WaterDance, Somatic flow in Hotsprings pools

Sweet humans, Each Friday evening we welcome all who feel called to the warm water to create moments of magic together, under the starry night. We offer a beautiful space in nature to relax, unwind, play and connect with the element of water. This weekly event takes place at the Pai Water Temple. An unique location with multi-temperature pools providing us with an ongoing flow of thermal water. >>WHAT IS WATERDANCE<< WaterDance is a somatic embodiment practice that combines water movement meditation and contact improvisation. It is often described as ‘contact improvisation in the water’, but it has an important additional partner: the water itself. In WaterDance we adopt the qualities of the water, embracing softness, relaxation and deep listening. During our time together we will journey through various water body movement explorations, both solo and in contact with others. You will be guided through fun and playful exercises that are built progressively to help increase your confidence in the water. >> WHAT TO EXPECT << > Please arrive by 6.30pm for a sunset meditation to settle in our bodies before we enter the water. We invite a free flow; you can sit in meditation, stretch, move your body the way you like while watching the sunset. > At 7pm we offer a class with guided movements in the water. You have the option to join the intro class with guidance on how to water dance (we teach the principles), experienced dancers are welcome to enjoy their own flow with the water. (Important principal to our offerings is: we invite 'free will'; meaning you are welcome to just 'be you'. joining the explorations we offer or to opt out and enjoy your own flow. We do ask to be non-verbal and respectful of the meditative dancing space) > From 8.30pm there is space for an open jam > From 9.30pm we break the non-verbal space and invite sharing, grounding, music making. We welcome fruits or snacks to share in the shala, and usually we offer tea (in the shala only, not in/near the pool). ====================== This is a sensitive space designed to create a magical evening under the stars that will leave you nourished. We welcome you as you are and are excited and grateful for co-creating it with us. We ask to be non-verbal and sensitive to the dancing space. **WATER JOURNEY EVENT DETAILS**: Contribution: Pre-registration: 400 baht ~ At the door: 500 baht Time: 7.00-22.30pm Please register in advance: +66 844838809 (WhatsApp) Location: https://goo.gl/maps/PbYhu9aGnfLYx8QF9 7.00pm: Introduction class to water dance 8.30pm: Open Jam 9.30pm: Grounding/sharing in the Shala For water dancing we use a nose plug.
