Health Circle Dialogue “Deepening Journey”
with Kirstie Simson
Kirstie Simson returns to Moray this October for the second part of her Dance North AIM (Arts in Moray)* residency!
As part of their AIM Programme, Dance North are offering interactive workshops and conversations every month, around the theme of exploring your body’s movement while “being well”.
You are welcome to attend any or all of these Health Circles. If you wish to go on a journey of deeper exploration, it may be helpful to attend the first session before joining the subsequent ones, but each session will be a valuable experience on its own.
You are invited to join Kirstie in a safe, freeing environment, to discuss what “being well” means, what that feels like and how we can work towards achieving this.
Kirstie will offer a Health Circle where you can acknowledge your own individual life paths, connect with yourself and others and explore with curiosity, the nature of health, self-care, resilience, community and restoration.
This session is open to anyone over +16. It’s an invitation to connect with others and engage in creative conversations around health, wellbeing and other emerging themes.
We will explore these essential topics through our collective imagination, creativity and celebration of life.
* The Arts in Moray (AIM) Collective is a dynamic union of creative partner organisations; Dance North, Moray Arts Development Engagement (M:ADE), the Moray Way Association, and Wildbird. All partners working hand in hand with local and international artists to offer creative opportunities to the vibrant communities of Moray and beyond. Now into its third and final phase of funding, AIM partners offer residencies to artists to offer exciting creative opportunities for them to express their unique art forms, practices, and innovative approaches to engage our local communities, spaces, and places. The goal, offer creative opportunities to Moray communities, engage different generations and inspire them to develop themselves artistically, as well as support personal growth.
Birthed from Rise Festival 2024, Dance North worked with international artists Lovisa Gunnarsdottir and Kirstie Simson to explore themes of womanhood, menopause and what it means “being well”. Dance North through AIM have developed that thread into a monthly creative program, focusing on offering women across Moray safe spaces to discuss, move, support and explore what that means to them.
