The incredible blessing of the wild, natural coastline...

Our 'Body & Voice: Women's Coastal Landscape Explorations' series continues on Monday 11 May with the final women of colour session led by Shashi Salma Darling, before the series opens up to all women.

Monday 11 May at 10:00am - 3:30pm
Strete Village Hall (morning indoors)
Strete & Forest Cove coastline (afternoon outdoors)

We’ll be moving with words, poetry, breath, our bodies, each other and nature.

Do you need to be good at dancing? No.
Confident using your voice? No.
Good with words or art? No.

You don’t need to know how.... just come!

We’ll let the ocean and sky open us... and the steadiness of rock ground us.

What happens when you give your voice space? ✨

Our Body & Voice series begins Monday 27 April, opening with two sessions for women of colour to gather in shared lived experience.

to listen to your body

in relationship with land, sea and one another 🫶

Led by Shashi Salma Darling, bringing 28 years of experience across movement, meditation and nature-based practice.

Monday 27 April · 10:00am – 12:00pm

A space for women of colour to reconnect with voice, body and creative expression in relationship with land, sea and one another…

As part of our Body & Voice series, we’re offering the first two sessions as dedicated spaces for women of colour, led by Shashi Salma Darling.

You’ll be invited to explore the natural range of your voice and the ways your body moves and responds in the living landscape 🌊

This is a space that invites us into aliveness…
to feel our wholeness,
to express ourselves freely,
and to experience connection with community and the wider web of life.

Absolutely no experience needed.

The Women of Colour sessions:

👉 Monday 27 April · 10:00am – 12:00pm
Studio 6, Dartington Trust

👉 Monday 11 May · 10:00am – 3:30pm
Strete Village Hall (morning)
Strete & Forest Cove coastline (afternoon)

Sliding scale pricing and full bursaries available.

These sessions are designed to support a shared sense of experience, and to offer a space that may feel more easeful and supportive for those who don’t always feel centred in predominantly white environments.

The wider series is open to all women.

Warmly welcome to reserve your spot here: https://dandelion.events/e/bodyvoice

Do you remember the version of you who loved to dance? Then life got in the way…

Because let’s face it, you’re a busy woman with a lot on your plate.

When did everyone else’s needs start coming first… and yours slip to the bottom of the list?

But what we often forget is that movement is an incredible resource that supports us in the rest of our life…

It helps us feel more grounded and more connected to ourselves.

It helps us process emotions, release stress and come back into our bodies.

It brings greater sense of inner resilience, so we’re able to meet all the curveballs life throws at us.

And it reminds us that our well-being, our needs, our body matter too.

Our Movement for Well-Being online group is for women exactly like you.

A gentle, supportive online space led by Leela Fisk, where you can say “yes” to yourself and rediscover the joy and support of dance.

Fortnightly sessions starting Wednesday 22 April.

Women, do you feel something open in you by the ocean?

Would you like to be part of a group of women exploring together - moving, sensing, sounding, creating, being together?

The coast is such an amazing resource.

So we’ve created a series of sessions with both indoor and outdoor explorations across Devon’s wild, beautiful coastline.

Body & Voice: Women's Coastal Landscape Explorations

Expect:
🌊 conscious movement
🌊 somatic enquiry and body awareness
🌊 voice, sound and poetry
🌊 space to be as you are, and to be witnessed in it

This is going to be really special.

Feel free to book 1 or more sessions or join for the whole series, running from 27 April to 29 June.

Our online Movement for Well-being series has become a bit of a lifeline for many of the women who join…

A space to come back to yourself, your body, your feelings.
A space to move what’s been stuck.

Women have been supported through motherhood, grief, illness…

“It’s like therapy for me. This last series supported me as I was processing my husband's death.”

“It has become part of my tool kit and a resource for looking after myself and living well.”

“These sessions are my reset button.”

There’s a resonant community of women… moving, feeling, being… together.

The next series starts on 22 April.
Six fortnightly sessions on Zoom led by Leela Fisk.
14 women.

There’s space for you: https://dandelion.events/e/womensummer2026

We have something very special for you.

A brand new series to gather women and move in conversation with the coast 🌊

Body & Voice is a series of seven day-long workshops and one introductory morning, led by Leela Fisk and Shashi Salma Darling, supported by Kate Reed.

Together we will open to the land, to voice and to our senses, awakening our connection with the body, with each other and with nature.

We meet indoors for morning sessions, and explore different locations on Devon's incredible coastline in the afternoons.

You are welcome to book individual sessions or join the full arc of the series.

Sessions 1 & 2 are for Women of Colour only - offering room to gather, move and explore in shared lived experience.
Sessions 3–7 are open and inclusive - welcoming all women.

Shared spaces where both parents and children can move, play and express are far too rare, we think.

That's why we created Family Dance, a relaxed drop-in session for families who love to dance freely or want to try. No choreography, no pressure, no performing, just music and movement.

Open to all ages from babies to oldies - dance doesn't give a flying fox about age! 🧡

Join us on Sunday 1 March
10.45am – 12.15pm
