Hello! I would love to hold a Women’s Healing Dance Circle at your workplace/yoga studio/girls night/club/festival/private gathering, wherein I give a hands-on lesson on the ancient healing art of conscious dance. I’m a social worker from the Pittsburgh region. I’m currently writing a book on the neuroscience behind ancient healing practices such as drumming and ritual dance, and their practical use in modern day trauma therapy. Conscious dance/ecstatic dance is particularly useful in treating trauma and anxiety, and I will dive more deeply into the therapeutic benefits in my upcoming book. I have used heathen songs, where we channelled our inner shield maidens, embodied our spirit animals, and felt our magic grow within us. I can also use music and meditation to create dance circles with themes of female empowerment, shadow work and transformation, grief and healing, gender-affirming dance workshops for our trans sisters, celebratory dance circles with fun pop music or just about any theme you can think of. First we will have a short prayer/intention and a warm up, which consists of some stretching, shaking, and of course, primal screaming! Then we will dance and raise our energy with a combination of lively songs and slower songs. Then we close with a short prayer/intention. It’ll take about 45-60 minutes depending on the amount of talking I do in between each song. I can dress up in full Viking or medieval witch garb for the occasion, or even as a pirate, an angel, a fairy, or just about anything that correlates with our chosen theme. I can also facilitate the dance circle in athletic attire if costuming is not desired for the venue. I keep my fees very reasonable because I believe healing should be accessible to all. (I will add a small travel fee if the location is farther than a one hour drive from Beaver Falls PA) Message me for booking information.
