Sherene has pioneered monthly Jungian Authentic Movement Workshops since 1999 in Chinatown using authentic meditative movement inspired by the current planetary influences coursing through the body and psyche. The timeless and powerful ritual of dance becomes one of the most transformative containers to release inhibiting thoughts and repressed emotions and to reunite the psyche, body and spirit.
