Chakra Dancing & Mindful Meditation

What is Chakra Dancing?

If you have wondered what Chakra Dancing is all about, and been interested in trying it out, now’s your chance, as Ruth McEwen, a fully qualified Chakra Dancing and Mindful Meditation Therapist, Reiki Master and Sound Healer, is delighted to be facilitating our ecstatic Chakra Dancing and Guided Meditation experience on 29th October.

Chakra Dancing is a free-form somatic movement and dance therapy that encourages the dancer to move mindfully to beautiful music, specially selected to resonate with the vibrations of each of the body’s 7 major chakras, or energy centres. Ruth takes you on a journey to open and rebalance your chakras from your root chakra to the crown.

In this safely held space, Ruth will invite you to let go of the day to day internal chatter, to release any stress, tension and judgement, to simply to dance and move expressively in your own unique way.

The experience is revitalising, rebalancing and relaxing.

After the 1 hour dance, Ruth offers a deeply relaxing guided meditation.


Regular somatic movement, dance and meditation is proven to lower the stress hormones that increase harmful cortisol levels leading to inflammation, reduced ability to fight off infections, and physical and mental health issues if elevated for long periods of time.

Welcome to SunFire's Ecstatic Dance Wednesdays!

We gather at St James Church Community Hall in Pokesdown, Bournemouth.

This is a conscious dance practice of movement and free flowing dance that integrates emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

We embark on a movement journey allowing moments of gentle flow, natural rhythm, release, elation, stillness and reflection. When we move, we can quiet the mind and innately embody the rhythm of the music, freeing our selves and opening us to new perspectives. There are no steps to follow, just your own feet and your own heartbeat. There will be moments of guided meditation and others where you can deep dive into the music.

We invite Conscious Dance facilitators to lead us through a movement and sound journey. Tonight Ruth McEwen, Chakra Dancing and Mindful Meditation Wellbeing Therapist, will lead us on a Sacral Chakra movement journey. Apt as we are in the Autumnal season where root veggies are in abundance and a few days from Halloween celebrations.

☀️ We dance from 18:55-21:00 at St James's Church Pokesdown Hill Christchurch Road Pokesdown Bournemouth BH7 6DW.

ABOUT JUDEZ SUNFIRE Judez has a background in drama, dance, voice, and breathwork modalities. Conscious dance has been an inspirational part of her life. Her vision is to create safe spaces of free expression, conscious movement to release, receive, embrace and heal, as well as revel in the joy of the dance. She is a conscious and ecstatic dance facilitator and DJ.


SUNFIRE DANCE

SunFire Dance offer Ecstatic and Conscious Dance events in Dorset. Judez was inspired to start her Movement Meditations, Beach, Forest and Celtic Calendar Conscious Dances, and this has grown to include Ecstatic Dance in Wimborne at Gaunts House and The Neptune Harvester.

There is something magical about coming together in community, whether it be dancing on the beach under the luminous full moon or in the crisp morning air watching the sunrise, gathering around a fire in community and sharing a conscious dance. It is always a special event.

Sun - born in the place of the Sun. Invite a ray of sunshine and light into your life. No matter how dark, cold, frozen or bleak life may seem. Move and ignite your passions.

Fire - it only takes a spark to get the creative fire burning. Fire can also burn away the old, that which no longer serves us. Out of the embers, new shoots and regrowth can form to transmute it into new life, new hope, a new dawn for you. Fire for warmth, for life, for nourishment

Dance - dance to move energy, dance to energise, dance when filled with sorrow, dance when filled with joy, dance to connect with others, dance to connect with self, dance your journey, dance of life.
