Rediscovering and Finding Sanctuary In Processing Childhood Trauma Through Movement & Rhythm

Tuni Deignan is passionate about all that she does. In all that she does from dance to writing to parenting to mediating it is all about the flow and dance . She breaks the rules and finds the rhythm.

You just have to listen

 

Love this quote from our conversation, " Creativity is stillness, awareness, noticing, pausing". 

 

Antonia Deignan is the mother of five children - three young men, two young women. But years before the adventure of motherhood, she parlayed her childhood years of theater into a professional ballet and jazz dance career.

 

Following a bike accident at fifty-five, which temporarily eliminated movement from her daily existence, she found new expression through writing. The years of recovery after the accident became a gift. She rediscovered, and ultimately, found sanctuary in processing survival of childhood trauma through her body’s art and her mind’s dreams.

 

One thing she has learned through writing her memoir is this: her most favorite thing is moving alongside the rhythms within her; like a soul’s calling and progressing that expression into the written word. She has multiple publications in magazine and online formats, and this is her first book.
