In this facilitated group, we find ways of supporting the unique needs of each member, while also learning to more effectively relate to others. We learn to be seen for who we really are, and see others as they are. We find healing where we may have felt pain or disconnection from the self. We find insight, awareness and courage to break and move past old patterns that no longer serve us. The group sessions utilize Core Energetics, an approach that engages group members through body, dialogue and awareness. Group sessions include shared movement and expressive work, and opportunities for members to process individual issues and struggles they would like guided support in working through. This group provides a safe and therapeutic environment, where you can express your feelings, take risks, connect to others and further your emotional growth process.
This group will help with: PTSD, Abuse, Relationships, Anger, Body Image, Shame, Anxiety, Depression, Self Esteem, Injury, Addiction, Personal Growth, Life Transitions

Valerie Green/Dance Entropy is excited to be presented by the 8th ARTSinTANK Dance Festival in Korea (ADFK). Artistic Director Valerie Green will be performing WOMB on July 5th, 2025, at the M Theater.
WOMB realistically channels the fluid movements of a fetus in the amniotic sac, alongside previously recorded projections of the dancer on three planes of vision. The inspiration for the piece came from an image of being inside the womb during somatic practices. The movement is inspired by this idea and developed into more full-bodied action recorded in a three-camera shoot. The projection footage is juxtaposed alongside live performance of very minimal fetus like movement inside the red fabric womb on stage in front of the video projection. The video footage was created in collaboration with Rodney Zagury.

Inspired by shamanic journeying and altered states of consciousness, this electrifying healing ceremony is a meditative ritual celebrating the human experience. Six powerful male dancers surrender to instinct, moving through a trance-like ritual that blurs the line between isolation and connection. Through movement, Rite offers a unique opportunity to contemplate your humanity, ignite a release of what weighs you down, and emerge with a newfound clarity: a personal and collective spiritual catharsis. Witness the intensity of energy, surrender to the movement, and dynamically explore the profound connections between body and soul.

The Skimming the Surface: Movement Healing Retreat will support adults that may be overcoming diverse forms of stress and trauma through somatic-based expressive movement exercises. This 3-day retreat will help participants release blocked and repressed energy causing stress or discomfort in their life by integrating movement, feelings, and emotions.
Each movement journey is handcrafted to best support the participants. Green serves as a guide to help open doorways where each individual will do their personal work, leading them to a heart centered and intuitive place, finding a physical expression and release of emotions and energy whereby a healing process can begin.
Ms. Green’s approach helps participants confront emotional wounds and bring them to the surface in a gentle and compassionate way. When using the language of movement rather than words, different images or emotions may arise, which bypass the controlling and censoring mind. This experience leaves participants feeling expanded and curious about their emotions, with new insights to move forward from.
Offerings will integrate creative movement, improvisation, body reading, energy and breath work, body/mind embodiment and consciousness exercises, shamanic journeying, somatic experiencing, parts work, use of voice, free writing prompts, intuition and Core Energetics.
