Future Ritual is a practice of gathering, curating and organising. We collaborate with artists to create contemporary expressions of performance and ritual, working to support the emergence of new and more attuned cultures. 

We are based in Peckham (London) and work from STUDIO: Future Ritual.

Movement for PsychotherapistsMoving Presence
facilitated by emilyn claid, Peckham (London)
Saturdays: 26 Sept, 10 & 24 Oct; 7 & 21 Nov 2026

> £50 per session
> £200 for 5 sessions





Open to psychotherapists of all modalities and trainees in the final two years of training.
These movement sessions are grounded in a somatic approach to being alive in the world and aim to increase alertness about the relationality of our physical presence.

Sensing, thinking, feeling and moving are deeply connected, as ever-changing processes, coursing through our body-minds, impacting our relations with the environment and each other. 

Over five sessions, we will throw light on somatic processes of presence through movement scores based in Fundamental Developmental Movements; Letting go of Things; Relational Play and Moving to Music. Through these scores we can gain deeper understanding of how to support ourselves to be with otherness and difference. 

 While care is given to emerging concerns, this is not a therapy group, nor is this dance therapy. These are movement sessions, with time provided for participants to discuss how their experience might impact on their work with clients. 

With a background in dance, emilyn has spent the past 15 years working as a choreographer, performance artist and Gestalt psychotherapist. These sessions draw from the knowledges of both fields of practice. 

Wear comfortable clothing for movement that includes lying on the floor. We’ll work with bare feet (or socks).

Participants are invited to sign up for all sessions to gain the most from the practices. emilyn will provide participants with certificates of CPD hours if required.

‘What distinguishes emilyn’s practice is its foundation in a disciplined and sophisticated embodied philosophy. This depth of inquiry allowed us, as practitioners, to explore the edges of our own work and to reconsider how we listen, perceive, and respond, both creatively and therapeutically. The workshop operated not only as a learning experience but as a site of research, where artistic process and experiential knowledge were meaningfully integrated’. 

Billy Desmond, Gestalt Institute Ireland
