About
Just as fragile golden threads give depth and quality to fabrics, so the unusual, quirky and sometimes delicate elements of ourselves bring meaning and value to the fabric of our lives and relationships.
Established in 2020, Golden Threads cic brings together a range of physical, reflective and creative approaches under one organisation with the aim of supporting individuals and groups to discover, value and nurture the unique coloured threads within themselves.
Enid Gill
Enid Gill, director and creator of Golden Threads, has been working within the professional dance world as a contemporary dance artist and teacher for 30 years. As a somatic practitioner and therapist, Enid has been building her experience and understanding of the links between body, mind and emotions. She is an instructor of the Art of Chi, Stevanovitch method of Tai Chi Chuan, a member of the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain and a registered Dance Movement Psychotherapist.
Enid has seen how dance and working with the body can teach, liberate and empower people, giving new meaning and increasing their freedom to be who they are in their lives.
Lauren Jones
Lauren is a dance and movement practitioner and Psychotherapist based in the West Midlands.
With nearly a decade working in Central Australia, Lauren has recently relocated back to the UK and is exploring how the two vastly different countries and cultures shape her work.
Lauren has a passion for connecting communities through her facilitation, projects and love for movement and the arts. She believes that everybody should have the right to be seen and heard and acknowledges the power the arts can have in giving people a voice. As a Psychotherapist she uses the body mind connection to support wellbeing and enable people to develop their own coping mechanisms.
She has worked as a creative producer on a number of different projects, one of which was exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, Australia.
Lauren is incredibly excited to be working with Golden Threads. Hoping to continue to support the wider community, she also intends to explore and develop her own movement practice and sense of place.
