🌅 Sunrise free movement and dance on the River Derwent — then take to the water. All bodies, all ages, all abilities, all nervous systems, all cultures. 📍 Matlock Bath Boats, Derwent Gardens.
We're gathering at the beautiful, ancient riverbanks of Matlock Bath, where the River Derwent has been flowing long before any of us arrived, and will keep flowing long after. There is something deeply grounding about moving your body in a place the land has held for thousands of years, the way people across every culture have always gathered by water to move, breathe, and belong.
There is no technique needed, no choreography, no single "correct" way to move. This is a moment to ground yourself in nature, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, breathe fully, and move however your body and your ancestry know how to move, whether that's dance passed down through your family, a rhythm you've never had a name for, stillness, or something brand new you discover on the day.
There is no performance here, only permission. Move as much or as little as feels right. Stim, sway, sit, spin, rest, or move in the way your culture taught you long before any of us were born. Every way of moving, and every way of not moving, is welcome.
✨ WHAT'S INCLUDED IN BASED ON YOUR TICKET:
🌅 9:00am — 10:00am | SUNRISE WELLNESS SESSION (1 hr)
