# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Home Body - Honey Moon Outdoor Dance
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 03 Dec, 2025 at 09:30 am
- **Event Description**: WHAT IS HOME BODY?

Home Body is an outdoor movement meditation dance enabling greater presence, creative possibility, awareness and aliveness.

Home Body is a silent space that invites a moving conversation with the nature without and within - the home that is our own bodies and this body of land. With gentle facilitation and a range of music, invitations are offered to harvest the wisdom in movement and the spaces between.

Inspired by Open Floor embodiment practice, Home Body is a chance to express what is true through dance. To move and include whatever is present.

WHY OUTDOORS?

Dancing outdoors creates unique opportunities to encounter our bodies in relationship to beautiful Djaara Country, as we tour through the natural flora and fauna we live with.
