Ecstatic Dance & SoulCollage®

Ecstatic dance offers a powerful way to reconnect with your inner child by providing a non-judgmental, free-form space for authentic expression. By getting out of your head and into your body, dancing away inhibitions, and embracing playful, wild movements, you give your inner child permission to be seen, heard, and felt.

Making collaged cards using the intuitive SoulCollage® method offers a natural and gentle pathway to the Inner Child because it speaks the language that children know best: images, imagination, and play. The tactile, hands-on nature of SoulCollage®—touching paper, choosing images, cutting and arranging—often awakens a childlike state of curiosity and presence.

• Permission to Play: The core rules (no talking, no judgment, no intoxicants) create a safe container for pure, authentic movement, letting you express quirks, giggles, and spontaneous joy that your inner child craves.
• Somatic Release: Unprocessed emotions and trauma get stored in the body; free movement allows you to shake, wiggle, and move in ways that release these blockages, helping you feel grounded and whole.
• Reclaiming Joy: It's a chance to rediscover the simple, uninhibited pleasure of moving your body, tapping into childlike wonder and energy.
• Body-Mind Connection: It helps you move past self-consciousness and mental stories, fostering a deep, intuitive connection with your body's wisdom and sensations.
• Honoring Your Journey: For many practitioners, ecstatic dance becomes a sacred meeting place with the inner child. In this embodied communion, movement becomes both witness and celebration: honoring the stories that shaped you, releasing what is ready to soften, and reconnecting with the playful, vital essence that remains intact.

• Show Up As You Are: No experience or "good dancing" required; just bring your authentic self.
• Listen to the Music: Let the rhythm guide you, allowing different emotions and sensations to arise and move through you.
• Move Freely: Don't worry about what it looks like; try skipping, shaking, jumping, or slow, intuitive movements.
• Be Present: Stay off your phone and focus inward, connecting with your breath and body.
• Embrace "All Ways": Give yourself permission to be silly, serious, wild, or gentle, recognizing that every movement serves a purpose.
  

an expressive art,
a creative collage process,
a dance of right and left brain,
a method of self-discovery, self-awareness, and personal empowerment,
a healing soul journey.

SoulCollage® combines images, imagination, and intuition with sacred, surprise, and synchronicity for self-expression and self-discovery.

You create your own visual deck of collaged cards to symbolize those inner parts of yourself, your community, and the archetypes who are choosing to work in you. There are an abundance of ways to work and play with your cards to answer your life’s questions and find guidance from within.

When used together, SoulCollage® and Inner Child work offer powerful pathways for personal growth.
