Let's harness the potency & power of the November Full Moon as we gather together in circle & then move/ dance however you need to. The Dance Sanctuary is a transformational yet no pressure, nurturing space that gives you the freedom to just BE YOU. Whether you are feeling anxious, excited, stressed, sad or happy, you can show up and dance with whatever you are experiencing in life.
We begin with an optional 15 minute Body Awareness Warm Up guided by Marie to a soothing soundscape to help ease /regulate your nervous system & to help you FEEL AT HOME in your body & the space.
A chance to gather, connect, reflect & tune in to your needs under this potent full Moon before beginning our dance journey.
A barefoot freeform, intuitive movement practice combined with gentle Somatic guidance & uplifting soundwave to help you loosen up & let go on the dancefloor. Reconnecting you with YOUR DANCE. Your birthright. Conscious Dance is based on the wisdom that our bodies know how they need and want to move in order to heal, strengthen, release stress and be nourished. We dance to EXPRESS, not impress. Connecting to the music & your body, dancing with whatever is present for you in any way that feels right for you. Step in perhaps feeling self conscious, anxious, or awkward (this is very normal!) and step out feeling elated, lighter & brighter! Move shyly, mildly or wildly! Anything goes...
No judgement. No rules. No expectation. No hierarchy. No comprison. No dance police!
Marie creates an bespoke, intuitive wave of music that is soothing, soulful, earthy, tribal, heart opening, euphoric & fun. Inspired by all genres of world music from tribal beats to euphoric house to drum & bass to ambient sounds, to name a few. This practice is about dropping out of the busy mind and into the body/heart, allowing your movement to be inspired by the music. Each soundwave follows an energy template/ blueprint made up of 9 key elements that support you through a complete wheel of embodiment:
Ground. Connect. Release. Open. Elevate. Celebrate. Integrate. Earth. Rest
All you have to do is turn up, tune in & move.
We will end our dance journey relaxing with some grounding, gentle sounds & silence taking time to integrate our experience.
We finish with a closing circle and there will be community time at the end to connect & make new dancing friends with a fruit social & chocolate!
This is an inclusive life practice for ALL ages, sizes, genders, fitness levels & health conditions. Absolutely no experience is required and you don't have to be a 'dancer' Is it time to commit to your wellbeing, to feel better about yourself & your body, to break free from self sabotage, stress & your overthinking mind? Or do you simply love music & miss your dancing days? Or perhaps you're seeking community & a sense of belonging? Each person comes for different reasons but all receive so much more than they came for.
The Dance Sanctuary's mission is to bring people together through a shared love of music & dance to uplift, support and enrich lives. To serve as a sanctuary away from stress & distraction where you can be yourself & take care of yourself in a safe space that nurtures wellbeing, connection, belonging, empowerment & freedom of expression. The Dance Sanctuary has helped hundreds of dancing humans to FIND FREEDOM on the dancefloor for the past 10 years.
Marie is a skilled & intuitive space holder, facilitator & music maker on a mission to open hearts wherever she goes! Because she knows, from personal experience, that when a heart feels safe enough to open, decades & lifetimes of spontaneous healing can occur. Marie has an innate skill at making people feel instantly welcome , at ease & cherished, helping people move through any blocks they may have to moving freely on the dancefloor. Marie's sonic journeys are powerful & emotive, tender & exhilarating, with a soundwave & guidance that weaves a return to love, truth and reconnects you to the awe & beauty of life.
