We invite you to experience an azul conscious dance practice on Sunday, September 29: "Journey Within: Dance, Draw, Reflect"
Join a transformative exploration of self through movement, art, and introspection. This workshop invites you to delve deep within, using dance as a gateway to connect with your innermost emotions. Unleash your creativity as you translate these feelings into art, whether through drawing, painting, or journaling. This holistic experience encourages you to discover new images, ideas and feelings within yourself, embrace your authenticity and express it freely. It’s a simple yet profound way to connect with your body’s natural rhythms and explore the depth of your inner world.
What to expect:
This session combines azul conscious dance, movement therapy techniques, and community interaction. Guided by thoughtfully curated music, deep inquiries and a supportive environment, you will experience a safe space to express yourself freely, explore new movements, and connect with others. The focus is on deepening your understanding of your body and emotions, fostering emotional resilience, enhancing creative expression, and improving overall well-being. This practice allows you to access the deeper layers of your unconscious through spontaneous, intuitive movement.
Workshop Flow:
- Warm-Up and Opening Circle: We’ll start by gently warming up our bodies, followed by an opening circle to set intentions and create a relaxed, comfortable space. You’ll also receive a simple introduction to Authentic Movement, guiding you into this new method with ease.
- Authentic Movement Session: Let your body guide you as we explore one or two variations of Authentic Movement, allowing the unconscious to surface through spontaneous movement. Afterwards, we’ll spend a short time reflecting through drawing or journaling to capture your inner discoveries. You’ll have the opportunity to share drawings, if you want, and be inspired by the energy of the group.
- Azul Conscious Dance: This session transitions into Azul Conscious Dance, where we’ll express everything we’ve uncovered through dynamic, free-flowing movement with beautiful music.
- Closing Circle: We’ll come together in a closing circle to share insights and solidify the connections we’ve made throughout the day.
Why Join?
This workshop is an invitation to explore the depth of your inner world, and by engaging in both Authentic Movement and Azul Conscious Dance, you’ll find new ways to express, release, and connect with others in a space of empathy and joy. The practice allows you to express what is often unspoken, offering a profound way to engage with your own emotions, stories, and creative impulses. Whether you’re seeking personal insight, emotional release, or a creative outlet, this session offers a transformative experience.
"Movement, to be experienced, has to be 'found' in the body, not put on like a dress or a coat." - Mary Starks Whitehouse
"Through movement, we bypass the analytical mind and access a well of inner knowing. The body has a wisdom all its own, capable of guiding us to heal and transform." – Linda Hartley
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate." - Carl Jung
Let's embrace the deep journey and move towards greater self-awareness, freedom, and joy!
Whether you’re new to movement practices or an experienced explorer, this session will help you connect more deeply with yourself and others, all within a safe and supportive environment.
What to bring/wear:
- Wear comfortable clothing suitable for movement. You can dance in non-slippery socks or barefoot.
- Please avoid or minimize perfume use, as strong scents can be distracting or uncomfortable for some participants.
- Bring water to stay hydrated.
- You can bring your art (drawing/painting/sculpting) supplies, if you want. Basic materials will be provided.

What is Azul conscious dance?
Azul conscious dance is a practice of deep listening and authentic movement. It's not about performing or looking good; it's about tuning into your body's natural rhythms and expressions. Whether you find yourself moving freely or engaging in subtle, internal movements, this practice is all about embracing what feels true for you in the moment.
