Dancing Freedom: Curious & Curiouser

"Are you happy?" "In all honesty? No. But I am curious—I am curious in my sadness, and I am curious in my joy. I am ever-seeking, ever feeling. I am in awe of the beautiful moments life gives us, and I am in awe of the difficult ones. I am transfixed by grief, by growth. It is all so stunning, so rich, and I will never convince myself that I cannot be sombre, cannot be hurt, cannot be overjoyed. I want to feel it all—I don't want to cover it up or numb it. So no, I am not happy. I am open, and I wouldn't have it any other way." - Bianca Sparacino

encoded within this body are patterns
ways of moving
ancient bi-ways and highways
of sinew and spine
electric/magnetic
connections to self that truly felt
enliven every cell
with a resonance
a calling to complete deeper circles,
with the greater body of the earth
to respond and cohere
as an imaginal cell
in this inter-individuating soulscape of being
dreaming the moment
together, becoming
something utterly new
the entering edge of consciousness
moving, & dancing,
very curious...

This Friday, come join me as we get curious with our feeling bodies, each other and all of creation. See you on the d-floor!

What is Dancing Freedom?

Dancing Freedom is a somatic, ecstatic and shamanic dance practise that supports the re-emergence of embodied wholeness. By gathering in the 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 practise supports physical fitness, emotional and spiritual healing, personal and leadership development and the ability to create and sustain healthy relationships.

Note: No entry after 8:00pm, doors open at 7:30 for a warm-up and we circle up to commence our dance ritual at 7:45)

(EFTPOS is still not up due to some technical difficulties—if you have no cash—we will have my bank details at the door for you to do a transfer).

(If financial flow is an issue- please reach out and we can find a way for you to participate).
