Event description

Be part of a very special weekend out on Taungurung Country, 1.5 hrs out of Melbourne.

Dance Camps are a, intimate space for you to slow down, listen to your body and the body of the land. Connect with yourself and connect with Country.

This weekend is an invitation to explore what decolonising your own dance and own body feels like. 

Jem will be offering Wayapa & Deep Listening Practices. As well as circling us up to talk about how our connection to body and place has been colonised and how we can restore balance.

Jem Stone is a First Nations Woman, Educator and Wellness Practitioner who is passionately integrating traditional wisdom into education and wellness spaces through connection and decolonised learning methods. Working in the wellness industry for over twenty years, Jem arrived in healing spaces through her own personal healing journey and continues to walk her healing path and dedicates much of her time learning from Elders and other cultural teachers. Wayapa® Wuurrk is first internationally accredited Aboriginal wellness modality, an earth connection practice that is based on ancient Indigenous wisdom that focuses on taking care of the Earth as the starting point for creating Earth Mind Body Spirit well-being. Wayapa translates to ‘Connection’, Wuurrk translates to “Earth”.

Rivka will be offering Ecosomatic Movement and Dance that brings us into deeper relationship with the body/nature connection
