2020, I began leading Embodied Groove live from the Embodied Groove Lounge (aka my living room) using recorded music similar to what is created live in the moment.
You can find many of these on our YouTube channel.

While we can't do Embodied Groove in the usual way for now, I have made sure it includes all the aspects of live music you may be missing most:
Personal Expression
Movement
Releasing what needs to be released
Connecting with positive emotion and flow
