Dancing awakens us to the fact that we are alive. It ignites joy, brings medicine into the cells of our being and helps us metabolise what we’re living through. On the dancefloor we remember who we are and what we offer to the world.
What is it to be a dancer?
To really dance, feel the music and open to the amazing and vast experience of body-spirit consciousness?
How do we do that, on the dancefloor and in our everyday lives?
The Way of the Dancer is an invitation to dance deep and explore ecstatic movement as a meditation practice for our times. We will learn core practices from 5Rhythms and Movement Medicine, exploring how they help and inspire us to connect – with ourselves, each other and the wider fields of community and world. We will move through a dancing ceremony to give thanks for life.
Who is a dancer? Anybody and everybody. We all move. We all live in bodies capable of extraordinary things. Everyone is a dancer, and if we’re paying attention, all of life is a dance.
“If you have a body you are a dancer.” – Gabrielle Roth
