Embodied Dance Journey through the 5 Elements - 5 week Women's Circle with Sara-Jane Cleland Dancing Freedom Facilitator

Tuesday nights for 5 consecutive weeks

14th May - 11th June

6.30pm to 8.30pm

We will journey together through the 5 elements - EARTH, WATER, FIRE, AIR and ETHER. Each week we will focus on one element, to deepen your connection and explore your relationship to that element and the corresponding energy center in your body. We will start with a meditation, then a women's sharing circle, a dancing freedom embodiment journey and finish with a closing circle.

This is an opportunity to experience the magic of a women's circle woven with the embodiment practice of Dancing Freedom. To come together in community, to co-create a healing space and support each other as Women. To connect deeply to your authentic self and emerge as your whole loving being.

*Women Only Workshop*

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

Dancing Freedom is a conscious dance practice to support living in oneness with ourselves, each other, the earth and the cosmos. A free-form somatic 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.

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 free movement with the structure of a wave pattern, it is possible to become a free flow of energy, moving into oneness, beyond the mind, personality and ego, to drop deeply into presence.

Conscious dance provides an opportunity to release physical tension and pain, to free energy in the body, to express emotions and sounds, to connect with others, to play 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
