"To light a candle is to cast a shadow" Ursula Le Guin
On the approach to Summer Solstice, during the days of midsummer when the sun moves towards its highest point in the sky, this day of movement, enquiry and embodied dance is designed to ground, expand and resource us as we travel through the realms of body, heart, mind and spirit.
Our soul encompasses both light and darkness, and when the light of the sun is high and strong at this time of year, our shadows are at their longest. We can see more clearly into our true nature and recognise the places where we are bound. We can shed old ways of behaviour and be supported to radiate and shine our essence into this world.
In the dance we meet the intelligence of the life force moving through us, we practice yielding to what arises and giving it form and expression. This opens doorways to our authentic selves and encourages us to access places we may have yet to own and embody.
Drawing on the resources of Open Floor movement practice and the healing power of dance as meditation, we turn towards our light and our darkness including both the rich fertile darkness of creation and the places where we hide, moving with what is illuminated and with what is emerging, gently integrating what we can with curiosity and compassion.
This day retreat is open to all and no previous experience is required.
€110 / €95 (booked by May 21st)
