About this Event

Workshop February 8th

🌑 Session 1 – Emotional Awareness: Listening to the Body

🌀 Observe without judging

We begin by slowing down and turning inward. Through grounding, breathwork, body scans and very gentle movements, you’ll learn to notice where emotions live in your body—especially tension, frustration, or anger.

✨ Focus:

• Developing emotional awareness

• Recognizing physical sensations linked to emotions

• Creating safety in the body

This session lays the foundation: before transforming an emotion, we must first see it.

🌊 Session 2 – Emotional Acceptance: Welcoming What Is

🤍 Allowing instead of resisting

Here, we explore how to welcome emotions instead of pushing them away. Using fluid belly dance movements, circles, and grounding exercises, you’ll give space to emotions to exist without shame or fear.

✨ Focus:

• Acceptance and self-compassion

• Softening control and resistance

• Building trust with your body

This is where emotions begin to shift naturally—because they are finally allowed to move.

🔥 Session 3 – Emotional Release & Transformation: From Fire to Power

⚡ Moving anger, reclaiming strength

This session is more dynamic and expressive. We consciously work with anger and inner fire, using strong, rhythmic, and earthy movements to release stored emotional energy and transform it into vitality, confidence, and assertiveness.

✨ Focus:

• Healthy expression of anger

• Reclaiming personal power

• Turning intensity into creative energy

Anger becomes fuel, not something to suppress.

🌺 Session 4 – Embodied Expression: Owning Your Feminine Energy

🌸 Letting your authentic movement emerge

Now that the emotional energy has shifted, we explore free, intuitive expression. Participants are guided into improvisation, emotional storytelling through movement, and feminine presence.

✨ Focus:

• Authentic self-expression

• Confidence and sensual grounding

• Connecting emotion, music, and movement

This session is about being seen by yourself, fully embodied.

✨ Session 5 – Integration & Celebration: Anchoring the Transformation

🌕 Embodiment, connection, and closure

The final session is a ritual of integration and celebration. Through gentle dance, grounding practices, reflection, and group connection, we anchor the transformation into daily life.

✨ Focus:

• Emotional integration

• Nervous system regulation

• Celebration of the journey

You leave feeling rooted, lighter, and empowered, with tools you can reuse beyond the workshop.

🌿 What Makes This Workshop Unique

✔️ Trauma-informed & body-based

✔️ Inspired by psychology, mindfulness & somatic practices

✔️ No dance experience required

✔️ Safe, non-judgmental space

✔️ Community, connection & feminine support

This is a journey back to your body, where emotions are not problems to fix—but messages to move, listen to, and transform 💫
