Movement Medicine Re:Evolution Dance Journey with the Elements
Welcome to this Autumn series of four Movement Medicine Re:Evolution Dance journeys in October and November. The focus will be on deepening our relationship with the elements to support and nourish us as we move towards winter. Also, to help us honour the elemental forces of nature within and around us and find ways to connect with them in movement.
10am to 12.30pm ~ 19th of October ~ Earth
10am to 12.30pm ~ 2nd of November ~ Fire
10am to 12.30pm ~ 16th of November ~ Water
10am to 12.30pm ~ 30th of November ~ Air
My Movement Medicine journeys are called Re:Evolution Dance as this offering has grown out of my deep awareness of where we are as a species and the huge potential and responsibility that comes with waking up to our power to either serve or destroy life on Earth.
In a world where we are generally telling our bodies what to do, it is a revolutionary act to be guided by the intelligence of our body. In my understanding, this is the same practice that we need to embody for our relationship to the Earth we live on.
To truly listen to the needs of the Earth and our body, rather than constantly demanding for our needs to be met. This is the Re:Evolution! This is the Evolution Revolution! This is the power of the dance!
The fundamental practice of Movement Medicine is to Awaken the Dancer. To awaken the dancer involves bringing awareness and attention through movement, to our body, heart, and mind. It is a very simple yet profound practice. Essentially this is why its called intentional movement as we are bringing our consciousness into our body, by being aware of our moving body.
As an intentional movement practice, this in essence means:
You are held in a safe space.
You dance with bare feet or suitable footwear.
There are free times for speaking at the beginning and end, as well as in the sharing circle but here is no talking/socialising within the dance journey itself.
There are simple guided facilitation and plenty of word-free time for you to journey with whatever's moving for you.
If you are not familiar with this practice, then I encourage you to be in touch and find out more. This class is not about moving or dancing in a certain way, its about you exploring and meeting more of who you are in relation to the world, both inside and out.
These classes can be attended as one-offs but you are encouraged to join for the whole series if possible.
Each class runs from 10am to 12.30pm. They begin with an informal arrival time for you to land in your own way. There is then an opening circle, with a brief introduction to each other and the practice. We then move into the Awakening the Dancer practice and then the focus shifts to the element were moving with.
Each session costs £10 on the door or to attend all four sessions it's £32 if paid in advance from Brown Paper Tickets:
