Dance Scapes - Somatic Practice with Rosie Perks

Movement Medicine®, Internal Family Systems & Processwork. Dance Scapes is the umbrella for workshops, courses and individual sessions with Rosie Perks.

Somatic practice that weaves the intelligence of the moving body with the inclusivity and kindness of systemic understanding. Dance as a practice is a highly efficient tool for processing our experiences, traversing our emotions, and getting to know ourselves better. Dance Scapes with Rosie integrates the somatic practice of Movement Medicine® with Internal Family Systems, Processwork, trauma awa

reness and systemic understanding. Movement Medicine unites the liberation of free dance with the awareness of mindfulness, the depth of therapeutic understanding and intelligence of shamanic practice. This is supported by the kindness and inclusivity of IFS and Processwork practices that help us to listen to our internal system and how this relates to external systems. Creating a trauma informed, nervous system aware environment that supports
us to explore our humanity and emotional terrain with courage, compassion and curiosity. This is somatic practice for the times we live in, rooted in our connection to the natural world and the cycles of life. Returning us time and again to the home inside our hearts, the nourishment of our bodies in motion and the love of a dancing village.

One of my favourite things about the Initiation workshop is the love that forms in the room.

By the end of our 9 days together, there’s a special kind of magic that has come through. We’re not the same people we were when we walked through the door on our first day.

As we move through the stages of life together, people become more present, more themselves and more together. A love begins to grow in the room, the kind that comes from being witnessed and from witnessing others.

From that place of connection and resource, we often find ourselves more able to face the parts of life that can’t be controlled or expected. This doesn’t mean we have the answers, but we feel more grounded in who we are and more supported to meet what comes through.

We are feeling our excitement build as we draw closer to the workshop. Will you join us?

Bursary Fund - Momentum for Community Caretakers & Changemakers 2027 - Expression of Interest

Are you a community practitioner or frontline worker as well as a dancer?

Many of us in the dance community also work in caring, therapeutic or community roles - and carry both worlds with us.

Momentum 2027 is a six-month programme combining Movement Medicine, Internal Family Systems and Processwork (Arnold & Amy Mindell) designed for people who want to bring more kindness and resilience to their inner world, and bring this into how they show up for others.

We're applying for funding to make it accessible to practitioners and frontline workers on lower incomes. If you work directly with people facing disadvantage or difficulty - whether as a therapist, social worker, community facilitator, educator, or in any other frontline role - we'd love to hear from you. Even if Momentum isn't right for you personally, you might know someone it could be perfect for, or have a network you can share it with.

Filling in this short survey (5-10 mins) helps us make the case to funders that this support is needed. By filling it in, you can also choose to sign up to be priority contacted when the Bursary Fund opens for applications (subject to funding).

If we had a hope for those who come to Initiation, it would be this:

That as you journey through the stages of your life: conception, birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and beyond, you find a sense of completion.

That you discover something about yourself you didn’t know when you first walked through the door and that what you learn enriches the rest of your life.

Perhaps most of all, that you leave with more kindness and understanding towards yourself, towards the many places inside you, and from there, more kindness towards those you meet in the world.

If this resonates, we would love to welcome you.

What do you do when something in you, or in the world, feels disturbing?

Often our first impulse is to push it away, but what if we tried something different?

We start by finding ground so that we might come back to what feels known and resourced. This allows us to find refuge in what is steady and supportive. From there, we can get curious.

When a disturbance arises, whether it’s an inner conflict, a strong emotion, or a life experience that shaped us, instead of trying to eliminate it, we explore what it might be asking for.

What does it want to be met? What is it supporting us to grow into?

Movement helps here because it takes us out of the mind’s habit of fixing or analysing. The body has its own intelligence. When we keep following what is moving (even subtly) we stay in relationship with ourselves rather than shutting down.

During Initiation, as we move through the cycles of life, we will meet both the smooth and the crunchy places. We’ll welcome all of this and allow our experiences to become our teachers.
