SACRED SESSIONS Vol. XVI - Ecstatic Dance Journey starts soon at Woombye School of Arts.
The Sacred Sessions ✨
Not just dance.
A journey.
A release.
A return to yourself — through both depth and play.
Breathe. Move. Let go. Be guided by music and live instruments into a space where your spirit feels alive, your body free, and your heart wide open.
Your journey begins here. 💫
We gather in circle to arrive and settle, opening sacred space with the Medicine Wheel and simple Pranayama to ground, centre, and connect.
As the music builds, you’ll be invited to explore movement in your own way — no choreography, no performance, just authentic expression. Feel the joy rise, the laughter, the liberation — and let rhythm carry you deeper into your essence.
When the dance softens, you’ll rest into a soundscape of live instruments, wrapped in vibration and stillness. The journey lands you home — clear, calm, and renewed, yet filled with the lingering joy of freedom and connection.
Bring yourself as you are.
The rest will unfold. ✨
