You are warmly welcomed to join us for a three part outdoor dance series, taking place surrounded by tall trees and overlooking the beauty of the Bay at China Camp Beach Park. We will practice 5Rhythms dance outdoors using silent disco headsets - getting embodied on earth, using movement to music to call us present to the pleasure of being alive. We use the dance as a practice of moving mindfulness, as a way to “drop into the zone”, to get inspired and uplifted by being out in nature.In each session there will be an invitation to take part in a simple nature-based ceremony. This is an opportunity to honour a moment in your own life that needs marking. These non-denominational nature based ceremonies are drawn from nature based practices from Tess’ original homeland of the Uk where she was born and raised. We will simply notice what was, honour what is, send some intentions out for what will be!
On April the 7th we will focus on Budding and calling in the goodness that is coming forth
On May the 5th we will focus on Blossoming we will explore giving our gifts and letting ourselves unfold into the life that is waiting for us- a Beltane celebration of delight and daring.
On June 2nd we will focus on Blossoming- on letting our inner light shine bright.
You are warmly welcomed to join us for one session or come along to all three.
No previous dance experience is necessary, just a willingness to dive in and join the dance. We use the dance is a potent movement-based mindfulness practice. There are no steps to learn and nothing to “get right”- just moving to the music and to gentle guidance delivered through the headsets. We use the dance to drop down in to the body (in a similar way that yoga does); supporting us to connect deeper- to ourselves, to others and to the wider natural world around us.
It is important to me that we make time for mindful moments in our lives, to stop and celebrate amidst the relentless tides of time. To pause for pleasure, for reflection, for restoration... To dance as deliberate act of living fully and drinking in life deeply :)
These sunset dances bring me so much joy - all dancing togther as we move to the beats- looking out across the Bay :)
