Weyward Sisters
Weyward Sisters - with Jo Turner
Weyward Sisters is a new offering. A class where movement meets music, where stretching and strength intertwine with storytelling, and where the seasons, the elements, and a bit of magic shape the way we move.
Over the past five years, in my work as a One Of many Women’s Coach, I’ve worked with female archetypes – a way of exploring different aspects of yourself beyond ‘the responsible one’, ‘the kind one’, or ‘the one who sorts out the drama.’ In Weyward Sisters, we’ll welcome back those hidden parts, discovering layers of strength, grace, and maybe a some wildness along the way.
What To Expect
Weyward is a word with it’s roots in old English. In the context of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, it refers to the three witches, also known as the “weird sisters” or “weyward sisters,” who are figures of fate or destiny. It can also mean to follow one’s inclinations.
If you’re inclination is to join me for this wonderful workshop series, email info@courtyardclinic.com, or call 01453 548119.
