authentic movement

Drop-in Sessions — April 2026

Tuesdays 18:30 – 20:30

Weißgasse 33, 1170 Vienna

What if being witnessed — without judgment, without words — is exactly what you need right now?

Authentic Movement is a meditative, non-verbal practice in which movers follow inner impulse with eyes closed, while a witness holds presence for what emerges. Simple in structure. Rarely simple in what it opens.

No choreography. No technique. Nothing to perform or get right. Only the invitation to move from what is actually alive in you — and to be seen doing so.


Rooted in Jungian depth psychology and the lineage of Mary Starks Whitehouse and Janet Adler, Authentic Movement works at the threshold between conscious intention and unconscious impulse.

What moves through us when we stop directing? What becomes visible when someone simply witnesses us, without evaluation? The practice cultivates:

inner listening — learning to distinguish impulse from habit, sensation from thought
presence — developing the capacity to be with what arises, rather than manage it
being seen — experiencing what it means to be witnessed with full, non-judgmental attention

Each session ends with space for verbal reflection — to give language, gently, to what the body has already said.

Arrival & Check-in

We settle into the space and into ourselves.

AM Circle

The core of the session — movers and witnesses in practice.
Speaking and listening circle.

Reflection & Check-out

Verbal reflection and integration.

You might find yourself here if:

  • you are curious about what your body holds beneath everyday movement
  • you long for a space of genuine quiet — not stillness for its own sake, but presence
  • you are drawn to the experience of being witnessed without being evaluated
  • you want to deepen your relationship with your inner world through movement
  • you have heard of Authentic Movement and want to experience it directly

No prior experience is needed.

Drop-in sessions are open to anyone. Each session stands alone — you may come to one or all four.

Registration is required (minimum 3 participants to confirm).
