Creative Movement

This is the Movement in Worship foundation course, it is suitable for all including beginners.

The uniqueness in which you have been created is a gift that you can give back to God in your worship.

This workshop is designed to explore body movement to its fullest potential. It aims to enable you to break out of the movement stereotypes that so often depict Christian dance.

Exercises enable you to discover and develop your Unique Movement Vocabulary. This is then developed using Dynamic Mass Sculpture to see a corporate expression emerge. DMS facilitates groups of people to move creatively together, demonstrating the unity we have in Christ. This often develops into intercessory and prophetic movement.

Imagination & Movement

‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ – Acts 17:28

We are on this earth and yet we live in a spiritual reality which is greater. Using our imagination is key in exploring this. Our imagination also enables us to visualise and interpret what we read in the scriptures bringing them to life.

Worship & Mission Taster

We see journeying with God as a continuous flow with two main directions which are intrinsically linked: “Worship – breathing in” coming into Gods presence and “Mission – breathing out” taking Gods love and presence out the world.

This taster workshop explores developing a spontaneous, creative movement dynamic within worship that can be taken outside in mission.  It seeks to increase sensitivity to the Holy Spirit to and to others.

This is a great taster course for someone considering coming on one of our annual ‘Essence: School of Worship & Mission’ courses.
