The A L C H E M Y sessions invites you to embark on a series of 5 immersive Movement Medicine journeys – gateways into experiencing the transformative and healing power of intentional movement practice.
Journeys to…
- Develop a deeply rooted and authentic embodied sense of who you are – connecting to your potency, your medicine
- Experience the joy of dancing held within an inclusive community, creating a culture of mutual respect and integrity
- Receive tools, practices and resources that can support your daily life as you grow resilience and personal power
- Become more conscious of your internal dialogue and grow the skills to transform it
These embodiment sessions are designed to help cultivate a deep and powerful relationship to yourself. One that expands to include our relationship to Others, to Community, to the Spirit World and to the Source of Life itself. Developing one’s connection across these five dimensions of relationship, supports your presence and potency on and off the dance floor. (See session structure below)
As we tap into the wisdom of the moving body, we can transform some of the lead of our habitual selves into the golden radiance of soulfulness, while growing an inner landscape of compassion. In Desmond Tutu’s words: “The key to joy is to get in touch with your own natural compassion and live from there.”
Whether you are new to embodiment wellbeing practice and conscious dance – or an experienced pro – you are welcome. Bring your curious, explorative, wild, free, and tender hearts and join a dedicated group of participants gathering. Working with the same people over a period of time – supports a safe space to deepen trust and weave community-minded, warm, welcoming and supportive connections of synergetic co-creation. You are being invited to jump on board and journey through all 5 sessions to receive the depth of the medicine.
