TESTIMONIALS

Bring the feeling home. Create these experiences in your own space and the places you go.

“Highly recommend: a very talented DJ and conscious dance facilitator. Authentic.”

“One of my regular go-tos for mixes. The 20 minute ones fit into my daily life time-wise, the longer mixes are wonderful, very inspiring to my life.”

“Christian is there on the decks as doula to the dancefloor, and creates a really open space of support.”

“I really appreciate the option to choose between guided and non-guided.”

“The music mix truly provides medicine.”

“The mic input is brilliant, very helpful while leaving space for my inner guidance too.”

“A great resource for dancing alone with the support of a guide, and always such interesting, expansive music selections.”

“The quality of the sound, the care in how it is all put together.”

“You enable me to reconnect to the full power of life.”

“A beautiful suite of offerings and I love to dive in and get connected.”

What is The Home Dancing Project, in a nutshell?

It is a membership for dancers and conscious movement meditators who want to bring the dance home and cultivate an autonomous practice.

When you sign-up, you make a monthly or annual pledge and you receive a monthly dose of resources: DJ mixes, guided practices, access to live sessions and more (benefits vary according to tier). These resources are designed to support you to get dancing anytime and integrate a life-changing movement practice into your routine.

The Home Dancing Project operates through a platform called Patreon, which takes care of the financial and technical aspects of delivery, allowing me to focus on the creative part of making the resources and being in service to your dance practice. The resources are also available for members to access through various apps and the Glimpses of Light website.

a

What do I need?

  1. A device that can access the internet and download recordings / stream the live calls.
  2. The best speakers or headphones you can access.
  3. A space or place where you feel safe and comfortable enough to relax into moving and exploring the dance. Undisturbed is ideal, but we work with the possible!
  4. The ability and willingness to take responsibility for your own safety, experience and well-being.
  5. A little time. Could be 5minutes. Could be half an hour. Could be half a day! Anytime.

a

Do I need prior experience of 5Rhythms or other conscious dance?

If you’ve been to 5Rhythms or Movement Medicine classes/workshops or similar that may be helpful. However it’s not a pre-requisite; if you’re new to this way of dancing / have always felt too shy to dance with others / whatever – it’s fine! Go to the practice intros and guides first and take it from there.

a

Can I just try to see if I like it?

Yes of course! There’s a 7-Day Free Trial so you can sign-up, see how it works and try it. If you don’t want to continue you can easily cancel at any time.

And/or, you can pay for one month, try it and see how it goes at the end of that time.

You can always cancel at any time and it’s straightforward to do that on Patreon.

You also have the flexibility to change Tiers at any time if that fits better, or if you have a busy/lean month and want to pay less while staying connected.

a

How often can (or should) I use this?

It’s really up to you, your personal approach to life and practice – and whatever works.
You might just use each new wave once during the month, you might use every recording many times over, or it might vary

I recommend looking for a way to build a relaxed but regular commitment into your schedule. How that looks will be a function of your life and routine, of what you want and of when/how the windows are. Some people practice first thing every morning, some do evenings. Some have a dance during lunch-break and some make time for movement at the weekend.

a

My partner / housemates also dance – can we use the resources together?

Yes, feel free to use the recordings and other resources with one or two close people, for personal practice only.

If you are using the resources with other people you live with or see often, please adjust your Patreon contribution to reflect that extra energy you are drawing down. Use the name-your-amount option on Patreon, or make one-off extra contributions via Paypal or Mixcloud Tips. Thanks for holding integrity with this.

PLEASE NOTE: the resources are not offered for any kind of professional, spaceholding or commercial usage whether group spaces, one-to-one work or anything else. If you want to bring my work into a professional or community context of any kind, please be in communication: contact@glimpsesoflight.art

a

Who are you and what’s your training?

I am an experienced teacher of Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms practice (trained 2005) and was one of the first ‘Pathfinder’ teachers of Movement Medicine (qualified 2011)

My movement teaching and DJing draws on a blend of these two potent maps, supported by aspects of Taoist, shamanic/animist and subcultural practice, all of which I have engaged with deeply for over two decades.

I got into ecstatic dancing in my bedroom as a teenager before discovering raves; its been around 25 years since I realised we can use dance as an explicitly conscious meditation practice.

PRACTICALS & TECHNICALS:

a

Is this thing done though video, audio, live, recorded or what?

All of the above!
– Luminance sessions are live video calls, with a follow-up playback recording within 48hours.
– The DJ Mixes, Guided Practices and Dance Journeys are strictly audio so you can immerse without visual distraction.
– The Livestream from the Dancefloor is a high-quality audio broadcast direct from In-The-Room dances.
– Transmission is a high-quality deep radio livestream.

In time we may develop a new category of video recordings for the guides to practice.

a

How do I access the resources and do I need to be online to use them?

You can access the resources through the Patreon website or app, the Glimpses of Light website or a Podcast app.

You don’t need to be online to listen to the recordings – use the apps to download most audio for Offline & Anytime Access, so you can listen and move anywhere and at the time of your choosing – in nature, underground, wherever!

You do need to be online for Transmission and the Livestream from the Dancefloor, but the recordings from both are downloadable. Please note also that Luminance video recordings are only available offline through the Patreon app (they can be streamed through all platforms if you’re online)

“If you have a Body you are a Dancer.” 

– Gabrielle Roth

OUT-TAKES:
Sometimes it’s wild: full power being. Sometimes it’s tender, moving with the story. Sometimes it’s just sweet like honey. But in all the versions, dancing, you become more of who you are and experience why you’re on the planet. 

You know that feeling when you’re on a dancefloor and you feel fully alive. Moving, ecstatic – inside the music, with all of your body, heart and soul. Sometimes it’s wild: full power being. Sometimes it’s tender, moving with the story. Sometimes it’s just sweet like honey. But in all the versions, dancing, you become more of who you are and experience why you’re on the planet. 

Dancing… – it’s fun, you’ll enjoy it 🙂 
Do it often and you’ll feel more alive.
Do it as a practice… 
– and you can grow in all sorts of ways.

Bring the feeling home. Create these experiences in your own space and the places you go. It’s accessible to anyone and everyone, wherever we are. This offering brings you DJ mixes, teachings and the invitation. All you have to do is clear a patch of floor, press play, and move…
