Dancing Freedom: Through The Rabbit Hole ( A Lunar New Year Celebration)

https://www.trybooking.com/CFKWO Join us on Saturday January 21st upon the earth and under the sky, for another outdoor dance to celebrate and welcome the New Lunar Year! As another lunar year comes to an end with all the challenges and opportunities for growth we have had- the time for new beginnings and opening to infinite possibilities is upon us. There is so much going on astrologically that is in our favor: ~New moon in Aquarius (invites our expanded visions and dreams to ground into the here and now) ~Mercury and Mars go direct which literally clears the way for forward momentum after some time in the sludge. AND...of course ... ~Chinese New Year which is the Yin Water Rabbit. "The Year of the Rabbit holds the qualities of Yin and Water, which are both soft and gentle energetic expressions. The Yin nature of the Rabbit encourages us to move from our hearts and to stay open to the flow of the Universe. Rather than pushing forward or asserting what we already know to be true, Yin energy asks us to keep an open mind, stay open to new possibilities, and expand the ideas of what we thought possible." ~Tanaaz from Forever Conscious. So let's come watch the sunset- in a ritual space of movement, breath and dance to honour this watery rabbit hole that is opening for us to enter into and through! There is no way to do it wrong, simply bring yourself and your pulsing heart.

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 Your Guides: 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/ Carl Broman will be starting us off with a gentle and connective Chi Gong practice to support and prepare us for the dance. Carl has been a student of diverse inner movement and sound arts for over 20 years. After exploring and training in a range of modalities and ancient lineages from around the globe, he shares the deep healing benefits of these embodied practices to empower everyone’s own health, joy and wellbeing. His movement practice informed by Yoga and QiGong includes breathing techniques, relaxation, fluid movement, and state of mind that improves body awareness, cultivates connection, enhances balance, and promotes self-healing. PS- bring a water bottle and a blanket to sit on if you like. *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.
