Dancing Freedom: Deep Within

I am honored to be offering a Dancing Freedom journey to celebrate the upcoming Winter Solstice. Solstices are portals to a bigger perspective that we all share just by being here on earth; the astronomical reality of the changing seasons. Solstice is the shortest day of the year and the longest night; that point from where the earth begins her long, slow turn back towards the light.

At this time of year we are naturally drawn inward, into the darkness and metaphorically towards the unknown in our lives. It’s a time for slowing down, a time for rest and reflection and it’s also a time to come together and warm ourselves by the tribal fire.

Although this is the darkest day of the year—it is important to also recognize and remember with our whole beings that we are turning towards the light that is here to guide our way through the darkness. Let’s come together on the dance floor next Friday June 21st—to honor the darkness that calls us to celebrate and shine our light from deep within.

I hope to see you there!
With love,
Richard

Stay and share a cuppa afterwards.

Note: No entry after 8:00pm, doors open at 7:30 for warm up and we circle up to commence our dance ritual at 7:45). Entry at the door, no bookings.

If you would like to know what kind of vibe I like to share, you can check out a bunch of my playlists on Mixcloud.

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.

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.

A little about Richard:
From my self-initiations on the dusty dance grounds of the Australian bush festival scene to the more studious and structured trainings of recent years, following my dancing star around the globe has been a diverse and transformational journey of self-discovery and awakening. Dance is a powerful practice to harmonise the inner and outer dimensions of our experience and to open to the depth and mystery of life. I have been teaching Dancing Freedom classes since 2011.
