Do you ever avoid talking about the elephant in the room?
Well, I’m not going to do that today. The fact is, we are one big global family, and some of our kinfolk are wrapped up in a big ruckus right now that we can’t ignore.
We invite you to immerse into the journey of 5rhythms dance, gong bath and cacao ceremony. Experience the full moon in a transformative evening of?ceremonial cacao, therapeutic dance, visual art and healing sounds
Nous commencerons ce stage en libérant l’énergie de vie de notre corps physique et en accueillant nos mouvements physiques. Nous continuerons ensuite en libérant l’énergie de vie de notre corps émotionnel, de notre cœur et en accueillant nos mouvements émotionnels.
Life is full of unexpected surprises. Who would have imagined that after so long we would still be using masks and keeping social distance. Many of those magical places where we meet to heal through dance and meditation are still or again paused. Now more than ever we need to dance and celebrate life, as this will help us to find ground under our feet, get in touch with ourselves, and light a spark in our hearts. Therefore, we are bringing a mini edition of the Conscious Dance Festival back to your living room.
Saturday – Sunday, February 26-27, 10:30AM – 5:30PM GMT | £165.00 – £200.00

This week’s Dance First Member Insight is from Karina Pais!
Since I was a little girl, I remember always being drawn to dancing.
It was my way of expressing something more profound than the words I
could pronounce at that early age. I felt so connected with dancing that
I thought that was what I wanted to do: to be a dancer. I did not know
if I would fit the average standards of a ballerina or any other type of
dancer. I just knew that was what I loved, and when I started asking
around, at some point, I was told that was not possible for me since I
had flat feet.
I must have been around seven or eight years old, and it was a turning
point in my childhood. I knew I had this need to express myself
creatively, and since dance was out of the question, I turned to fine
arts. That became my life. I am now an artist. I have the life of such,
with the art projects, the exhibits, the artwork, but I never stopped
dancing. Why? Because that has always been the quickest and truest way
to express myself and to connect deeply inside.
“ Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.
Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired
by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
Do you ever get so busy you forget what you’re doing?
Sometimes you can see it in another person‘s face. Just the other day I was in the office of someone I work with and I said “You look like you’re trying to fit 6 pounds of oranges in a 5 pound bag!”

This week’s Dance First Member Insight is from Nine Mountain Retreat!
Who We Are
Nine Mountain was built about 30 years ago by the creative community of Earthdance Creative Living Project, a radical collaborative of improvisers, makers and artists. The unique, towering post-and-beam building was originally designed to be a shared home for members of the collective. They built the house together, using trees harvested from the land. Nine Mountain served as a community house for families, couples and individuals for its first 3 years.

What is there to say about love that hasn’t been said? It makes the world go round, it’s a many splendored thing, it’s the force that holds the universe together.
There’s love for yourself. There’s love for another person. There’s universal love and love for humanity.
There’s love for the new flavor of ice cream and there’s love that sets ships sailing across the sea. Einstein once said, “You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.”
This training is both personal and professional development. It is perfect for those wanting to go deeper in their own personal healing journey AND for those that would like to hold space for others and share their passion.
We get lost in habitual thinking. Familiar narratives unconsciously replaying themselves while we hold our breath tightening and constricting the life force, and so separating from our true nature. This disconnection doesn’t feel good…Through movement, dance and sitting meditation we can find vitality, spaciousness, and light in everything that arises. Doing this we regain our own inherent kindness, renewing the relationship with our heart and basic nature.

This week’s Dance First Member Insight is from Kelsay Meyers and Dialogical Persona!
I founded Dialogical Persona Healing Arts, LLC on February 24, 2020, to serve those unfolding in their lives and relationships. I offered Soul-based Coaching, transformative inquiry, and energy work while finishing my doctoral program, practitioner training, and personal embodiment process. Little did I know that an international pandemic would change the world in a matter of weeks and lead to many people needing online support through the embodied arts. In the past two years, my business, skills, embodied practice, and personal growth has flourished.
Have you ever thought about what your music says about you? What’s the over-arching vibe of each genre you choose? How does music transcend language?
Some evolutionists think that our capacity to sing and make music came before we humans learned to talk. It makes sense when you think about nature and how everything in the natural world has a rhythm or a cycle to it.
5 Wednesdays, March 2-30 | 9am-10:45am PST | $95 for the series

From a physiological perspective the human heart is an organ central to the circulatory system. From an archetypal perspective the human heart is an organ central to our imagination, intellect, and aesthetic sensitivity. The intention for this 5-week series is to explore, express, embody, and bridge into your life, the wisdom of your own heart.
4 Thursdays: Mar 3, Mar 10, Mar 17, Mar 31 | 10-11:30am PST | $65/series
Each part of our bodies is unique: each has developed specific functions, moves in particular ways, and has its own stories to tell and dances to dance. In this series, we focus on a new area of the body each week. For each body part, we study anatomy and body mechanics, we explore its movement somatically, and we allow its wisdom to express through drawing, creative writing, and dance. By exploring our anatomy experientially and artistically, we connect more deeply with our bodies, creativity, and lived experience.
Monthly Live Online Workshop
February 27, Sunday, @10am-12pm PT | 6-8pm UTC
Dance to feel the joy of being ALIVE, uplift yourself and raise your frequency. Our aim is to create inner and outer harmony: in ourselves, in our relationship with the Earth, with Spirit and with one another through guided and free-style dance, conscious movement, and meditation.
