ONLINE ZOOM WORKSHOPS:
EMOTIONS AND DANCE

Tuesday February 4th 11-1pm eastern time zone:

In this workshop we’ll go into the archetypes from an emotional expression point of view… and explore feelings. What are they? How do you feel them? How do they want you to move?

From both an authentic movement practice and from playing with them to get them mobilizing…. We will explore the gifts and feel of anger, longing, independence, soulful, spiritual, jealous, irritated, joy, attracted, repulsed, peaceful and more.

Learn thru this practice the gift of regularly connecting to your heart to move thru feelings, notice which are egoic reactions to old stories and how to move with them versus become them….and connect to your Self ….for soul connection to self and self love.

It’s very common to close off the heart from past pain or turn to others to find out how we feel only to realize we’ve lost our self.

From an artistic point of view this will open up dance to all kinds of music and give you tools to practice deeper embodiment and ways to understand others and develop empathy and compassion.

The heart is so intelligent and yet feelings can easily become “too much”…. It’s thru deep listening and learning to not be overtaken by them…. Rather to “know thyself” so well that it’s an inner guidance like a North Star. Follow your he-art and create life like a dance … breath by breath….. keeping your heart open thru dance.

We will use the Wednesday link on website . $25 reach out if you’d like to join and have financial hardship.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS IN SARASOTA FLORIDA:

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 2nd A DANCE IN NATURE :

Join Kelly (aka dj kat😻) for a small group adventure at Myakka Park. It’s a Celtic holiday of Imbolc, a celebration of upcoming spring. Let’s silently walk into the woods ( fox trail lower) and hike into deeper space within… honoring the trees, new buds, light and forest bathing …..

We’ll find out “spot” with our bodies for a time to pick a forest bathing card and go on a personal adventure for 30 minutes. Communing with whatever shows up. We’ll reconnect and share quietly…. Mindfully.

Then hike deeper in…. To a new space to dance to the sounds of nature…. The rhythms that arise in the forest and with each other. Opportunity to contact trees, flowers, butterfly’s, each other. We’ll also explore “point of contact, momentum, deep listening thru the body” 45 min…. And create a collective natural altar offering….

As the sun sets we will meander thru the trail and back to our car.
