The Way of the Dancer MARCH 6 – MAY 15 ONGOING GROUP (DEVON) Totnes Civic HallSix fortnightly sessions7pm-9pm A springtime journey to immerse in the extraordinary power of dancing and explore how we use conscious movement practice as a resource for living. This will be a fortnightly in-person closed group held in Totnes, Devon. The invitation is to take the whole journey with a group of other committed dancers. Dance on This Ongoing Group is an invitation to immerse in the dance and go deeper in body, heart and dancing spirit. Using the foundations of 5Rhythms and Movement Medicine in a weave of embodied practice, we will explore the Way (and the many ways) of being a Dancer. How do we find our GROUND as dancers? What is it to FLOW and what is it to move in RHYTHM? How do we RELEASE and when do we EXPAND with the dance? How do we TRANSFORM using movement? And how do we cultivate and land in PRESENCE?We will explore these questions solo and together. Dancing in a committed group where the same people show up each time helps to build connection and trust, creating a stronger container and in turn allowing greater learning and deeper diving for all.We will bring our movement, breath and love to whatever is arising, calling the vitality of the dance to resource and uplift us and everything we are part of and connected to.ResourcesAudio recordings of integration practices and other extra resources will be available for those wishing to bring the movement home.RegistrationJoining the group is not by application but does require the completion of a (supportive!) participant form along with making your payment. This is to help you clarify your intention and help Christian get to know your dancing context prior to holding this space. The form is here and will be also included in your confirmation mail when you book; you can fill it out now or anytime by the end of February.
