Awakening movement and imagination.
Movement sessions at Helen Ley Respite Care Centre, Warwickshire.
Jeannie McDonald-Kim has been running movement sessions for people living with Multiple Sclerosis at Helen Ley Respite Care Centre. Guests at the centre arrive on Saturday and Jeannie runs a session on Sunday.

Movement has been really powerful in allowing new guests to find out about each other in a way that values what they bring to the present moment rather than focusing on their losses. It enables people to open up and find out about each other through their own creativity and the vitality of their imaginations.

Jeannie writes: ” the sessions have gone really well with lots of laughter, some poignant moments, some sad moments, all carried in a very warm positive atmosphere….

The stories have been great and all been told through movement and dancing. In one session we went to Jamaica, flew in plane with Princess Anne, and had a virtual snow-boarding experience.”

A film will be made of the final session and shown as part of Dance Screens in Birmingham October 2009
