Earth Soma - The Wild Embrace
A Dance experience in and with the temple of nature.

Saturday 7 February | 4-7PM
81 Branch Road, Highlands Park

You are invited into our first Dance Temple for 2026!

A guided eco-somatic dance experience outdoors, where movement, breath, and presence meet the living world around us. We will dance with the earth beneath our feet, the air on our skin, and the sounds of nature as our music.

This is a space to soften, to listen through the body, and to feel supported by the wider web of life.
Our dance becomes a meeting between of our earth bodies, and an offering of gratitude to great body of Mother Earth.

No dance experience needed. Just come as you are.

? What is Dance Temple?
Dance Temple is a co-created, intentional dance space where movement becomes medicine.

It’s a place to:
Move freely and intuitively
Listen deeply to your body
Explore sensation, emotion, and presence
We dance to feel, not to perform.

There are no steps to learn, no right way to move - only invitations.
The space is slow, spacious, and sensual, awakening all the senses.

AGREEMENTS

To support a deep, shared experience:
• Clean dancefloor: No alcohol. No phones. No Videos. No talking.
• Let your body speak.
• Move with love. Respect the space - and each other.


Held by the Elements

? Earth - grounding &amp; stability
? Fire - transformation &amp;passion
? Water - emotion &amp; flow
? Air - clarity &amp; breath
✨ Ether - the mystery that holds it all
Together, these elements quietly guide the journey.

? Your Visionary &amp; DJ: Lioness (Natasha Mason)
Ritual romancer. Space weaver. Dancefloor doula.
Natasha’s sets blend somatic awareness with soul-stirring beats, creating journeys that invite connection, release, and remembrance.

TEMPLE KEEPERS:
Lovingly held by a team of experienced Temple Keepers, supporting the space and offering gentle guidance throughout the evening:

?Sarah Flashman ? Moana Hancock ? Claire Rapira ? Leah Rowe
