We dance in Devotion to Connecting with our truest selves with dance and breath, sweating drops of liquid dreams & pounding our prayers into the earth herself.
This month, gather to DEVOTE yourself in service of living in the present moment, and remembering what you are devoted to for the year of 2023. We open our channels to celebrate life, celebrate you, celebrate everything. Let’s dance.
What is dance church?
it's a way of connecting with the divine, of worshiping this existence in whatever way you choose. Church is something I went to multiple times a week - my mom ran the choir and special music, my dad was treasurer/vp, my grandparents helped to found it, my nana the secretary.
I remember countless hours dancing to music in my head (or walkman) amidst the pews and in the halls, in the church libraries and gathering halls, the prayer walks and woods outside, trying to connect with some glowing man in the sky in ways that other people told me I should be spiritual. Sometimes I would feel it, other times I just had a great time, other times I felt empty. Most times, I felt elated after dancing and moving my body.
I always connected to this "something bigger" through movement most.
I realize that whatever it is I was reaching outside of me for is actually inside me, now, an expression that IS me. I don't subscribe to any religion, but do believe that we as humans are part of something bigger. Even if that's just science, or nothing... . that's bigger than just 1. :)
So I invite you to come pray in your own way, with your body as your temple, and worship at the altar of gratitude. Bring your own layers of spirituality, they are all welcomed here.
We are in a constant spiral dance of letting go (with the full moon) and calling in (with the new moon) - and I invite you to co-create ritual in rhythm each month.
Participants should bring a journal & wear clothes to dance and move in.
