Medicine Dance: The Journey
Welcome to our Monthly Journey. A curated experience that is a bit different each time, weaving sacred ritual, creative modalities, somatic awareness and movement.
We begin with Soul Dance dance and then move into a guided process created by Allison called Emotion in Motion- where the individual and the collective meet. We move and dance our ancestral and our now, our epigenetic inheritance the ones we want to keep and the ones we want to unhook from. We move and dance our grief and our joy, our uncertainty and what we know in our bones.
The Dance is a path back into the wisdom of our bodies. It is a movement language and framework that recognizes the body holds memories, emotions, and experiences that can be accessed and processed through body awareness, movement, expression and communal connection in a trauma-informed container.
Through the dance we can move into concealed spaces, honoring and acknowledging all of our parts- to know and befriend them all. To welcome our parts out of exile and into new patterns and forms of expression and relating, that allow us to become the humans made for these times.
A guided improvisational movement practice that engages somatic awareness to facilitate personal growth, emotional well-being, and collective healing. Welcoming participants of all experience levels, bodies and identities. We dance to release stored tension, emotions and patterns. We dance to integrate our experiences and we dance to remember who we really are.
We enter in a cycle of movement that begins slow, builds in intensity, peaks, lightens, and then settles. Through verbal instructions, participants are invited to explore, in their own bodies way – a variety of movement patterns, physical inquiries, and focal points. The journey is curated to an intentional and eclectic world music soundscape. It is a journey where you might sweat (though you are always in control of your rhythm and pace)
We will engage in somatic practices to slow down, regulate our emotional, physical and mental landscapes and welcome balance, calm and deeper knowing. The Journey is a tool to help us navigate stress, anxiety, uncertainty and fear, while also celebrating life. It is an experience to come back HOME again and again to that which is real, that which is now and that which is eternal.
We will land and anchor with meditation and visualization, followed by our closing circle.
