THE WORKSHOP

~ Spring offers us the opportunity to tap into an all powerful life force that brings nature into expression. Saying yes to this energy through the medium of movement means creating new pathways through our psyche and soma which in turn allow us to grow in accordance with our highest wishes.

~ We will spend five days together journeying with this theme through DANCE, SOMATIC MOVEMENT & MEDITATION in the stunning setting of our recently developed centre Sambogaya. Our underfloor heated semi sprung movement studio will contain our work & between sessions we will enjoy the beauty of our surrounds including our spa, outdoor seating temple, zen garden, ritual bathing pool & more.

~ Along with dancing we will bathe in the tub, shed skins in the sauna, offer prayers to the fire for our personal & collective transformation, take a dip in the sacred spring (optional!) and enjoy delicious wholesome meals together.

THE FACILITATORS

~ FRANCIS: "Dancing to great music in a beautiful & safe environment taps me into the freedom that is my true nature. I've spent much of my life developing a myriad of ways to guide people into an experiential understanding of this freedom as our birthright. I developed Sambogaya as a vehicle for our collective work to evolve & its beauty will inspire you. I trained with Gabrielle Roth back in 2004 & have been leading 5Rhythms classes & workshops nationwide ever since." www.awakenedpresence.org

~ BLANCHE: “I love sharing my passion for embodied movement and nature-based meditation. I’m a Somatic Movement facilitator, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (body-based trauma therapist) and bodyworker with my private practice Somatic Alchemy. I am an experienced facilitator, guiding individuals and groups to explore creative organic movement for healing and connection." www.somatic-alchemy.co.uk
