What a year we’ve all had!
Disruptive, confronting, relentless..
We’ve been thrown back on our inner resources
As we’ve done our best to muddle through
And without access to all our usual networks of practice and support
There were things we couldn’t process at the time
Situations and feelings that we did our best with
But which have left an imprint in our hearts
As we come back together
Hungry for the company and support of other bodies on the dancefloor
Let’s turn our attention to our heart
And give the feelings inside the space to move and be acknowledged
We’ll explore the tremble of our fear, the stomp of our anger, the judder of our sadness, and the leap of our joy ~
Creating pathways in the body for each to move through us simply and easily.
And then we’ll look beyond these flavours
For the qualities that will allow us to reclaim our heart’s natural vitality and grace ~
Courage, forgiveness, trust, innocence, and love
Dancing together we will renew our relationship with our heart
Make friends with emotion
Cultivate the spaciousness to watch all feelings come and go
And weave our hearts into a deeper wholeness
This Ongoing Group will meet six times over six weekends, beginning in November and ending in April 2022.
Each time we meet we will dance with one of the primary emotions, and the quality that helps us keep it company with dignity and ease.
Dancing at a deep level through the year with the same group of companions is both powerful and healing. There is space for trust and friendship to grow, and challenge to be real and true. We will have time for words to share our process, for witnessing, and for individual support; and lots and lots of time to dance.
Between meetings there will be space to integrate and practice what we find, as we ground the experiences we have back in our daily lives.
Six months of dance, inspiration, friendship, and support ~ a space to renew our hearts, with kindness, discipline, and joy!
