American Village is an opportunity to create and dissolve a community in real time. The process has one underlying assumption: America is still forming and each of us who lives here can contribute to that forming. As we explore through this group movement practice, we live into the questions:

What kind of America might we create together, 10 minutes at a time?

How do we feel about what we have created together?

What might we learn about our inner world, how we connect to others, and the larger implications of what we see in our temporary social field?

Through our actions and nonactions, we are always creating the future, so how might we practice becoming more aware of that in our daily lives?

Utilizing elements of Social Presencing Theater and Theory U, participants will engage in movement and embodiment practices that reawaken our ability to sense ourselves as integral elements of an interconnected eco-system, with power to create shifts in ourselves that ripple throughout our organizations, communities, and the larger world. Expect to spend time connecting to your body and becoming aware of authentic impulses for movement.
