  • All movement is at your own pace and intensity.

    Beginner and experienced movers welcome!

     

     

    THESE CIRCLES ARE FOR YOU IF:

    • Covid and life challenges are wearing you thin, you feel distress/stress and yearn to release and renew, center and ground.
    • You need some support to get off your butt and move your body and spirit, knowing it's really okay to dance at your own pace for any reason, including body challenges or health issues.
    • You feel called to be part of a women's circle (that will be doing more than just talking) and feel drawn to the safety and deep presence of shared sacred temple time.
    • You're starting to really understand that self-care on a body/soul level is essential to your sanity.
    • You love to dance and want more joy and juice in your life!

     

    WHAT TO EXPECT:

    The intangible magic that gets created when women gather to honor the mysteries of life through community, music, dance and ritual!

     

    A sense of profound presence that is difficult to express in words because it touches the ancient and current power, tenderness and mystery of your body/soul journey.

     

     

    THE STRUCTURE OF OUR RITUAL TIME:

    • Coming together online.
    • Guidelines given.
    • Ritual Induction.
    • Being with & naming intentions and prayers.
    • Beautiful musical journey with spacious guidance for at-your-own-pace freeform movement (or stillness, stretching, meditation, journaling, self-care, etc) in your home.
    • Integration: Relaxation and completion together.

  • Reflections

    "Wow...wow...wow. I was moved by how deeply I felt received when I shared. There was so much pleasure experienced in the movement and connection with the music."

    ~Anya

    “As I danced, goddesses whispered in my ears… filling my skin with self-knowing… reminding me who I am from the outside in, and from the inside out."

    ~Karen

    "I always walk away feeling full and so very much alive! In finding Women's BodyMystik Dance Circles, I discovered a spirit, mind, body practice that enlivens, awakens, and sustains me..."

    ~Jessa
