A Path Back Into the Wisdom of Your Body
August
Date: Saturdays 1, 8, 15, 22
Time: 2:00-3:30
SoulDance™ ultimately is sacred ritual dance. In the form of a guided improvisational movement practice that engages somatic awareness expression, the movement of stored and pent up energy and directing all of that towards integration and coherence. It is a practice to facilitate personal growth, emotional well-being, connectivity and collective healing.
Through the dance we can move into concealed spaces and bring forth a more integrated self—one that honors all of our parts and allows us to remember who we really are. It is a dance of deep embodied connection, knowing, remembering and homecoming.
There is no choreography or mirrors. Allison guides you, offering cues that allow you to deepen your exploration and move through a cohesive journey. Allison is spirit guided (science backed) and allows what needs to come through each dance be a place where together, we get to dance into that unified field. Soul Dance is a soul retrieval, an ancestral and earth honoring, a re-cognizing of our ancient birthright and sometimes just a downright good ol’ fun dance!
It is in the wheelhouse of things like the original ecstatic dance, 5Rhythms, Authentic Movement- but not that. Soul Dance is it’s own thing, created out of three decades of trainings, global creative, healing and cultural immersions and 35 years of a professional life in theatre. It includes the teachings of my own lived spiritual and healing path. Along with decades of professional training, certifications, study and work in the fields of trauma, somatic and ancient healing systems.
Music is central, ear plugs are provided for those who want.
Welcoming participants of all experience levels, bodies and identities. This is a trauma-aware container.
The Experience
We enter in a cycle of movement that begins slow, builds in intensity, peaks, lightens, and then settles. Through verbal instructions, participants are invited to explore, in their own body’s way, a variety of movement patterns, physical inquiries, and focal points.
The journey is curated to an intentional and eclectic world music soundscape. It is a journey where you might sweat (though you are always in control of your rhythm and pace). This class allows you to engage with the wisdom of your own body, to take you on a journey.
We dance to expand and evolve our embodied wisdom. We dance to release stored tension, emotions and patterns. We dance to re-pattern, re-integrate and remember who we really are.
