What Women Are Saying
About the Temple Dance Experience:
"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
"When I dance in the temple, I notice I am more embodied in my everyday - at work, at home, on the hiking trail - more likely to shake it off and out, to stretch, to walk tall, to make eye contact... it nourishes my inner life and offers a place to connect." ~Mona
"I go into this inner cocoon of rhythm and I dance whatever needs to be expressed without caring about how I must look. This is how I want to show up in the world - courageously expressing what needs to be expressed without worrying about what will people think." ~Nicole
