About this Event

https://www.trybooking.com/CFABZ Join us on Boxing Day- to ground that post Xmas frenzy and return home to your body, your heart and the elements of nature. We will gather outside of the city, in a private venue, so we can attune more deeply to the cycles, sounds and sights of the natural world and our own body rhythm. We will work with ritual, dance and intention to harness the energies of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether within and around us. The theme we will be dancing with is: 'Through the Mother.' Everything we know comes through the Mother (Earth), including you and me. I have several sisters in my life who have recently or will soon be giving birth and it has been such an honour to witness their strength, their courage, their ferocity, their love and their willingness to surrender fully to the miracle of creating life. Many of us take for granted how we all got here...which if we take a moment to contemplate it, is actually mind and heart blowing. EVERYTHING we know on this earth, comes through the Mother (including the reason many people celebrate Christ-mas) So let's come together between earth and sky- in a ritual dance to honour all that comes Through the Mother; to celebrate and remember how absolutely BLESSED we are to be in these bodies, on this life-sustaining, sun kissed planet that floats in (the darkness of) space. There is no way to do it wrong, simply bring yourself and your pulsing heart.

BOOK YOUR TICKET HERE: https://www.trybooking.com/CFABZ (THIS IS AN INTIMATE GATHERING ONLY 33 TICKETS AVAILABLE.) What is Dancing Freedom? Dancing Freedom is a somatic, ecstatic and shamanic dance practice that supports the re-emergence of embodied wholeness. By gathering in community we dance an elemental wave, tapping into the fundamental building blocks that we are made of: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Together, we co-create a safe space for Y(our) true self to experience full bodied expression. In this movement practice, we dance in ceremony; we give ourselves permission to enter the mythic, to work with our intent and welcome our felt senses to weave a new reality for ourselves and all our relations. All bodies, abilities and backgrounds are welcome.The practice supports physical fitness, emotional and spiritual healing, personal and leadership development and the ability to create and sustain healthy relationships. About me: My name is Phoenix, and I firmly believe that each and every one of us has a unique role to play in our evolving culture and in the shifting of the current paradigm. I have committed my life to co-creating spaces and opportunities for people to unite with one another and nature to put their pieces of the puzzle together. I combine my passion for teaching, embodiment, ceremony, ritual and communing with nature, to play my part in weaving our collective visions into the web that we are each a part of. My purpose is to inspire and empower others to share their gifts. I am here to remind others to stop playing small, encouraging them to share their gifts and to remember that we are all here to work together towards the “more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.” I am a student of life, a teacher, a medicine woman and an embodied leader who unapologetically shares my vision for global synergy and collaboration. If you want to learn more about me or the movement modality that I serve in this world- please refer to www.dancingfreedom.com If you are curious about the kind of vibe I like to share- you can check out a bunch of my playlists on mixcloud. https://www.mixcloud.com/hikarijin/ PS- bring a water bottle and if you wish to stay for a dip in the dam afterwards, bring a towel (bathers optional) *We acknowledge we dance on the lands of the Wurundjeri people, on stolen lands that were never ceded. It is our intention to create a space of connection and repair, to truly acknowledge what it means to live on these lands, so that we may learn a deeper respect for country and custodians. *art credit- The Creation "Birth Project" by Judy Cohen Chicago
