💎 DANCE SANCTUARY: Embodied Dance Portals for Inner/Outer transformation 💎What is longing to express, shift, move and be moved inside of you?
Welcoming your stuckness, your fierceness, your tenderness, your longing, your confusion, your passion, your humanity: to move and be moved.
Welcoming the subtle waves of your emotional body, your chattering monkey mind, the radiance of your inextinguishable soul, and the miraculous vessel of your body that is DESTINED to move and be moved.
Welcoming ALL of these parts (and whatever shades in between) to come to MOVE and be INCLUDED on this dance-floor-of-life: welcome to DANCE SANCTUARY, a bi-monthly embodied-dance portal for inner/outer transformation.
💎
Calling in the Ancient-Modern-Medicines of DANCE, MUSIC, CONSCIOUSNESS & RITUAL-TOGETHERNESS--into the heart of our Berlin urban landscapes—as resourcing tools to MOVE with the complex landscapes of Life & living in these times: re-connecting the disconnected parts, reigniting our humanity, and celebrating our inter-connection to ourselves and to all of LIFE...anchoring in an embodied Holy Shift into our bodies-minds-souls: to be better equipped with dancing with this holy messy dance of LIFE.
💎
These evenings will be guided by the embodied-dance teachings of Open Floor: a resource-based dance-practice that honors the inter-connection between our bodies-minds-emotions & soul, and summons an anchoring of embodied-presence into the body...Open Floor is a profound—yet simple--sensual-embodied-practice for healing and transformation through the powerful grace & healing art that is DANCE.
💎 Let's get better at moving with this holy messy dance of Life, shall we? 💎
Dance Sanctuary Flow:
⋙ WELCOME: Doors open at 19.15 and close promptly at 19.45. Please note entry after 19.45 isn’t possible.
⋙ OPENING YOUR ATTENTION: Please enter the dance-space in a non-verbal fashion (leave your words in the changing room), and dive into WARMING UP your body, arriving, sensing what is alive, what are you bringing with you, what is longing to be moved? Give yourself permission and time to drop in.
⋙ ENTERING & EXPLORING: After a juicy warm-up, we'll gather to explore the theme for the evening (based on the Core Movement Resources of Open Floor), move into various embodied-explorations together (solo, in contact, as a group, & with connection to spirit/life-force), as well as having plenty of space to “just dance”...the space will be guided verbally with prompts, invitations & inspirations to support a deeper anchoring into the dance. You are invited to FULLY follow the AUTHENTIC wisdom of your dance, your expression: however that looks like...The guidance is intended to aid in MOVING and INCLUDING whatever is present, and bring it into transforming-movement.
⋙ SETTLING: we'll take time to settle at the end of these explorations & the larger dance flow: to allow the impulses and experiences to find their end-pulse...the space will be open afterwards to connect, reflect, harvest before you enter out into the Berliner-Saturday night.

💎 What to bring/expect:
⋙ Wear clothes you love to move in, and love to sweat in: there is a shower and a proper changing room at Center for Dance (to freshen yourself for Berghain ;)).
⋙ Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, maybe a snack for afterwards: try not to eat TOO much before moving, but also don't come too hungry. Nourish yourself.
⋙ Leave your phones off/in your bag, and please do not interact with them during the dance (No shazamming-talk to me after the class if you like a track!).
⋙ A WHOLE VARIETY of different music styles will be played (on a REALLY NICE sound system by the way): to represent the various colors and textures of life...you are invited to use the music to aid in the mindfulness of your dance: and be authentic with what is moving YOU (not just how the music is moving others)
⋙ This is not a DJ set or an Ecstatic Dance: I will be on the microphone to guide various moments on our journey...this is more of an exploratory embodied-laboratory: see how the guidance given can support you...and you are the master of your dance (and your life), so also follow your own guidance over anything else.
⋙ EVERYONE IS A DANCER: may we bring in this prayer of remembering this truth...this is not a performative art, but a healing and transformational art...allow yourself to be surprised, and open yourself to witness whether you are moving out of HABIT or CHOICE...let's embody the freedom of consciousness that aids in this exploration.
⋙ THIS IS A SANCTUARY: a space for refuge, reflection, expression, embodied-nourishment on various levels of our being...and it takes a sudden village to hold such a space. Please come exactly as you are (I seriously mean that), and please come with honor and respect for what others are bringing with them...let's remember the art of being human, as we also remember the art of leaning into the “more-than-human” world that longs to deeply support us...May we be DANCED: by life, by spirit, by these miracles of our bodies and souls in flesh.

💎 These evenings will be guided by Alma Omega, a Mystic-Creatrix-Rebel-Healing-Artist who has been professionally Djing for over 20 years, a devote dancer of various (underground) cultures for life-times, a certified Open Floor Dance facilitator, and is currently returning to Berlin to ANCHOR in the practice & exploration of dance-movement-ritual-community for both inner & outer transformation. Holy Shift is this inquiry and this prayer, and Dance Sanctuary is the space in which we have the privilege to freely dance-move-explore together.
