Weekly Closed Group — Authentic Movement Practice
15 Sep – 20 Oct 2026
Tuesdays
17:00 – 18:30
1170 Vienna
TRIAL SESSION – Sep 8, 2026
There is a particular quality of attention that becomes possible only when we meet again and again — with the same people, in the same held space, over time.
Into the Emptiness is a closed, ongoing Authentic Movement group for those who want to go deeper into the practice. Not to arrive somewhere specific — but to become more at home in the not-yet-known. In the pause before impulse. In the space that opens when we stop filling it.
Over seven sessions, we return to the body, to the inner witness, to the particular kind of trust that only develops through continuity.
“Janet refers to ‘stepping into the emptiness’ as an embodied act of entering this infinite field of potentiality, a mystery, a field encompassing that which is not yet known.”
— from Intimacy in Emptiness, Janet Adler, Bonnie Morrissey, Paula Sager
What makes a closed group different
In a drop-in session, you arrive as yourself. In a closed group, you arrive as yourself — and the group arrives with you, session after session, tracking its own becoming.
The closed container creates something that open sessions cannot: relational safety deep enough for real vulnerability. The group becomes a body of its own. What one person carries, all begin to sense. The practice moves into territory that only opens with time.
Over this series, you will deepen:
- your relationship with the inner witness — the quality of non-judgmental attention you bring to your own movement
- embodied speech — the capacity to give language to what the body has expressed, without losing what was felt
- relational trust — the particular safety that comes from being witnessed by the same people, again and again
- tolerance for the unknown — the practice of staying present in the emptiness rather than filling it
Each Session:
Check-in & Arrival
We gather. We ground. We make the transition from the outside world into the field of inner listening.
Circle
The heart of the practice. Movers and witnesses in Authentic Movement, held within a structure that varies each session — exploring the method in different forms and with different attention.
Reflection & Check-out
10 minutes
Brief integration. What was touched. What continues.
This group is for people with some existing relationship to Authentic Movement — through drop-in sessions, an immersion, a course, or prior study. You don’t need extensive experience, but you should have some familiarity with the practice and its basic structure.
You might find yourself here if:
- you have touched Authentic Movement and want to go further
- you are drawn to the particular depth that only a closed, ongoing group can hold
- you want to develop your capacity to witness — yourself and others — with real presence
- you are ready to be in a room with the same people long enough for something true to emerge
Into the Emptiness is not an introductory space. It is a place for those already walking the path, ready to step a little further into the dark.
