✨ What to expect:
We will begin with an opening circle and intention setting, which will then lead into a 1.5hr free-form dance journey guided by Deanna. This wave of a journey will start off gentle, then slowly gain energy, designed to help you release and drop deeper into your body. The energy will then come back down, centering and grounding us all before we embark on our Earth medicine journey.
From the dance studio, we will mindfully walk to Moore Creek Preserve (10min walk from the studio), where we will embark on a 1.5hr guided nature-connection journey. This journey will involve silent mindful walking, solo time on the land, ritual, song, and sharing. We will conclude with a closing circle before walking back to our cars together.
