🌺🌺🌺 As some of you may know, weekly Bindu sessions at the studio have been on hiatus for Term 1.
I was able to travel to India on a very special solo pilgrimage that was everything I had imagined and hoped for. The photo above is one of the many beautiful Goddess temples I visited in West Bengal - notice the rainbow slinkies - very Bindu!
This time has also allowed for a resurgence in my visual arts practice commitment,
which has been calling me patiently for my return to a life-long love of painting : )

As much as I dearly miss the community engagement and absolute wonder of our weekly studio classes,
my priority at this time is to allow energy for other projects wishing to emerge more fully.
Needing to let you know that a weekly schedule of Bindu Creative Dance sessions and monthly Dance-Nature nights
at the Footscray studio will not be resuming in Term 2. I’m very sorry to disappoint.
I will be in touch with further updates in the future as it unfolds.

However!
I can be booked for creative dance &/or yoga incursions at kinders & schools, along with 1:1 customised sessions, for all ages and abilities.
1:1 and family sessions can be at the studio or home-based.
My specialty is in sessions that integrate creativity, imagination, curiosity & playfulness in collaboration with what resonates for participants.
All sessions are neuro-affirming and in compatibility with my dual role as a disability support worker for young people.
Somatic practices offer deep nourishment to the nervous system and are profoundly beneficial.
We all benefit from learning skills in self & co-regulation and exploring embodied awareness.

If you would like to know more, please be in touch & we can arrange a time to discuss by phone-call.

I would like to offer my deepest appreciation and heart-felt gratitude for your part in this unique wellspring of creative community.
Kindest wishes to you all
Lisa 🌺🌺🌺

Froggy friends & water play 🐸💦🐸

Adept at change, the flux and flow
We flex into fluidity and grow.
Of elements earth, fire, water, air & space
We coalesce in Nature’s grace,
With loving attention, add tears, add mirth,
For sacred beings through life, death and birth
Our dance, our offering ~ bodies in rhyme
The spherical music~ the meters of time,
Let’s ground, let’s flow, let’s rise, let’s fly!
This music, this dance, our open sky.

Join us Sat 7th December as we celebrate cycles, changes, endings, beginnings and Pluto in Aquarius! All welcome x Lisa

‘Dance Nature by Candle-light’ is a once monthly ecstatic dance immersion for adults, freeing us into the expansive spaciousness & natural, heart-felt joy of the flow state.
Held at Footscray’s BodyVoice Centre in the atmospheric ambience of the play of shadows & darkness, illumined by the pure flame of traditional diya lamps in the spacious high ceiling studio, we gather to unwind, unfurl & immerse into the welcoming rhythms of breath, heartbeat, body and sound.
With the foundational support of yoga in which we honour the wholeness of being, the dance of bliss in our bodies that is vibration, movement & rhythm... we awaken a remembering of our essential nature -our Dance Nature.
I may offer gentle guidance in moving, breathing & listening to begin- & from there our well-crafted playlist of sonic sweetness will carry you into your own dance nature as you feel it.
Our eclectic ecstatic playlist features a craftily curated selection of world music, tribal rhythms, bhakti beats & electronica - requests are encouraged- let Lisa know your fave track.
We close the session with deep, supine rest in sivasana, and a circle of chai, cookies and chats. Book with Lisa to receive your invite, pay online or at the door.

‘Honouring the sacred muse, a call to the dance!’
Rumi reminds us...
‘Dance when you’re broken open.
Dance when you’ve torn the bandage off.
Dance in the middle of fighting.
Dance in your blood.
Dance when you’re perfectly free.’
