Body Temple Dance
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Body Temple Dance is a somatic and spiritual movement language that combines dance, therapeutic somatic movement, mystical teachings, energetic awareness, and modern trauma healing technology to support people in feeling their feelings, experiencing presence, exploring sensations in their bodies, and awakening to the inherent aliveness that comes with being human.
Each class is unique and begins with a teaching on a theme and exploration through practices such as readings, writing prompts, energy awareness exercises, chanting, or meditation. Then begin to move to a specially curated playlist intended to bring you further into the theme and explore it through the language of the body and felt sensations. The movement portion is accessible and open to all bodies and levels of ability – no experience or skill in dance is necessary. Closing with a group discussion to share feelings and what was experienced during class.
The theme is “Shine Bright Like A Diamond”. Working with the big energy of Leo season + sun medicine to activate inner shine, take up space, and celebrate fabulousness (glitter welcome). The class will begin with a talk on the themes, followed by a guided meditation or similar practice, followed by about 20-25 minutes of active movement practice. After the active movement will come some time for restoration and integration, including hands-on reiki healing for all who’d like to receive it.
