Dance can be healing as it promotes physical and mental well-being through movement, self-expression, and emotional release. Improving your mood, reducing stress, and enhancing overall health by strengthening the body, mind, and spirit connection .In the words of poet , Robert Bly: “You are a radiant package of cosmic wonder , an unspeakably sublime bolt of primordial resonance , a barely coalesced bundle of blinding beauty …”
In other words , you’re a miracle in the flesh!
Come and explore the “miles of wild & wonderful wilderness that exists between your head & your feet “
Step into somatic experiencing through rhythm , breath , & dropping into the beat .
Movement is Medicine
& you are the guru of your divine temple : Your Body
Come & explore how
“the body keeps the score “ through play, & unleash your creativity with the embodiment pillars of: Breath, movement , sound & awareness
Drop into your body’s wisdom
& let your intuition move you
