Asheville Integrative Psychiatry

Join Erika McClung, PMHNP and nature therapist, for movement on the land at our 16-acre sanctuary.

Shake, jump, wiggle, dance, and play to good music in good company. Similar in format to ecstatic dance, we celebrate our intentions and let the music and emotions move through our bodies in whatever way feels best to us, without judgement or expectation. Come see how healing movement can be!
