Dancing Freedom
An embodied spiritual dance practice
Dancing Freedom is an embodied spiritual practice you can work with for the rest of your life. Our curriculum is designed to support optimal learning, depth of embodiment, and to give you the tools and support you need to take this potent practice and modern day ceremony for transforming lives into your community.
Dance is one of the simplest, most accessible and delightful ways to help people wake up to who they are, to connect intimately with themselves and others, to reunite with the earth and nature, and to heal personal and collective pain and trauma.
The world is ready for dance. People from all walks of life are discovering conscious movement as a fun, effective spiritual and fitness practice. It’s an excellent way to expand your personal toolbox while doing what you love.
Dancing Freedom™ is a way of life. Through the body, the practice invites alignment with what is alive and moving in & around you – your feelings and emotions, your soul, your purpose, your community, nature, All of Your Relations and Source.
We practice meeting and responding to change, challenge, the heights of ecstasy, the depths of grief and vulnerability with authenticity and grace. Thus, we empower our capacity to fully LOVE and vibrantly LIVE. Our liberation is found by dancing deeper into our lives.
Dancing Freedom™ is a practical, adaptable practice and toolbox that can be used as a stand-alone offering or embedded within other offerings, events, institutions, organisations and curriculum. We offer a set of embodied tools and a mapping of universal principles that effectively support awakening, healthy intimacy, soul empowerment, vibrant health and deeper earth connection for people from all walks of life.
Becoming a facilitator is an invitation to step into your liberated, luminous, mature and deeply skilled leadership to be an agent of change and creation in the world.
