About this Event
A NUMINOUS ONE-DAY DANCE MASTERCLASS
In this numinous one-day masterclass, we will explore the essence of The Soul Body and The Shadow Body through dance.
How to dance your own poetry... and retrieve your hidden power... from deep in your unconscious psyche.
"The body is an oracle." –Pasha Lyndi
This is the first time these potent practices are being shared live.
They will revolutionize your dance and how you show up in life!
.
🌿 WHAT WILL WE DO?
All day, we will connect deeply with the authentic self.
With the soulful parts of the psyche, with our divinity... rooted way deeper than the ego.
MORNING
Our morning work with The Shadow Body looks like this:-
Our bodies long to feel whole and alive!
If we listen to the love language of the body... the slight tension in the jaw... the excitement in the belly... the ache in the lower back... the body will reveal our hidden longing, lying beneath.
This journey dances us from felt sensation, through our emotional landscape, into meaning... revealing the hidden treasures in our shadow body...
...our desires, our neuroses, our lessons, our untapped strengths and gifts.
What do you long for? What do you resist?
We'll recover what was lost, from the signals we've been neglecting.
The shadows that reveal themselves in our dance are also whispering to us in our daily life.
We'll allow what wants to be felt and known to surface, safely. This isn't a catharsis-fest or pseudo-therapy. We'll only work with what feels workable, through dance, through supportive frameworks and clear facilitation.
We'll practice being resilient as well as receptive.
What is true is that the numinous, the w-holy, meaning what-makes-us-whole, or what gives us light and life, reveals itself in often mysterious and symbolic ways.
But we have to open to that.
Here, we'll practise doing that, in simple and repeatable ways, through the body.
We'll explore why tapping into our shadow body is more important than ever, in this tech-filled, capitalist world.
🍲 LUNCH will be provided (see below).
AFTERNOON
In the afternoon, we'll work with The Soul Body, exploring our poetry, divinity and purpose.
Many of us consult oracle cards or tarot for answers. We might go to friends or therapists for guidance.
Today, the body will be our oracle.
We'll dialogue with the inner world, through dance.
We'll move in ways that awaken both our active and our receptive imagination.
We'll practice listening to the symbols that want to dance through us, and the meaning that they hold for our lives.
We'll dance our own poetry.
Our hands and feet being the paintbrushes on the canvas of the dance floor.
We'll allow our soul's poetry to be witnessed, in its raw creativity and purity, and we'll be the loving witnesses for others.
We'll dance our divinity, into being.
We'll also explore dancing as a mandala, in harmony with our collective soul.
This is a space for your imagination and your divinity to be felt, witnessed and grown!
Why? Because how we embody our soul on the dance floor is also how we embody it in the world. Here is a safe space for exploring that.
We'll explore why creating with community, from the soul, is more important than ever, in order for humanity to survive in this turbulent world.
Over the whole day, we'll dance a richer, more-integrated version of ourselves.
These somatic tools are simple and easy to remember, so they can continue to help us long after this masterclass is over.
.
🌿 WHAT KIND OF DANCE IS THIS?
This workshop uses a combination of sacred somatics and organic dance, sometimes called 'conscious' dance. This is dance-as-medicine.
No choreography will be taught. It's about you listening to your body's impulses. Guidance given, if you're new to this.
We are dancing within a powerful framework called 𓆸 The Five Bodies 𐦞
.
🌿 WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
.
Expect a safe space where your body is treated like the temple that it is. We'll spend most of our time dancing or practising somatic exercises that open our different bodies (animal, relational, soul and shadow) and grow our capacity as dancers. We'll open and close sacred space, and regularly circle up or share in dyads.
.
🌿 WHAT WILL I TAKE AWAY?
You'll leave with powerful insights you can continue to play with and integrate into your dance practice.
You'll also receive two or three powerful practices to repeat at home, and a playlist you can keep dancing to.
.
🌿 WHAT ARE 'THE FIVE BODIES'?
I'll be introducing 𓆸 The Five Bodies School of Sacred Somatics 𐦞 and how this framework brings us fully alive!
