What we are journeying through:
What happens when we shift out of our habitual mode of “processing” and make space for discomfort…
when we bypass our reason and navigate our internal world through movement…
when we stop looking for ways to fix ourselves and instead give ourselves permission to fail…
when we connect with our inner creative flow and let it shine through us...
This series is an exploration of these questions, a space to see what might emerge; to let go of expectations and allow space for the unknown.
Through letting go of our stories, and giving ourselves space to fail, we open up the opportunity to connect with the beauty and fullness of what our dance can truly be...
We explore how dance can be a way of making prayer, of making offering, or connecting with what we love and letting this shine thorugh us.
We rarely find ourselves in explore mode, rarely find ourselves stepping out of familiarity into something strange, yet, real growth and real beauty happen when we don’t have all the answers, when the path is not worked out, when we are met with rough terrain.
This workshop is not about learning how to dance.
It is a practice of wondering about how we might show up in the world more presently, courageously, and more fully embodied.
It is a practice of diving into the unexamined parts of our selves and seeing how we might bring compassion, care, and gratitude to these neglected spaces, how we might unlearn patterns of self-doubt/judgement, and make space for self-trust, forgiveness, and wonder and make our dance into a beautiful offering to all that we love.
