Infusion enjoyed meeting up and sharing with Cambridgeshire- and Bedfordshire-based charity Baca, for movement workshops based on ‘Soothe’.
Through movement and dance, the young people enthusiastically engaged exploring concepts of emotional regulation, from adrenaline and fight and flight to soothing calm, connection and balance through partner work. They offered really creative responses and afterwards, Babak* shared, “it was amazing and good not just for your body but also for your mind.”For everyone involved it felt like a fulfilment of Baca’s mission, that the young people would be : “safe to heal, free to thrive.”
