This ceremony will be held with deep reverence for the sacred land upon which we will gather. We will sit in ceremony on Kubi Kubi/Jinabarra land.

Mira BIO ⋆

Mira passionately weaves the ancient teachings of plants with the timeless medicine of sound to help open and access higher states of consciousness. She incorporates traditions of the Kaqchikel & Tzutijil Maya of Guatemala, and the Laika of the Andes, into ceremonial space.

Mira's enthusiasm for the healing arts invites others to explore their hidden potential for healing and enlightenment within ceremony space. She welcomes the full human experience to exist while simultaneously merging with divinity. Her intention is to build bridges between worlds, co-creating sacred spaces to re-member our true nature, and let it shine forth.

🖤💛❤️We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, and honor their enduring connection to community, land and water. We pay deep respect to Indigenous elders and peoples, past, present, and emerging, as we support the continuation of their rich cultural heritage.

Cacao 🍫
Cacao is a powerful elixr, an ancient plant medicine, that is both gentle and nurturing. We will prepare the medicine honouring the power of tradition, ritual and prayer.
There are some important preparations we recommend to support the experience.
We suggest not eating 2-3 hrs before the ceremony and avoiding caffeine please.
There are some contraindications with ceremonial cacao, such as SSRI's (antidepressants), antipsychotics and heart medications.
Please make contact with us prior so we can adjust accordingly.
Drink plenty of Fluids so you are well hydrated!
If you have any questions feel free to connect with us.

We look forward to welcoming you :)

-------------

Most sessions will be facilitated by Joerg Hassmann, an internationally well known teacher. There is a team of experienced dancers, who facilitate the sessions, when Joerg is travelling to teach Workshops elsewhere.

CONTACT IMPROVISATION
has been developing internationally since 1972 and it started from the exploration, research and inquiries of Steve Paxton. It involves the exploration of one's body in relation to others and the space of presence they visit, by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, listening touch, and movement awareness. It has evolved into a broad global community around "jams" characterised by their welcoming attitude towards newcomers to dance, as well as seasoned practitioners, and its fundaments relate with dancing without being guided by music, instead, the dancers learn to listen to the sounds that the dance itself brings.

JOERG HASSMANN
Joerg is a dancer and passionate movement teacher, deeply interested in learning and the question 'what is it that makes us feel connected?' - on many different levels. He is one of the leading figures in Europe in the field of Contact Improvisation, and has been teaching for more than 25 years, offering training programmes and organising festivals. Many kinds of sports, release techniques, somatic work, Zenthai Shiatsu, instant composition and performance work have informed his dance and his teaching. He's been living on the Sunshine Coast for the last four years, facilitating the growths of the local CI community.

Transformational Dance - Weekly Classes starts soon at Studio sociaal.

Welcome to Transformational Dance

With over 250 workshops and courses facilitated across 5 countries, Transformational Dance has positively impacted hundreds of people’s lives. Transformational Dance (TD) is an innovative modality that blends dance, authentic self-expression, human connection, and personal growth. The goal of the modality is to transform the way you dance. This is accomplished through techniques, processes and principles all designed to level up your confidence, creativity and dancing.

TESTIMONIALS

"I highly recommend Jackson’s Transformational Dance course. He creates an incredibly fun and interesting space to learn how to dance. The course was suitable for all ages and all levels of dance. I was a complete beginner and loved it!" - Lachy Gordon - Data Analyst

"This course is nothing short of exceptional, it has changed my life in so many areas. The freedom it has brought to my movement and expression has translated into the rest of my life." - Aaron VanderAa - Business Owner

“Highly recommend Transformational Dance with Jackson and his team. I’ve always loved dancing and I’ve always experienced a lot of shyness and judgment to fully express myself through dance. The teachings TD shares really allowed me to open up and find freedom in my body again. Anyone wanting to explore freedom in their dance and expression check these guys out." - Sarhan Allen - Breathwork & Fitness Instructor

"I have absolutely loved the Transformational Dance course with Jackson and his team! This is my 3rd time doing TD and each time I get to uncover another layer of myself, break free from the limits and stories I have told myself or have been told by others while reconnecting to my body and learning something different each week. The course is about dance and your relationship with dance but honestly... you receive soo much more from the experience! I am so very grateful to Jackson and the TD family." - Tara Banks - Hypnotherapist

"An absolutely incredible experience that is much more than movement and dance. TD drops you straight into your heart and fills your entire body with dopamine, feel good vibes, joy and happiness. It left me speechless, feeling alive and uplifted and with the biggest smile on my face. I loved it and highly recommend it!" - Damian Campbell - Professional Musician

“Transformational Dance is an outstanding program for anyone of any level wanting to learn dance and more about themselves. A beautiful way to connect with the spirit of dance, music and connect with the spirit of dance, music and community." - Aaron Griffiths - Fitness Instructor

"The main thing I got from this was the breaking up of dance into different possibilities and adding some new ways to move that I didn't have before. I think this course is fantastic for anyone who likes to move but is a bit shy about being seen in public." - Alexandra Kohl - Engineer

"This is my second time doing this 10-week course, it was absolutely awesome the first time around, and I would do it again and again and again!! I come from a dance background and TD was a place I could express myself freely and explore in a way I hadn't before. It was a beautiful group of people, and such an amazing community, I recommend it to anyone, come join!" - Ellie Oster - Drama Teacher

BENEFITS

These are some of the benefits that people have experienced with Transformational Dance:

✅ Improved dancing ability, confidence and freedom in themselves.

✅ Experiencing more joy and playfulness in their lives.

WEEKLY CLASSES OVERVIEW

Transformational Dance classes will give you a series of processes, principles & techniques to enhance your dancing ability, energy levels, mental well-being & creative expression. Additionally you will learn from a fusion of dance styles such as hip hop, afrodance, contemporary, waving, house, krump, whacking, and breaking. The added bonus is the people you will come to love along the way.

Classes run every Thursday 5:30-7:30pm in 10 week blocks. You're welcome to join classes anytime during the 10 weeks.

In those ten weeks, we will be exploring the 3 Pillars of this course:

1. Foundational Pillar - Within this pillar, we establish WHAT dance is to you. If we build something, we need to know what we are building first.

⚡️ This pillar will build the foundations for Transformational Dance.

2. Expressive Pillar - We establish the WHY behind your dancing within this pillar. When you a clear on WHY you do something, it will become more meaningful/purposeful. We then build our WHY in dancing upon the foundations of WHAT dancing is to us.

⚡️ This pillar will ignite your creativity, imagination and self-expression.

3. Connection Pillar - Within this pillar, we establish HOW dancing connects us. When you realise HOW your dancing can bring so much joy, value and inspiration to others, it will become one of the greatest gifts.

⚡️ This pillar will connect your dancing to everything around you.

Everything you learn from the classes is yours to keep. Transformational Dance is not choreography, ecstatic dance, 5 rhythms dance, or any specific dance style.

The intention throughout this course is to give you new experiences and to transform yourself not only as a dancer but also as a person.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

These classes is open to all levels of dancing experience, whether you have danced your whole life or just started.

Someone who is open-minded and has a passion for dance.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Each class combines philosophy and experiential learning with others through a challenge-by-choice method as well as learning from other dance styles. There are no mandatory aspects to these classes, only opportunities to gain new experiences. Our facilitator will expertly guide you through each class by creating a safe space to express yourself. These classes are done inside a creative warehouse venue called Studio Sociaal in Coolum with an aircon or fan option during class. The maximum capacity is 22 people in these classes.
