Applying mindfulness, stillness and movement, Arawana’s skillful and soothing facilitation guides us to trust and follow our sense perceptions while leaning into the insights available within our individually and collectively ‘stuck’ places.

Arawana heads the creation of Social Presencing Theater (SPT) for the Presencing Institute.

She has been Co-Director of the Dance Program at Naropa University, Boulder, CO; and founder-director of two contemporary dance companies in Cambridge, MA.
She is currently on the core faculty of the Presencing Institute.
