Manifestation Through Movement

The new year is a potent time to set goals and intentions, but we often find ourselves claiming New Year’s resolutions and not following through. This is because most of us need an anchor to deeply root and harness these goals and resolutions.

Our bodies are powerful anchors. They hold massive amounts of information, and they remember in ways our minds can’t comprehend.

Our bodies hold our intuition, a wisdom that runs deeper than our intellect.

Our bodies speak a language that words can’t express. By moving our intentions through our bodies, we create a greater capacity to hold, honor, and remember our intentions.

The New Year is also a powerful time to reflect and transmute our lessons from the previous year. Our emotions, expression, and healing all happen through movement. This is where true transmutation begins.

We can’t envision a new future without honoring the past. In this workshop, we will do both.

You will be guided through a 5-step journey into:

…something that you want to release

…something that you want to heal

…something that you want to feel

...something that you want to receive

…something that you want to give

We will explore through solo and group movement explorations, guided journeys, and meditations. No formal dance or meditation experience is necessary. All experience levels are welcome. We will complete with a sound bath to rest and integrate the evening’s experience. You are welcome to invite your community to participate with you in the sound bath. We will keep the space open for an Open Session after the sound bath for continued integration and celebration through movement.

Your Guides:

Ashlee Vilos started her own healing journey as a dancer. When she was 16 years old she taught and performed at her mom's studio as many hours as she could. Losing her dog unexpectedly one night set her into emotions she had never felt before. When she was called early the next morning to start rehearsals at the studio, she didn’t have the words to refuse. Standing in her sorrow in a room full of students, playing music, and starting to move into a warmup taught her that movement and music had more to them than she could have ever been ready for. She knew they had the power to heal. As an adult, she has continued her dance career as a director, teacher, and performer but has worked in tandem with energetic and movement methods to navigate through life’s ups and downs. She is a reiki master, energy worker, crystal enthusiast, and will be finishing her 500-hour yoga certification in December. She has created a class called Meditative Movement and loves guiding individuals through their dance, observing their emotions, and ultimately assisting them in the return to their heart space. She is excited to weave her knowledge and music together with Nicholette Routhier for this Manifestation Through Movement workshop.
