Outline of our journey:
Stage 1: “Home” — discover the place where your breath and movement are most connected
Stage 2: “Polarities” — explore the differing breath rhythms your body holds
Stage 3: “Stuck” — presence a region of your body where there is a restriction of flow
Stage 4: “Reclaim Your Power” — awaken agency in your deep body by bridging your “home” and “stuck” with breath

Dance Healing agreements:
- Your body is the teacher and everything offered is an invitation. You are encouraged to listen to your body and adapt offerings to your needs as they emerge and evolve.
- Personal responsibility. We practice using non-violent communication with ourselves and others including using “I” statements to take ownership of our experiences and reveal any impulse to unconsciously project onto others.
- Personal commitment. Deep growth is vulnerable and can be uncomfortable at times. By committing to honoring the process, you develop deeper trust in yourself and create a strong foundation for healing.
What you will need:
- Computer or phone with wifi access
- Drawing/writing supplies. Recommend having a drawing pad of recycled paper (14x17 if possible), a pack of oil pastels, and a special journal dedicated to this journey.
- An open mind or “beginner’s mind”
