Summer Solstice - Somatic Dance & Ritual
Event description
The Summer Solstice is a time to reflect on your personal growth, gratitude and the meaning of the season of light and expansion. This is the moment of our year when there is the most light available to us. In terms of consciousness, it is when we are the most present to ourselves and who we know ourselves to be — the Sun represents the light of all life and consciousness. Seeds are planted in the Earth as well as the seeds of our souls. It’s a time of renewal and abundance, a time of love and expansion, as the summer sun unfolds the leaves on the trees, so can our hearts open to receive the light of source to illuminate that which is within each of us.
Join me for an evening of embodied dance, connection and ritual to celebrate LIFE.

Freedom
Somatic Dance is a guided free form embodied movement journey, held in a non-judgmental space where all of you is welcome.
No prior dance experience is necessary and all bodies are welcome.
Come and move your body to the rhythm of your soul, ready to deepen your connection with yourself and others.
The guidelines are simple: No booze (or intoxicants), or talking in the dance.
Slip deep into the layers of your body, supported by a carefully chosen epic music and a beautiful group of humans.
Fully embody your truest expression, release debris and allow movement to show you your fullness.
Wear clothes you are comfortable moving in (layers are great), bring a drink bottle and a drop or two of curiosity!
See you on the dance floor for the most epic way to start your day and leave the dirt behind
