Welcome to the Ritual Dance – Deeper Love
How much do you love me?
How can I love you more?
What holds me back from loving you more?
Though these questions can be beautiful, I would rather ask:
How do I want to be loved?
What do you feel when you connect with me... right now?
How do you choose to connect with me?

When we connect with the soul of a person, the source of who they are, the core of their being, we move deeper into love. When we choose, time and time again to connect with all of a person, with all of ourselves, we open ourselves to deeper love.

In this Ritual Dance, I invite you to connect with love and trust. To dance with all of who you are together with all of who the other is. To choose how you will open yourself to a deeper love.

🍃WHAT IS RITUAL DANCE?🍃
Ritual Dance is a dance experience where we come together in silence. From the silence we feel into ourselves, make eye contact with another dancer, show ourselves & recognize the other. The music is the invitation to go into spontaneous, free dance.
The concept of Ritual Dance is inspired by Ecstatic Dance and Ritual Play. As we only use body language & sound, we leave words behind. We dance barefoot, only drink water and let ourselves be carried away by the natural flow. There is a demarcated space (the field) and demarcated time (the music), in which we step into the unknown, to authentically follow our impulses in tune with the other.
