What is a group Shake? I like this description from Jared Williams, Anya Smolnikova and Rose Cole-Cohen on The Field Center’s website:
Our Group Shake is a durational collective somatic event. We shake, to music {most of the time}, together for a duration with the emphasis on shaking and rocking the body in various ways. It can look like dancing but we don’t have to be concerned with appearance, skill or rhythm. Group and individual ecstatic and meditative states can be achieved [but may not be]. Shaking is a simple and individual task-based practice without explicit goals but also beneficial for circulation, nervous system and systemic health. Shaking takes many formats in cultures around the globe, across lifeforms, and to the subatomic level. Shaking is one of the body’s natural impulses to relieve tension.
Spread the word and bring a friend or two, it’s a nice energizing way to start the day!
