SUMMER SOLSTICE

This is a time of blossom and celebration ! Let’s celebrate life and it’s all colours, the light of the Sun and within ! Let’s ignite the inner fire to fully incarnate in our bodies, in our hearts, in our minds. 

It is a time to awaken the wild dancer and gather in community. With the support of the beautiful heart expanding medicine CACAO we will ride the waves of the music, guided by the mysterious choreography of our sacred bodies, hearts, minds and breath.

With an eclectic medicine bag of Movement Medicine tools and teachings on offer we invite you to root deeply, dance wildly and resource yourself in these unprecedented times we are living through on our beautiful Mother Earth. There is an abundance of energy available to us when we remember we are elemental beings intrinsically interconnected through the web of life.

Keef and Aluna will encourage you with poetic inspiration and rhythmic soul food and serve up an eclectic mix of tribal-rhythms, indigenous-inspirations, songs, mantras, drums and rattle.

MOVEMENT MEDICINE is "Contemporary Shamanism through Movement to Change the Dream of the Modern World. It is a creative, embodied meditation practice for our times. It is rooted in ancient wisdom and modern understanding of how change happens. Its intention is to help you to access more of the physical and emotional intelligence that’s inside you through bringing awareness to the way you move, feel and think. Whatever your level of experience, age or condition, conscious movement practice is a force for creative expression and mindfulness in day to day life. Movement Medicine is an invitation for personal empowerment in the context of community. Our experience has shown us that genuine contentment comes from knowing who you are and making your contribution to life in a way that is meaningful to you. Our work is devoted to supporting you on that journey. Often, all it takes is a little encouragement to feel the music, get moving and trust the dance that’s inside you.”

WHY DANCE?

Dance connects us with our bodies, hearts and minds and with each other. The freedom of dance shatters the binds of “should” and “shouldn’ts” that squeeze the juice from life. As an active meditation, dance cuts through the noise of the mind. It helps us to find a sense of peace and a greater connection to the highest place of our own inspiration.

MOVEMENT AS MEDITATION

Through our dance practice, our patterns come to light and by becoming conscious of them, we can begin to explore new possibilities. The life of the dance starts to inform the dance of our life.It’s where movement, meditation and energy converge. And movement becomes medicine.
