Welcome to Elemental Dance
This primary practice is the foundation for the following Somatic Unfolding (Block 2). It is here that we build the Soma; the body as a container, a guide, and a tool to break free from what no longer serves us and expand our potential inside and out.
We will use the 5 elements as a compass to navigate sensations, anchor our roots, instigate what is hidden, transform what is showing up, and soar to take in the view within and all around us.
We will learn how when we blend conscious + functional movements, add the natural breath, and tap into somatic sensations we reach a state of dance; a place where the body is moving freely, from self-existing energy.
Each team will be featured at some point throughout the weekend immersion to practice our ability to witness and be witnessed while growing into felt sense of embodiment.
