Movement Meditation | Freedom Dance for BIPOC
About this Event
Freedom Dance Collective believes that liberation begins with the body and ripples out to change the world.
We are a joy-forward BIPOC community space where you can move through it all - free of talk, substances and judgment.
On Saturday, September 5, Sapana Doshi is leading Merge & Emerge: a guided movement meditation and freestyle dance experience for BIPOC. It's a space for authentic self-expression, where we use movement to release trapped emotions, tap into intuition, and work through everything you're experiencing in your mind and body.
The 90-minute sessions take you on a journey that begins with a warm-up and brief guided movement practice, and then builds into freestyle dance to curated music.
You can dance with partners or by yourself; you can move slowly or run around the space.
There are no expectations for how you’re supposed to look — you are free to do whatever you want to do, without judgment.
We wind down with a few moments of introspection and spiritual stillness, and then end with a closing circle where folks can reflect and share about their experience.
Come as you are. No experience necessary. If you can breathe, you can dance!
