Devon School Soul Motion

How do we learn to lead a group while making space for the unknown?

How do we balance clear invitations with allowing what wants to happen?

Leela shares a little nugget from our recent Q&A about the art of holding space, the gift of not knowing and allowing improvisation to unfold.

A glimpse into what we explore in the Devon School of Soul Motion training...

Our next Level 1 Personal Embodiment for Leadership starts in May 2027 🌿

Curious about the Devon School of Soul Motion training?

Our next Level 1 Personal Embodiment for Leadership training begins in May 2027, and applications open on 5 October.

If you’re wondering whether the training might be for you, come along to an online Q&A with Leela Fisk and Adam Griffin on Monday 5 October at midday.

It’s a chance to meet some of the team, hear more about who’ll be involved in the training and ask anything you’d like to know about the structure, content, prerequisites or what the journey involves.

Level 1 is a year-long exploration of embodiment, movement and self-leadership, grounded in somatic enquiry, improvisation and relationship. It’s the first step in our two-stage pathway towards becoming a certified movement teacher.

The Devon School of Soul Motion training programme is approved by the International Conscious Movement Teachers Association (ICMTA).

There’s absolutely no expectation that coming to the Q&A means committing to the training. You’re very welcome to simply come along, listen and see whether it sparks something in you.

It’s an informal Q&A, so feel free to join from wherever you are, even if you’re out and about.

Monday 5 October
12:00-12:45pm (UK)
Online via Zoom

What happens when we give the body space to speak? The body has so many ways to express itself!

Women, join Leela Fisk and Kate Reed for a rich morning of movement, sound, words and creativity at Dartington.

We'll slow down, listen and explore what wants to emerge through the body, allowing movement and murmurings to gradually find their way into sound, words and perhaps even a poem…

Weaving together mindful movement, sounding and writing, through a mix of solo, partner and group explorations….

No need to know where any of it is going. No experience of movement or writing required at all.

And, weather permitting, we'll head into the gorgeous Dartington Gardens, bringing our senses and the natural world into the exploration too 🌱🍂

✨ Monday 28 September
✨ 10am–1pm
✨ Dartington Trust Studio 6, Totnes
✨ £0–£30 sliding scale

Thanks to National Lottery Community Funding, spaces are freely available - choose what you pay on a sliding scale.

A Movement for Life community group project, supported by National Lottery Community Funding.

Mon 28th Sep 2026, 10am – 1pm BST (UTC +01:00)

Into autumn we dance 🍂 A fully booked Friday Night Dance series sets sail today. Here we go!

Want to dance more at home? 💃

Did you know there’s a whole library of guided movement sessions with Leela Fisk available to listen to for free on Mixcloud?

Pop one on, create a little space for yourself and be guided through 45min–1hr of movement and music.

It’s a really lovely resource if you want to bring more movement into your week, especially on those days when you know you’d feel better for moving but don’t quite know where to begin.

And if you’ve been curious about joining one of Leela’s groups, but committing to a group with someone you don’t know feels like a big step, it’s also a gentle way to get a flavour of her approach from your own home.

Check them out here: https://www.mixcloud.com/LeelaFisk/

P.S. If you’d like to dance with Leela live, there’s currently 1 place left for Friday Night Dance (starts 11 September) and 4 places left for Movement for Well-Being, the online group for women (starts 23 September), plus some drop-in sessions. Find all upcoming events on the Devon School of Soul Motion Calendar https://devonschoolsoulmotion.org/calendar/

Leela Fisk is on Mixcloud. Listen for free to their radio shows, DJ mix sets and Podcasts

We love seeing where our graduates take their practice after completing the Soul Motion training 🤩

Emma Piercey-Fisher now runs Connect Conscious Dance, a weekly drop-in class at The Yard in Buckfastleigh.

In her words:

“It’s a safe and nurturing space where we come together as a small group to check in, listen in and move just as we like.

My aim for every session is to create a safe container where everyone gets to choose themselves. To take time and space for their body, to move at their pace and discover the rhythm of their unique soul.”

Connect Conscious Dance
Mondays, 5.15–6.30pm
The Yard, Buckfastleigh
