Listen to how your spirit wants to move through your body. Land in safety, pleasure, joy, freedom & empowerment. Feel warmly held by this self loving act. It is like a refuge from stress on many levels. The mind is much faster than the body, therefore when we are disconnected from our bodies we experience stress. It is clever don't you think? to help the mind to slow down by directing it back to our physical structure? If we would name the mind masculine and the body feminine, then this practice would be called a sacred marriage. This is for you if you have a need to calm your nervous system and at the same time activate it in a good way. This is a gentle & fierce home coming to your body, through invoking pleasure, power and connection no matter your state of being, as an exploration of your amazing body in movement. We will pay attention to what wants to come alive, through the wisdom of our bodies, hearts and minds, through the healing power of rhythmic music and shamanic dance, clearing our channels and giving space for the divine in us to shine and to celebrate life! Let's open up to our true nature, that which wants to grow from this sweet spot of the present moment. Let ourselves be nourished and let´s nourish each other as we are inviting a compassionate witness for ourselves and for each other, to follow and express ourselves in movement. When you listen and give your body permission to start moving freely, it will release, heal and restore your psyche, to remember and reconnect with your sense of feeling fully alive. Shamanic dance is a powerful transformational medicine where you are able to transform pain/trauma into freedom, peace and love. Meet the facilitator Kvika Föld, founder of Kvika Föld Shamanic Dance, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of the burning lava fields in Iceland in 2021. She is fully alive rising from her life experience of trauma. She is an artist, DJ and a shamanic dancer. Kvika facilitates empowerment journeys for women and men, to take ownership of their bodies, emotions and thoughts, to dance with any limitation as a gateway to personal power, pleasure, aliveness, freedom, peace, joy, health, wealth and love. Kvika Föld Shamanic Dance grew out of 14 years of dedicated apprenticeship to Movement Medicine with Susannah & Y´Acov Darling Khan. She graduated as a Movement Medicine teacher 2015 and has been teaching Movement Medicine for 9 years by the time she began to define her own body of work. She has a background in the 12 step program, various kinds of inner work and a lifelong practice of the visual arts as well as being a mother of two young courageous women. Kvika completed the Ecstatic Dance DJ training 2022 with Wakamaia School of Sacred Fun by Sophie Sofree & Raio. They empowered her to guide her rhythmic dance journeys with professional DJing tools.
