Medicine Dance: Tree of Life - Devon

  • Harberton Parish Hall Tristford Road Harberton TQ9 7SE (map)

We begin with a Movement Medicine practice called The Tree of Life, where we dance with the Roots, Trunk, and Branches of the Tree of Life within ourselves and the World Tree of Life around us. In this way, we deepen the connection and invite this archetypal energy to be a support and resource in our lives.

This is a simple yet profound practice and we then move into unfacilitated free-form Ecstatic Dance to move and dance from this awakened, embodied, and connected place individually and collectively.

We will close with a Sound Journey and brief sharing circle. There will also be time to have a warm drink and/or eat after the dance, so please bring some food with you if you’d like to.

£7.50 - Concessions with coupon code CONCESSION at checkout

As Movement Medicine teacher and facilitator and Ecstatic Dance DJ, I bring the potency of both of these practices together to make the potent power and simplicity of the dance accessible to those new to conscious embodiment practices as well as long time conscious dancers.

Movement Medicine is a powerful embodiment practice for our times. It combines many elements and processes, all to support you to gain a deeper connection to your body, breath, and earth beneath your feet.

Ecstatic Dance is a music-led free-form dance practice that connects dancers to themselves and each other in a safe and supportive space.

To get a sense of the flow of my dances you can find out more and listen and dance to my latest mixes here.

I’m acutely aware that we are individually and collectively emerging at various paces from a deep dive into a very unique and for some very challenging time. It is my intention to hold a space that honors that to the best of my ability, as being someone who is also emerging. In light of that please be in contact and let me know if you have any requests that may support you to join the dance(s) if you feel the calling to be there.

I also welcome feedback and suggestions as we go along as I feel we are in an emergent process in these new times and this calls for on-the-fly adaptation and evolution. For me this is one of the great teachings of conscious dance and embodiment practices; to track and respond to what’s arising in the moment without and addenda for it to be different, allowing the wisdom of the body and breath to lead and open into new vistas of possibility inner and outer.

When we bring movement and awareness to our bodies and also to our hearts and minds, we awaken to parts of us that have been shut down and come into a deeper relationship with ourselves and each other. This is a powerful path to truly stepping into our greatest potentials in life, as we can release many of the old patterns, emotions, and beliefs that have been stored in our system and open to new possibilities.

I’m acutely aware that we are individually and collectively emerging at various paces from a deep dive into a very unique and for some very challenging time. It is my intention to hold a space that honors that to the best of my ability, as being someone who is also emerging (or at least attempting to!). In light of that please let me know if you have any requests that may support you to join the dance(s) if you feel the calling to be there. I also welcome feedback and suggestions as we go along.

These are intense and beautiful times. These dances are a totally inclusive and safe space for you to bring the fullness of yourself into movement.

Your brokenness is equally welcome as your wholeness. Your beauty is equally welcome as your shadow.

You are welcome just as you are. Nothing needs to change and who knows, maybe everything will…

It is a place to be you. Just you. Nothing more, nothing less.

Welcome to the Medicine. Welcome to the Dance.
