New Moon Summer Dance
w/ Lisa Holcomb
DANCE. FLOW. LET IT ALL GO!
Step into the magic of the late summer New Moon with a Soul Stirring Dance Journey designed to awaken your body, reconnect you to your inner rhythm and intuition. Whether you're a hesitant first-timer or a seasoned mover, this practice is perfect! It will introduce you to the bliss of moving FREELY, some fun guided choreography and absorb an intentionally built music list to unlock and soothe the nervous system. Experience your authentic self-expression soar! This is the ancient world practice of conscious dance and moving meditation.
What to expect:
Start with a welcoming warm up and introduction to conscious dance.
Explore the joy of movement—from clumsiness to grace, and everything in between.
You will experience your dance through the 7 Elements of Nature and the Chakras.
45 minutes of a unique blend of freeform dance and lightly choreographed imagery.
Come flow at your own pace—sit to the side or dive right in!
We will close with a Reiki-infused reflective meditation to ground and reconnect.
The freedom to explore your body’s limits to move, stretch or just be listening.
Why join?
No experience needed. This is your space to shake off tension, drop out of overthinking, and reconnect with your natural rhythm. Feel the rapture of release through music and stillness, and emerge with a renewed sense of calm, clarity, and joy.
What to bring and wear?
Comfortable clothing: loose pants or leggings with lightly hugging dress or loose top. Barefoot or light indoor footwear recommended; bring WATER and we’ll have some here too!
Cost: $25 Before August 22nd - $30 at the Door
