Full Moon| Free Flow ~ Conscious Dance for Women
Event description
Freeflow Conscious Dance for Women.
About the Dance ~
♡ A safe space for women* to shed, release, renew.
♡ To move like no one is watching, to dance your inner feelings and express through your body.
♡ In our dance there is no choreography, no right or wrong. Your dance, your way...
♡ We set our intention at the opening of each dance and share the floor with reverence and respect for our dance and each other in a drug & alcohol free space.
♡ Let the music guide you.
Each time you dance will be unique, bringing with it your experiences, feelings and emotions. As we dance we explore, uncover, release.
The dance may be joyful, but it may also bring up feelings of grief, sadness and many different emotions. We bring our human-ness and welcome it all with open hearts. No judgement, no shame.
♡ To close each session, we join in circle and breath together in silence.
A shared experience of individual expression. There is great beauty and depth in the union of body, mind, spirit and community.
♡ Age 16+. No children. This is a space for women to release and restore. Mothers with babes- in -arms or baby wearing please contact me to discuss suitability.
*A safe space for all women and non-binary folk comfortable in a female centred space
♡ Come and share the dance with us! ♡
