“Fear is the cheapest room in the house.
I would like to see you living
In better conditions…” -Hafiz
Life is complex, as are our fears. Often we experience patterns of immobilization in fear. We become stagnant in stuffy-old familiar rooms inside ourselves. The good news is that moving with and through our fears is a process of becoming and evolving into more well-being and more spacious-being!
In the complexity of our fears, can we build body-based self-awareness toward understanding how our BODY-BEING needs to move for transformation through the fears?: A resounding, yes!
Join Transformationalists, Freya Kennedy and Karin Stevens, for a series of 3 online workshops.* Through Freya’s teaching on the beauty of the Enneagram, a psychology from sacred tradition, we will learn about the complex nature of human fear. Karin’s facilitation of The Art & Practice of Movement will offer us body-based practices for cultivating embodied awareness of our inner patterns/narratives of fear and how to transform fear through movement toward a healthier ground of being for which we can grow from beyond these workshops.
*You do not need any previous experience with the Enneagram. On some level every human experiences an expression of every pattern of fear. The 9 pattern-types will be shared in a three-part series workshop. Take one workshop or all three!
ONLINE Wednesdays, September 30th, October 7th and 14th, 7-8:30pm PST
Single Workshop Fee:
$30-$60 sliding scale

Freya Kennedy is a Transformationalist and Enneagram Advisor, who helps individuals, couples, and professional teams looking to deepen and expand their unique potential by understanding their internal motivations and learning how to move beyond them. For as long as she can remember she has been curious about why we act the way we do. She has always loved observing herself and others in a myriad of situations. Once described as a Wrecking Ball and Balm, she is a seeker, continually searching for meaning, beauty, and how to bring more love into the world.
Before deciding to start her own business, Freya has been caring for people, creating beauty, and encouraging personal growth in a variety of ways. She has nannied, facilitated yearly art markets, hosted monthly discussions on thoughtful living, worked several jobs with an emphasis on guest experience and hospitality, and most recently led the hospitality team in the dining room at the experiential Inn at Langley, for seven years.
Freya enjoys time with her husband, two teenage sons, and dog. She loves hearing people’s stories, dancing, smiling, eating amazing food, and paddle boarding on Lake Crescent.
Karin Stevens is a facilitator in The Art & Practice of Movement. For six year she has been assisting others on their own evolutionary and healing journeys through movement in individual and group sessions. With over 25 years in embodied movement and spiritual practices she brings robust wisdom and deep sensitivity to the needs of every unique session. As a Seattle based Choreographer, Dance Artist and Transformationalist she believes in the power of movement to bring us back into health and spiritual ecology within ourselves, with each other, and through our natural and built environments.
In spite of being a life-long vocational dancer, Karin had to learn to move in new ways to overcome her personal pain and challenges. She believes that if every individual began this same journey back into the body, each one of us will become a great force for collective healing and transformation, particularly in the area of dismantling white supremacy.
Through her dance company, Karin Stevens Dance (2009-present), she creates imaginative, visionary, collaborative, immersive performer and audience experiences at the interchange of movement, art, ecology and social issues. She believes we must commune, collaborate and converse through movement, sound and ideas for an equitable and sustainable future for all.
Her personal journey and vocational mission regarding the body, spirit and transformation owes much gratitude for the life-lessons in moving in relationship with her husband of 21 years and three powerhouse daughters (10,12,19 yrs).
