Dhamma Dance - Oct 31

For people craving a deeper connection to their body, their practice, and a sense of real community.

Dhamma Dance is an embodied mindfulness practice that blends authentic movement, meditation, and the living wisdom of the Buddha’s teachings.

It’s a space to slow down, listen deeply, and return to the body.

Through gentle guidance and open movement, we explore what it means to be human. The stillness and the wildness, the grief and the joy, allowing each to move and unfold in its own way.

Rooted in kindness and deep listening, this practice offers something increasingly rare: a space to move honestly, to be witnessed, and to reconnect with yourself and others.

You don’t have to know how to dance.
You don’t have to be flexible.
You don’t have to be “spiritual enough.”

You simply need a body and a willingness to listen.

Many people come on their own, and it’s completely natural to feel a little unsure at first. You are welcome exactly as you are, on whatever day you arrive.

All bodies, backgrounds, and identities are warmly welcome.

Come move and be moved.

What it looks like:

• Gentle, guided warm-up to settle into your body

• Facilitated authentic movement practice

• Embodied Dharma reflections and meditation

• Creative integration (art, journaling, shared reflection)

• Optional swim in the pool afterwards + BYO lunch
