THE WILDERNESS | Somatic Ecstatic Dance | Wānaka

Journey into THE WILDERNESS within this somatic dance.

Let yourself out of the cage and discover your wild side.

Into the deep dark undergrowth of the forest floor, the wide open plains, the tree tops, wild oceans and rich soil. We find our soft animal bodies and move with the earthy flow.

"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things."

- Mary Oliver

More About Somatic Dance:

Somatic dance is a dance journey of free-flow and facilitated movement by the rhythm of music and voices

We tune into the body and we start to become aware and connect with the sensations

It is an invitation to cultivate inner exploration to go beneath the layers of the mind we release any right or wrong way to dance. This is the creation of your own movement

This is a space to be explored & shared with your friends and also new souls that you don’t know yet!

Connect with others humans while dancing is a real fun way to communicate...

The recipe is simple: No booze, no shoes, great music, and an epic tribe come together to dance. Don't worry about steps or form or how you look, it's not that kind of dance.

WE HAVE COME TO BE DANCED.
