Give it a go
If you know in your heart of hearts that the life energy being pulled into the void of unbalanced habits like:- food, alcohol, sex, the mobile phone - is actually a part of a yearning to meet your sense of truth, then why not take a leap of faith and join this 5 week conscious dance journey and get to know your body in an environment where openness and vulnerability create group safety.
What’s in store and what to gain
We will explore a movement practice based around the five elements - an element per week - earth, water, fire, air and ether. With each element they’ll be an exploration into somatic body work, playful movement and partner work to explore deeper intimacy with self and other. By activating the innate rhythm and intuition of our bodies, we can begin to meet the flight, fight, freeze responses caught in the body with softness and compassion. Each session will be accompanied by a journey of beautiful music and Sophie’s guidance.
The inspiration for this course
Growing up with parental addiction has created for Sophie a lifelong passion to intuit free form dance as a tool to tend to her inner child. Along with her 10 years experience as a conscious dance facilitator/DJ and inner child work, it’s with great heart that she’s ready to invite you to experience this new body of work.

Commitment
Your presence, signing up to the course is important to not only you, but to the constellation of the whole group. There is so much richness and learning in group work.
The aim is to come away from this course with a sense of :-
connection with your inner spontaneous child-like part - the part that loves to be playful in movement:- spiralling, jumping, shaking, making animal noises
discovering the value of conscious dance as a regular practice
how the nervous system can self regulate through free movement
inner confidence that you’ve found your feet on a sober dance floor
empathy for another woman’s story and what that does for you
a deeper sense of freedom in your body as you move on the ecstatic/ conscious dance floor
inspiration to dance alone as a tool to loving our inner selves
learning to self-regulate through dancing freely and mindfully
feeling proud that you took a healthy risk and shared your vulnerability in a group setting.
sharing your truth about what has kept the authentic you locked away
turning your pain into gold
deeper connection to others through embodiment
There’s nothing to master, no steps or choreography to learn, just arriving with a clear intention to join other women and give yourself the self compassion you deserve to let your body speak.
The benefits of coming together, as women with all our defences, blocks and coping strategies, in a relaxed and free way, is boundless. This is an opportunity for you to experience the living and vibrating reality of each moment through movement. Discover your true self concealed behind adult-life’s coping mechanisms and parental and societal conditioning.
This could sound a bit woo-woo but even in that place of resistance a small voice may be saying, ‘this is exactly what I need!’ Another voice may pop up saying, ‘but what if I look like an idiot?’Expect to be surprised, leaving each week with a huge smile on your face!
This will be a group of real people making real breakthroughs. Give yourself the gift of throwing off the shackles of everyday life. It will help to make tomorrow a little bit easier!
