A Path Back Into the Wisdom of Your Body
June
Date: Saturday 6th & 20th
Time: 1:30-3:00
SoulDance™ is a guided improvisational movement practice that engages somatic awareness to facilitate personal growth, emotional well-being, and collective healing.
Through the dance we can move into concealed spaces and bring forth a more integrated self—one that honors all of our parts and allows us to remember who we really are. It is a dance of deep embodied connection, knowing and homecoming.
There is no choreography or mirrors. Allison guides you, offering cues that allow you to deepen your exploration and move through a cohesive journey.
It is in the wheelhouse of things like ecstatic dance, 5Rhythms, Authentic Movement- but not that. Soul Dance is it’s own thing, created out of three decades of trainings, global creative, healing and cultural immersions, 35 years of a life in theatre and dance, my own lived spiritual and healing path and decades of training, study and work in the fields of trauma, neuroscience, somatics and ancient healing systems.
Welcoming participants of all experience levels, bodies and identities. This is a trauma-aware container.
The Experience
We enter in a cycle of movement that begins slow, builds in intensity, peaks, lightens, and then settles. Through verbal instructions, participants are invited to explore, in their own body’s way, a variety of movement patterns, physical inquiries, and focal points.
The journey is curated to an intentional and eclectic world music soundscape. It is a journey where you might sweat (though you are always in control of your rhythm and pace). This class allows you to engage with the wisdom of your own body, to take you on a journey. This is a trauma-informed practice and container.
We dance to expand and evolve our embodiment. We dance to release stored tension, emotions and patterns. We dance to integrate our experiences and we dance to remember who we really are.
