On ??????, ???????? ????, you're invited to join ?????????? ???????? ?????????? & ?????????? ???? ?????????, ??? ?????? (they/them), and ???? ?????? ??, ?????? ?????? (she/her), for a mindful gathering focused on deep attunement to your body, heart, and soul. This event offers an opportunity to slow down, leave behind the demands and to-do lists of the external world, and mindfully connect with the abundance of your inner sanctuary. It's also a chance to realign your actions with your core being in anticipation of the winter months ahead.
Kai will lead you through a trauma-informed art session of somatic body mapping (a form of easy-access art that creates visual representations of our sensory bodies), guiding us to tap into our creativity and embodiment. (No previous art experience necessary).
Hassti will then take us into an ecstatic dance session to awaken the body’s natural intelligence through movement. We will then return to a final art expression.
This evening offers an opportunity to be unhurried, leave behind the demands of daily life, and connect with the richness of your inner world - helping you to get out of mind and into body.

It's a unique style of dance that's all about free expression and letting your body move to the beat of your own drum. Unlike traditional dance classes, there's no choreography to follow or steps to learn - it's all about letting go and allowing the music to guide you. In an Ecstatic Dance session, you'll be surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for movement and self-exploration. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a complete novice, everyone is welcome to join in the fun.
