Dancing with Grief, Drenched in Love

A Spring SoulDance Series honoring all the heart holds

Tuesday evenings in March & April

In Person in St. Louis, MO

As spring dawns, we breathe a sigh of relief that winter is melting and the days are warming. We expand into the joy the season brings, and we might also feel a thawing of the griefs we’ve held this year. Spring reminds us anew of all we’ve been through , and all our hearts hold.

Making our way through the multidimensionality and complexity of life belongs to the territory of the heart, no matter how much we might try to think our way through. As Alice Walker says, “hard times require furious dancing.” To process and navigate through these times that are upon us, asking for the very depths of our full humanity, we need our entire selves– heart, body, soul and mind.

In this 7-week series, we’ll invite in the unique dance of the heart, that place in the body where the energies of grief and love both live. Together, we will dance our way into greater intimacy with our own human heart, One with the Heart of Life. Following the body’s Wisdom Way we remember what it really means to be human in these times– constantly dancing with the griefs of a changing world, drenched completely in the Love that never ends.

In each of our 7 sessions over the course of 7 weeks we’ll touch into the 7 movements of the Evolve Ecstatic Dance spiral– Enter, Explore, Engage, Expand, Evolve, Emerge and End. We’ll let these organic movements, the wisdom of the body and the medicine of music lead us on a journey of embodied soul evolution.

What’s Evolve Ecstatic Dance?

Evolve Ecstatic Dance is a style of free-form, conscious dance. This means 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. 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!

Thanks for dancing with us! I’m Erin

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, doula, theAlogian and writer, exploring all the ways the Divine Feminine is coming into being in new ways now, in our time.
