We remember. ?We are taking ourselves back to basics with the simple pleasures in life: Dancing, music, community & nature connection. EarthDance allows you to deeply connect with the natural environment & yourself. Every step taken reminds us of who we truly are & that we are part of a greater cycle. A reminder that we are not separate from nature – we are nature. The dances ebb, flow & evolve in sync with the seasons. Free, intuitive movement to a soundwave of world music that is soothing, earthy, tribal, heart opening & fun. Tribal & world beats, funky folk, heart opening rhythms, drums, ambient sounds & medicine songs to name a few. We start off slow, the music gradually builds to an exhilarating, high energy peak then cools down so we can land back down to earth to chill. Breathe. Connect. Release. Open. Elevate. Celebrate, Integrate. Earth. Rest We dance to express, not impress! Dance shyly, mildly or wildly. Self consciousness/ nervousness is normal and welcome. Prance around like a loon or sit n sway through the whole dance. No judgement. No rules. No right or wrong. No pretence. No hierarchy. No comparison. No dance police! Our dance is followed by a LIVE MUSIC session from Ayla Willow in the beautiful Morrocan Tent. Using voice & various instruments Ayla will take us on a journey back to self with medicine songs & sound. Bring your blankets and get cosy. WHO IS THIS FOR? EarthDance is an inclusive life practice for ALL ages, sizes, genders & fitness levels. Come alone or with friends & family. We require absolutely no experience and you do not have to be a ‘dancer’. For those yearning to feel healthier in mind & body. For those who love music & nature. For those who miss their dancing days. For those seeking community & a sense of belonging. Each person comes for different reasons, but all receive so much more than they came for. PARKING/ CAR SHARING: Parking can be found through the private gate entry system.
