Description
We are delighted to offer our next session of Mama Mycelia's Community Hub offerings for psychedelic preparation and integration.
On Wednesday evening 27 November in Hout Bay, we'll be exploring the movement of our impulse and our breath through a BodyTheatre session facilitated by Gareth Pretorius, visiting us all the way from the Garden Route. Originally trained as a performer, Gareth is a body-movement and psychotherapist with a passion for exploring the soul's expression through physical movement and form.
BodyTheatre
Impulse movement is the body's unmediated response to the whispers of the soul. Thought slowly fades, instinct inspires motion and the body reveals the image hidden within the impulse.
In this session, which is open to everyone from 18-80, you will be guided to follow your inner rhythms, to dance through the emotion into imagination & to rediscover a playful physicality.
Whether you're seeking creativity, relaxation, or self-discovery, come explore your body's unique language. No dance experience needed.
Be moved by the Breath that moves you!
About the Facilitator: Gareth Pretorius

Psychedelic Preparation & Integration
Community Hub
Our community space offers different modalities that support the preparation for, and integration of psychedelic experiences.
When we say 'psychedelic', we mean 'soul-revealing'.
'Psychedelic' experiences, therefore, can include a variety of significant and peak experiences, such as:
- times of intense or chronic illness
- sustained injuries
- life-changing events
- bliss experiences from meditative states
- psychotropic plant journeys
- any other peak experiences that you would classify as significant and in need of integrating through body, mind and soul
Through a variety of modalities, we tend to the aspects of mind and psyche, energy, emotional and physical bodies, relationships and community:
- Sound & Silence Journeys
- TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)
- Impulse Movement and Conscious Dance
- Breathwork
- Psychological Integration Processes
- Individual depth therapy and process work is also available
