Shakti Dance
Ecstatic Movement for Women
Unplug yourself from ordinary reality and dance your way into the Sacred!
“If you can walk, you can dance. If you can talk you can sing.”
~ Zimbabwean Proverb
Shakti Dance, the foundation of all Shakti Woman events is a shamanic movement experience that looks like stretching, sweating, and stomping, rolling, hooting, howling, shaking, and breaking down the walls that protect our hearst from feeling.
With world, tribal, and inspired music, Shakti Dance is not only a great work out, it’s also a ‘work in’! This is a transformative, communal movement experience!
Simple, guided movements synchronized with your breath will open your heart, relax your mind, and strengthen your body. Guided somatic explorations and the freedom of expressive movement rejuvenate you from the inside out!
Join us as we move through universal feminine energies including ~ flow, sensuality, fear, chaos, power, playfulness, stillness…and more!
Experienced dancers and newbies alike are ALL WELCOME!
Embrace and move with your inner SHAKTI!
More: Shakti Dance is the foundation for all Shakti Woman offerings. It is based on the principles of yoga and traditional sacred dances, but is neither. This is a fluid, non-linear, introspective, interpersonal, trans-personal, and expressive practice based on feminine intuition.
Through the Shakti Dance experience, we explore, express, and move with our emotions, soul stirrings, and inspirations. We open more fully to ‘what is already there’ through movement, vocalization, and awareness of the body, emotions, breath (which represents soul).
This practice unfailingly increases the level of presence and radiance we have with ourselves, each other, and the truth of the moment because it is based on what is actually present and happening in the room. Shakti Dance is an incorporation of self directed somatic exploration, vocalization, and dynamic prayer in motion.
Shakti Dance is about taking the time to stop doing and simply BE, which is the truest expression of feminine essence. During our practice we find that delicate balance between stillness and movement, and between the personal and the communal. We learn to move WITH the pulse of Shakti within, weather that be profound grief or unbounded joy…and all the fuzzy places in between.
Together, we become a great, radiant, pulsing force.
If you…
:: Love world music and dancing with your own inspiration…
:: Yearn to find that deep, steady connection to yourself…
:: Are ready to remove your mask to reveal the most authentic expression of yourself…
:: Value community, woman-only time, and sacred space…
:: Feel the need to shake down the walls within…
…This practice is for you!
An established relationship with your own intuition and previous body awareness experience is helpful to get the most out of this practice, but all levels of experience are welcome!
