Movement Workshops at Amethyst Women’s Addiction Centre
The purpose of Movement Workshops at Amethyst Women’s Addiction Centre is to provide an outlet for self expression, encouraging the use of movement as a tool for empowerment, community and connection building, and contributing to a healthy lifestyle. The workshops take place at Amethyst Women’s Addiction Centre and are offered to clients attending the Centre. These one hour long sessions include visualization, improvisation, musically driven exercises and gentle stretching in a supportive space.
Movement Workshops at Amethyst Women’s Addiction Centre was initially supported by the City of Ottawa’s Youth in Culture Pilot Program.
