Freedom

As known by spirit

Freedom, already known by the Spirit, is revealed to our bodies and our psyche one moment, one act, one breath, one dance, at a time. The knowledge of Freedom is a body-based experience. It strengthens as out practice deepens. With the Body as the conduit, the Infinite manifests this vast, extraordinary dance called life. Through practice, states based experience grounds into traits of being. Therefore, to dance consciously as individuals, as community, as manifestations of the divine is to embody Freedom: to be and become what we are already. As freedom activates through us, it reflects back out into the world through our dancing, our breathing, our creating, our relating and our NOW being-ness.

Dancing Freedom Engages Every Part of You.

Because it is an active process, engaging body, mind, emotions and the relational field in real time and space, DANCING FREEDOM bridges the space of “practice” with the moment to moment dance of life. Our dances reveal the non-separation between body, soul and spirit and give us the opportunity to be Spirit as body. The practice integrates self care, emotional clearing and and soul-empowerment with the dance of Union with the Divine.

the unfolding of the NOW of our lives

We work and play with functional physical, emotional and communication tools to empower PeaceBody: the body we live in when human, animal and spirit live comfortably together inside our skins. By welcoming all of the Selves: the personal and the transpersonal, the animal and angel, the sacred and the profane, the physical and the energetic, and the many, many aspects of psyche and mind, we enter into the Dance of SELF.

In this dance, the Spirit within us (Self) has space to flower and become the primary animating principle of our lives. Honoring all and getting to know and love our cell-ves, we relax into a larger sense of beingess and are empowered as graceful participants in…

Dance

As A Prayer

Dancing Freedom Practices work with present tense prayer. In this modality of prayer Body, Heart and Mind are all invited to play together in unison to resonate the only prayer that really works: the one that already IS. This way of Praying is not new, it is held in most of the ecstatic wisdom paths of the ages including the Sufi Path of Ecstatic Union. This way is of praying in the present tense, AS THOUGH WHAT WE ARE PRAYING IS ALREADY HAPPENING, is what Gregg Braden calls “The Lost Language of Prayer.” We rededicate to this true language of prayer in our dancing.

Dancing Freedom is a Living Lineage.

Dancing Freedom is a living lineage of embodied awakening. It has broad and deep foundations in a vibrant mandala of ancient Wisdom Paths: Western Mysticism, Buddhism, Vedic Yoga, the Essene Way, Deep Ecology, Archetypal and Somatic Psychology, The Path of Reiki, Classical Tantra, Somatics, Cross-Cultural Dance, Chi Kung, Native American Shamanism and The New Age. It offers up something NEW in the synthesis of the living mysteries: the process and practice of living into the mysteries through a body

AMAZING GRACE

DANCE JOURNEY GIFT

Amazing Grace is a guided Dancing Freedom journey through the elements. It is a somatic, ecstatic and shamanic dance practice that supports the re-emergence of embodied wholeness. We dance an elemental wave, tapping into the fundamental building blocks that we are made of: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether, creating a safe space for your true self to experience full bodied expression.

In this movement practice, we dance in ceremony; we give ourselves permission to enter the mythic, to work with our intent and welcome our felt senses to weave a new reality for ourselves and all our relations.
