~SoulFire~

What burns within you? What waits, seeking kindling, seeking fuel, seeking permission to flame into fire? Maybe it’s anger within. Maybe it’s passion. Maybe it’s a longing to burn away what’s no longer needed so you can become who you are– truly and totally.

Fire teaches us to burn. It is transformative alchemy. And it lives in all of us, as digestive fire and our basal body temperature keeping us healthy and vibrant. It also lives in our souls and emotional lives, constantly calling us to burn, to shed, to transform, to become.

This summer, I invite you to turn towards the power of your own inner fire. We’ll dance our way into this honoring, into the unveiling of what burns, and into its most potent expression– the body’s way.

In this 3-session series of SoulFull ecstatic dance, we will move, we will burn, we will reflect and share together, we will create and write and ritualize all the ways we burn– as individuals and as a collective.

What dance form is this?

Soul Dance is a form of conscious, or ecstatic dance. It is the way we were made to move-- freely, joyfully, wondrously, as ourselves, in ourselves, in community. It's exactly what it needs to be for you-- stretchy and big, contained and close, leaping and loud, tender and true. It can be weird and often makes no sense-- following the wisdom of the body in the dance brings us to a place where words aren't necessary or needed, where we get to just BE and FREE all the movements that live inside of us, beyond and bigger than any words. We shed what we no longer need to carry naturally, and we embody the freedom of ecstasy, our birthright as human BEings. Moving this way has a profound healing effect on the body wHoly being-- connecting us to ourselves, and to one another in authentic presence. No prior dance experience of any kind is needed. All bodies and everybody is welcome!

What do I need to know?

Please come wearing comfortable clothes in layers that you can add or shed. People commonly dance barefoot, but do what’s comfortable for you! Make sure you have plenty of space, no rugs nearby to slip on and nothing you might run into. ;) Make sure the sound is working well, and have some water handy.
