TENDER TERRAIN

What happens when we can't move like we used to? 

When our bodies call for slowing, softening, and reimagining the way we dance?

This 4 month program is designed specifically for those navigating physical limitations, temporary or chronic, visible or invisible. Whether you're healing from a recent injury, navigating chronic pain, aging, pregnancy, the journey to menopause, or tending to long-held wounds, TENDER TERRAIN offers a compassionate and supportive space to move, feel, and reconnect. 

Rather than pushing through pain or retreating from the dance entirely, we learn to listen more deeply to the messages of the body. 

Our changing body becomes a wise guide, asking us to move slower, with more intention, with more curiosity. 

In these sessions, you are encouraged to let go of how it should look and lean into how it truly feels.

Through online Zoom sessions, facilitated playlists, and writing prompts, you’ll be gently invited to explore how your changing body can become a teacher. With each beat and breath, you’ll uncover new ways to express, adapt, and listen to the quiet wisdom within, navigating emotional landscapes through movement and mindfulness.

• Four recorded curated movement sets with verbal facilitation by Shauna

 • One 1:1 Embodiment Coaching Session 

This is for all bodies navigating the tender terrain of change, this is a space to move with what is, and to discover what’s still possible. Whether you are long time dancer or new to conscious dance, this is an invitation to explore how it is to live and dance with a change in our body.

Together, we reimagine what it means to move, to participate, to belong.

 Together, we learn to navigate the dance floor—and life itself—in new and compassionate ways.

Come as you are. 

Move as you can. 

Discover how much is still possible.

This journey invites you to honour your resilience, your story, and your body's ever-evolving truth.

Uncover

 Uncover is a three-day Dance Medicine and Embodiment Immersion.

Step into a transformative journey where movement meets ancient wisdom. This workshop combines the powerful tools of conscious dance and shamanic practices to guide you on a path of self-discovery, healing, and connection to your true essence.

The teachings of the 5Rhythms® movement practice and Inner Journeys will support you in accessing a deep state of embodiment, allowing your body to express itself freely and authentically. Movement combined with breathwork becomes a language of the soul, releasing blockages, reconnecting you with your inner wisdom, and fostering a sense of vitality and presence.

Shamanic practices and simple rituals provide a sacred framework to navigate the unseen realms of consciousness. You will journey inward as well as into heart-centered community connection, uncovering layers of your being and opening towards the mystery of your life. The body does not lie and holds the library of our stories, including those of our ancestors.

Through this weekend immersion we will be gathering keys and tools, building us towards our Sunday movement ceremony where we will offer an embodied prayer for ourselves and all our relations.

Together, these modalities create a powerful alchemy that supports you in:

Uncover Your Essence: Let go of societal masks and rediscover the authentic self that lies within.

Create Wholeness: Release emotional, physical, and energetic blockages, opening pathways for transformation.

Find Alignment: Reconnect with your soul's purpose and live with greater harmony and intention.

This workshop is for anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves, a sense of freedom, and a path to healing. No prior experience in dance or shamanic work is required—just an open heart and a willingness to explore.

We look forward to embarking on this journey with you.

Please note that the workshop offers 6 hours of 5Rhythms WAVES practice and other embodiment tools.
