tender terrain

A Journey of Embodied Resilience

Exploring the landscapes of CREATIVE adaptation, RESILIENCE, and TENDERNESS

What happens when we can't move like we used to?
When our bodies call for slowing, softening, and reimagining the way we dance?

This 4 month program is designed specifically for those navigating physical limitations, temporary or chronic, visible or invisible. Whether you're healing from a recent injury, navigating chronic pain, aging, or tending to long-held wounds, TENDER TERRAIN offers a compassionate and supportive space to move, feel, and reconnect.

Rather than pushing through pain or retreating from the dance entirely, we learn to listen more deeply to the messages of the body.
Our injuries become wise guides, asking us to move slower, with more intention, with more curiosity.

In these sessions, you are encouraged to let go of how it should look and lean into how it truly feels.

Through online Zoom sessions, facilitated playlists, and writing prompts, you’ll be gently invited to explore how your changing body can become a teacher. With each beat and breath, you’ll uncover new ways to express, adapt, and listen to the quiet wisdom within, navigating emotional landscapes through movement and mindfulness.

PROGRAM INCLUDES:

  • Four recorded curated movement sets with verbal facilitation by Shauna

  • Worksheets and creative inquiries to support your emotional and physical navigation in a framework to honour your pace and limitations with care and presence
    *ALL DELIVERED MONTHLY TO YOUR INBOX - STARTING January 2026

  • Opportunities for reflection and community through monthly Zoom sessions (includes 30 minute movement and 30 minute share) - Wednesdays: January 28 | February 25 | March 25 | April 29 - 7:00-8:00pm PST

  • One 1:1 Embodiment Coaching Session

This is for all bodies navigating the tender terrain of change, this is a space to move with what is, and to discover what’s still possible. Whether you are long time dancer or new to conscious dance, this is an invitation to explore how it is to live and dance with a change in our body.

Together, we reimagine what it means to move, to participate, to belong.
Together, we learn to navigate the dance floor—and life itself—in new and compassionate ways.

Come as you are.
Move as you can.
Discover how much is still possible.

This journey invites you to honour your resilience, your story, and your body's ever-evolving truth.

"As a life long dancer, hiker, skier, snowboarder, parent, gardener, and a general doer of all things physical - now living with a big shift in my physical ability, I am honoured to offer a space where folks can explore the tender terrain of their own change through movement, inquiry, and writing.

In December of 2024, while skiing, I sustained a major knee injury which has been both a gift and a teacher. As I continue to navigate life not being able to show up as I am used to and awaiting surgery, I have had to double down on kindness towards myself, my somatic awareness - each step I take is a meditation, and finding new ways to express, sweat, and be with my body. This injury has changed how I move, and it has deepened how I listen. Through this program, I hope to offer you support and gentle invitations to join me in exploring a new relationship with your body—one rooted in curiosity, compassion, and possibility."
