Soul Power Lisbon: Integration

Soul Power Installation by Johanna von Fischer

Thanks for dancing!

Big gratitude and respect for your presence on the dancefloor this weekend.
It was such a pleasure to be with you in Lisbon and discover the unique unfolding of our collective dance in all its embodied heart, imagination and soulful magic. You all rock!

The beans with all our prayers made at the altar were offered to the earth and roots under the mighty elder tree in the Jardim de Estrela. It was getting dark but you can see here:

This page is a landing space with some resources for your integration and onward movement…

Landing: take a moment to listen to the audio message below (11mins) – maybe with a cup of tea or other beverage to relax into it.

Integration: invitation to make some time to dance to the DJ mixes below and do some silent practice.

Feedback: we would love to hear about your experiences on the dancefloor this weekend and/or anything about the workshop and what worked, could have been different for you, etc.
If you would like to share, you can email us at xian@glimpsesoflight.art for Christian + shivani.movementmedicine@gmail.com for Shivani – or you could post in the Telegram group – use whichever option most appropriate for your sharing.

Dance on! Check out your options for that magical place called The Future 🙂
(including events with Christian and offerings from Shivani and the support team)

INTEGRATION PRACTICE 

1. Have a Dance at Home, using the mixes above.
Soul Power is a 45min music journey through Body Heart Mind.
Give it a moment this week to dance and build that bridge for the energy from the weekend.
There’s a guided version and a music-only version; you can use either or both as you like.
Be You / Believe / Find the Power is the shorter, 14min mix guided by lyrics which I sent out before the weekend. That one is good for a quick plugging-in to start the day or when you want a lift.

How to do this:
Make a safe space to move, have water available + anything else you need.
Click on the title of the mix to play.
Breathe, receive the music and just go with it.
If you enjoy these mixes, check out the membership below for more music and other resources.

2. Use the Silent Movement practice we did on Sunday.
Make a safe space to move, put a timer on for 5 or 7 minutes.
Start in stillness, breathe, move and see what emerges.

Please remember: for both these practices (and anything else) you are responsible for your own phsyical, emotional, psychological and spiritual wellbeing at all times! Take care, and enjoy.

3. Moving forwards… To be honest, the best way to integrate these experiences in the long term is to keep practicing. If you enjoyed dancing in the space Christian held, there’s a few options to stay connected and do more. There’s also beautiful offerings from the others in the support team and of course dance spaces all over the place. Read on!

BRING THE DANCE HOME!

The Home Dancing Project is an affordable membership, bringing you DJ mixes, Guided Practices, Livestreams, Online Dances and other resources to activate and sustain your autonomous movement practice. Bring the dance to your everyday life…

Note: The production of new material is currently on pause for this season as I am working on the structure. However, there’s a large library of recordings and during the pause you can sign-up, pay for just one month and get ongoing access until relaunch (December/January).

The DJ mixes above were made for this project and are a good example of the resources available.
