Advertisement
Come celebrate this turning of the wheel with the heart medicine of cacao, music & movement, at our last dance of 2024!
As we move into the winter months & the darkest time of the year
Let us gather together in this sacred container once more ,
To explore the shadowy parts of our story, and to release what’s calling to be expressed & let go of..
What’s asking to take shape & unfold ?
What stories want to be told ?
As we let go into the rhythm of our own movement ,
We can breathe life & lightness back into our bodies & our bones.
Magic awaits those that are open to receive it …
