One Tribe

 “We have a tendency to seek exotic answers and teachers while those we love, those who are making the journey with us, have exactly what we need. Together we can take refuge in rhythm. There is no dogma in the dance. Together we learn to dance on the skin of the great mother with our ears deeply tuned to her every whim.” – Gabrielle Roth

To be in groups, to belong to a community or tribe is more ancient experience for humans than being an individual. When we are born we don’t even know the difference between us and our mother. We have to learn the separation. We don’t have to learn the union, it’s already there. We just need the intention to lower the barriers which separate us.

Ecstatic dance is one of the most beautiful ways of being together. We bring ourselves in motion, we inspire each other to move, we share our stories without words. We tell more ancient tales to each other than what we can express with words. The group becomes a musical instrument, where everybody is playing their own tune, until we find the common harmony, creativity and joy.

LET IT BE

 “Piglet: “Pooh, how do you spell love?” 

Pooh: “You don’t spell it, you feel it.” A. A. Milne

In the same way our bodies are moving, our emotions are moving.

On this workshop we will open up and deepen our curiosity and fascination with the very movement of our emotions. And they move in mysterious ways…

We don’t feel linear, how we feel so often doesn’t make sense, or doesn’t meet ours or others expectations. As in Waves practice we sink deeper into the rhythms of our body, in Heartbeat practice we learn how to trust the flow and the beats of our hearts.

The invitation is to step out from the head and stand right next to our emotions, and hear and see and feel their personal, intimate and direct messages to us.

Relaxing into the wisdom of our body, and supported by all the Waves we have danced, we will move together through the teachings of our heart – how fear protects us, anger defends us, sadness releases us, joy uplifts us and compassion unites us.
