Summer SOULstice — Retreat GBTQ Men at Easton Mountain

John Ollom

• Ollom Floor Series and Intro to Your Body
  Focusing on your body as your vessel, we will start lying on the floor. We will engage in slow stretches and abdominal work to get us moving. Warming up the spine and core, we'll then move into simple movements to begin to feel comfortable with movement. Breath work is encouraged to help release tension and stress.

• Contemporary Movement and Improvisation
  Building on earlier movement work, we'll learn to find more freedom in our movements, letting go of structure to explore new ways to touch, move, and flow in connection.

• Internal Landscapes
  A blend of free writing and movement designed to access emotions and ideas that flow within us. Using our bodies as canvases, we allow energy to move through us, connecting with subconscious urges.

• Man to Man
  After finding our authentic selves, we reach out and express that with a partner. Through touch and movement, we explore each other's bodies and the energies that flow between and around us.

• Naked Flow
  Moving and breathing freely without clothes, we connect with our natural flow, with others, and with the elements. Feeling the air on our naked bodies helps release shame and encourages honest touch and expression.

• Ecstatic Dance
  A culmination of the week's explorations of body and energy. We listen to our authentic selves and move naked or clothed in whatever way feels right. We discover our own ecstatic flow.

One-on-one sessions with John are available by contacting him directly at info@johnollom.com or through the front desk.
