Ann Stevenson

Ann began her exploration of the Discipline of Authentic Movement in 2008 with a colleague. In 2010, Ann committed to annual group retreats with Janet Adler. The annual retreats combined with regular studio practice provided a vital place for Ann to honor direct experience and intuitive knowing in herself and others. The retreats evolved into the Circles of Four post-graduate program. Within the Circles of Four program (2013-2019), Ann worked with Janet Adler, Jeanne Castle, Bonnie Morrissey, Susan Cahill, and Paula Sager and received her blessing as a teacher within the Circles of Four program in 2019. 

Ann currently offers the Discipline of Authentic Movement to individuals and small groups on an ongoing basis in her studio in Missoula, MT. The relational, embodied, and mystical aspects of the Discipline of Authentic Movement inform Ann’s orientation as a psychotherapist.

Other influences of her work are years of meditation, various movement/dance forms, love of poetry and music, ongoing participation in small wisdom groups, and copious time alone and with friends in nature.
