Gratitude to the community that came together, the land for witnessing us, and the teachings of Gabrielle Roth woven together and developed by the years of learnings and wisdom from our magnificent facilitator Natalie Poole
It was a treat!!

I’ve come away with:

~ More depth of understanding of 5Rhythms & perspective of Conscious Dance

~ New reflections on my own woundings & matriarchal ancestral lineage & the manifestation within my body & dance (noticing & acknowledging the patterns)

~ Refreshed sense of somatic embodiment of the organ systems within the body, & how to access a felt sense of the inner body

~ Greater capacity to empathise & confidence in working with emotions for my clients

~ A greater trust in how spirit manifests itself in dance

It feels rich and wonderful to have these opportunities both on a personal and also a professional development level. It feels like a space not everyone has access to, so I’m feeling the privilege and I’m also motivated to share my learnings here in Ōtepoti which always get digested, processed and then re-imagined into my own conscious dance, improvisation, & one-on-one somatic therapy offerings.

Please stay in touch if that’s interesting to you & feel free to connect or reach out 🌿

Gratitude for your act of Receiving 🌿

Gather & Ground on Sunday was a tangible experience of community dropping down into a deeper space collectively. Through the warm sun that caressed our skin as we entered the hall, to the scent of Tee’s incense, hot cups of mint or lemon balm tea, & honest smiling kōrero afterwards.

It felt deeply nourishing & such an honour to witness the shift in people as they found their wellspring of resources within themselves. Through body, through movement, through breath, through presence, curiosity & opening.

Whether you’re so ready to drop in, or still standing at the edge waiting for the right time, the journey is yours & in your timing, in your hands.

Ngā mihi nui ki a koe 🙏🏼🌿

Kia ora koutou,

Two sleeps till we Gather & Ground in collaboration with Transformation With Tee 🌬🌱

Tee Manunui will be offering her beautifully woven mahi to bring us into heart space, dropping the masks & opening to our unique gifts.

I will offer you some potent movement prompts to drop into your space of creative flow & step into your edge.

You will leave having attuned inward, moved some stagnant energy, experienced newness, gone on your own inner journey held by the group and the two facilitators, and will come out the other side via connection, sharing & grounding 🌿

It will be magic & we’d love you there. ✨

Arohanui

✨ Gather & Ground is a monthly intentional space curated to welcome all of the self, into wholeness. Through Meditative Movement and Breath we anchor into coherence, journeying within to honour every part of self while attuning to the collective field. From integration we return, opening space after for connection.

This month we are so lucky to have Miriam Marler from joining us. Miriam brings her expertise as a Trauma-Informed Movement Facilitator, Somatic Therapist & Bodyworker, deepening the way we ground, move, and reconnect.

This co-creation brings a new richness to the field we hold — blending breath, movement, and somatic presence in service of remembrance and wholeness.

💛 All of you is welcome here.

CONSCIOUS MOVEMENT class one 🌱

My mini-alter for the opening of Conscious Movement term three (space-saving yet super potent). I’m left feeling so very grateful for the ropu that has come together for this new round & the potential for diving deep & getting wild! For honesty & authenticity, aliveness, seeing & being seen. I love what each one of us brings to the circle & how each moves and creates so wonderfully. “When you can’t see the beauty of your own soul, know it’s seen, loved, cherished.”

Tonight we arrived.
Tonight we set intent.
Tonight we called in what was needed.
We sunk into ground, we lolled about, we became other substance.
We pressed and pushed and played and found our feet.
Tonight we began the process of forming as a group… the unfolding of connectivity. The weaving of becoming.

I’m so grateful that people come for this mahi, that I am able to share and trust. That we create this together, that there is space and time for listening in, listening out, feeling, sensing, becoming & being.

Rest well people xx

Energy moves in waves. Waves move in patterns. Patterns move in rhythms. A human being is just that, energy, waves, patterns, rhythms. Nothing more. Nothing less. A dance.”
―Gabrielle Roth, Sweat Your Pray

Greetings from Ōtautahi/Christchurch where I’m dancing with around 40 others for two days of tending to our inner flames through movement, ritual and art-making with Sacha Paddy. It’s wonderful to be here and to connect with the wider Conscious Dance community once again.

Tonight I’m sitting here on my friend’s couch with eyes barely staying open as I write to you. My tummy is full of delicious mushroom dumplings, my body is full from all the movements that formed and dissolved over the hours dancing (I’ll sleep so well tonight), and my heart is full from the wonderful experiences of connection and discovery.

My wish is for everyone to experience the deep intimacy, connection, embodied power, wonder, care and listening that are the gifts of this work. Join the next dance you can, to enrich your soul! I don’t think you’ll regret it.
