Your SoulFire is sacred— your passion, your anger, your determination, your conviction, your spicy humor, your bright and brilliant beauty—your true Self. The world needs us well-lit and blazing! Summer Solstice is a potent time to honor the fires within, as we are called into being by the brightest of days, the fullness of the sun, and the heat surrounding us.
Peoples all over the world will honor this turning of the season in the Northern Hemisphere with bonfires, festivals and food, revering the fullness of the sun and it’s power to fuel our life. As human beings, we hold the sun’s fire within us as well, in our solar plexus energy center. In the dance, we’ll stoke these fires. We’ll honor what is real here, what might be painful, and what wants more space to burn. Enter the dance as you are, Explore its contours, Engage what’s here, Expand your edges, Evolve your self, Emerge anew and End in a completion that sets you on some new shore. The dance honors our nervous systems with gentle beginning and ending, and together we create safe, sacred space to become more fully human. Join us!

What’s SoulDance?
SoulDance is a style of free-form, conscious dance born from Erin’s 22+ years of moving in this way! In the safe, sacred container that is SoulDance, you get to move however you want to, however the music, energy and community move you! You cannot do it wrong. You will be held in loving, accepting space, and gently guided to drop into your own body’s wisdom. SoulDance engages the movement form of Evolve Ecstatic Dance (also developed by Erin). The Evolve Arc follows 7 organic movements that will open you more and more into the energies in motion— Enter, Explore, Engage, Expand, Evolve, Emerge and End. When we drop into the body’s inherent wisdom and joy in motion, so much can happen! We release, we process, we have fun, we gain clarity and insight, we connect, and we heal in ways that are beyond words. No prior dance experience of any kind is needed. Your body and your soul, held in community, know the Way!
Hi! I’m Erin. I’m so glad you’re hearing the call to dance!
I’m a movement minister, midwife of the Soul and priestess of the Divine Mother Love. My world opened expansively when I began dancing authentically over twenty years ago. Since then, I have pursued the dance in myself and all over the world, studying with teachers of the 5 Rhythms, Dancing Freedom, Open Floor, Soul Motion, Contemplative Dance and other modalities. Dance is by far my favorite way to pray and practice this being human. I especially love dancing in community and cultivating community of liberated beings, dancing into joy and healing. I’m also a spiritual innovator, embodied soul care practitioner, doula, theAlogian and writer, exploring all the ways the Divine Feminine is coming into being in new ways now, in our time.
