*****What is Dancing Freedom?*****

Dancing Freedom is a conscious dance practice, a moving meditation practice with the intention of aligning life with love and awareness - living consciously! A free-form dance practice that blends the medicine of dance with the medicine of ceremony and co-creation. Dancing freedom takes you on a guided dance journey through an elemental wave of Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether - deepening your connection to life and living.
In the dance you are invited to explore an authentic way of moving - a creative expression of your unique being. There is only one rule in Dancing Freedom - you can't do it wrong! In the process of dance we can become a free flow of energy, moving into oneness, beyond the mind, personality and ego, where there is an opportunity to awaken the spirit.
Conscious dance provides an opportunity to release physical tension and pain, to unwind energy which may be trapped in the body, to express held emotions or sounds, to play like a child, to connect with others on the dance floor, to have FUN and to remember that you LOVE to dance! 💃
.
“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: "When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?” Gabrielle Roth - Founder of 5 Rhythms Dance

***** HEART MEDICINE *****

A Dancing Freedom practice is created around a theme to weave the magic of awareness and intention for a transformative experience. The theme for this practice is 'Heart Medicine' opening the heart through the magic of music, movement and sound healing.
This is a very special event to mark the beginning of our Conscious Dance Southern Highlands Dancing year. We will have Geeti and Gyan coming from Sydney to offer deep heart connection through their music and sound healing, this is an opportunity for connection, unity, love and community.
