Hearthbeat: Embrace the Dragon (An Ecstatic Dance Experience)

Come gather with us around the hearth, on February 3rd, as we honor the Chinese lunar new year and powerfully dream our way into the embrace of the Wooden Dragon. https://www.trybooking.com/COPWV This is a time to tune in with the cycles of nature and welcome the power that this upcoming new moon in Aquarius holds for our dreaming, visioning and manifestation for a powerful year ahead. The Wood Dragon is the most creative and visionary of the dragons. The year of the Wood Dragon 2024 is special because it is a rare combination of the dragon’s power and the wood’s creativity. It is a year of innovation, vision and growth! And this particular combination will not happen for another 60 years! Let's come together and co-create an evening of ritual, movement, dance, sound and connection to hold us between earth and sky to carry us forward as we embrace the Dragon. There will be blue lotus for us to imbibe, chi gong to help us harness our flow, a Dancing Freedom journey to express ourselves through ecstatic dance and a sound healing to complete the evening. There is no way to do it wrong, simply bring yourself and your pulsing heart. We shall meet you there ❤ ~Phoenix and the Hearthbeat crew We will open the doors to of Dance Art Etc in Nambour, the Sunshine Coast’s newest community hub, at 6pm. We will share in a Blue Lotus Ceremony to drop us into our personal and collective intentions, a shared state of harmony, peace and an opening of our bodies, hearts and minds. Carl Broman will then lead us in an introductory Chi Gong circle to support us in finding our inner balance and flow. Phoenix Onesong will lead us in a Dancing Freedom Journey where we will dance and meet ourselves in whatever form is wishing to be expressed.

BOOK YOUR TICKET HERE: https://www.trybooking.com/COPWV What is Dancing Freedom? Dancing Freedom is a somatic, ecstatic and earth wise 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. 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 am fairly new to the Sunshine Coast and these events are becoming our staple offering to our community who we are beginning to dive deeper with. 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.

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
