Private Sessions and Mentorships available in person or by phone
Private Sessions with Penny offer one on one time to meet what is arriving in the body, movement and life. Practices of embodied tracking, dream tending, perceptual inquiry and deep listening invite integration of experience in body, spirit, mind and soul.
Penny acts as a midwife of Soul, and an ally of the deep core of mystery, which lies in the uniqueness of each individuals experience and expression here in human form.
Sessions can include tending physical, emotional, spiritual and soulful questions and offer resources to encourage the natural and ordinary human capacity for adaptation to life’s many changes.
Including the body, through developing an increased capacity for welcoming cycles of sensation and expression, in movement, breath and sound increase and encourage our capacity and resiliency to directly experience the calamity and rapture of human life.
PAINTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT with Penny Allport Tuesdays from

Seasoned painters find new inspiration, freedom and surprise! $125.00 To register: pennyallport@gmail.com
EMBODIED WOMEN, RESILIENT GIRLS, with Penny Allport 2 Sessions available: Location: Dream Lodge - Wilson Creek, Sunshine Coast, BC After requests from both girls and women who have young ones in their lives, I have dreamed a new class, to continue to explore my ongoing thesis, that our embodiment is so essential to our development as conscious, whole human beings. The time before our teens is the foundation for the "rites of passage" we will be delivered into through our teen years. For this to occur, we need a grounded experience in the human body and as Joseph Chilton Pearce (From Magical Child to Magical Teen) says, "Our first stage of development gives us our awareness of being physical creatures in physical bodies, and opens for us a wonderful physical world for exploration." This class is a playful way to support the resiliency of ourselves and girls through practices of embodiment, self regulation and creative expression. Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you feel called to. You can bring your daughter, sister, niece, mother, grandmother, aunt, god daughter, or any other girl or woman you want to share a day of discovery with. I look forward to being with you!!

THE WELL OF REMEMBRANCE To remember is to pay tribute to. New Years Day, although the date is a cultural creation dating back to the Julian calendar of the Romans, is the world's only global public holiday. Holidays are "holy days." Holy days are days to honor the sacred, to bless and be blessed and to deepen into our divinity together as human earthlings, sharing a global journey. We remember together.
THE SACRED ART OF DREAMING a five-week adventure with Penny Allport What would it mean to become a dreaming culture again? DEEPENING IN MYSTERY INTENSIVE, with Penny Allport Welcome to a luxurious time of musing, moving, meditating, and expressing our living dreaming capacity. In this intensive, we allow time and space to open our hearts and attention, into the deep fruitful dark womb of the Earth, and the vastness of the generative imaginative cosmos. This is a time of letting go, shedding old skin realities and cultural spells, AND a time of receiving inner inspiration connected to planetary wisdom, and the seeds gestating in your The Relaxation of Effort: When the Body Says Yes! An Inquiry in Body, Movement & Life with Penny Allport (see brochure) The Rapture of Being Alive “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning to life…I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.” Joseph Campbell

Call or email to register: pennyallport@gmail.com or 604.885.4663 Moving the Medicine of Dreams with Penny Allport The Re-enchantment of the Body, Movement & Life We question cultural beliefs, the history of exercise and its origins, the origins of life itself and what it means to be human, to have and be a living organism on the planet earth. We explore the body as a living activity, not something to be controlled, shaped, fixed and objectified, but an intelligent and indigenously wise organism with resources yet to be integrated. We move and are moved, breathe and are breathed, sound and uncover new meaning through rich inquiries into embodied consciousness. Yoga, Continuum Movement, Evolutionary Movement, Perceptual Inquiry and deep listening offer fresh possibilities for movement, pleasure, and integration in the body and life. What is Continuum Movement?
