Body + Soul Sunday: Dance your heart open!

In BodyMagick Temple we dance free of guilt and shame and strut into our most glittering manifestations — shining our light for all, but most importantly for ourselves.

We begin with a JourneyDance guided movement meditation to release shame and anxiety, calm your nervous system, expand your capacity to be with your emotions, and build Self Love.

After a food and rest break, guest instructor Vanity Thorn guides us in an exploration of empowerment through Burlesque with “So You Think You Can’t Dance?” Explore the basics of burlesque dance in a setting that emphasizes accessibility and inclusivity.

More than learning steps, this is for discovering dance as a powerful expression of your personal allure and confidence, regardless of your dance background.

All bodies welcome, no prior dance experience needed for either class.

Cost:

$27 advance registration for individual workshops
$42 to attend both

Honoring the dead is an age-old and cross-cultural practice. This time of year is when the veil is said to be thinnest between the walking/waking world and the Spirit world. It is a time to pay tribute to, call upon, give thanks, and remember our Ancestors. Join in community and honor our ancestors together. Immerse yourself in the healing sounds of 7 Crystal Bowls spanning the chakras, complemented by other sound healing instruments. Take some time to Relax, Renew, and Listen. This session will consist of a short, guided meditation followed by an extended Crystal Bowl Sound Bath. This sound healing experience will bring you on a journey that supports your physical and emotional well-being.

The SomaSpace Women’s Circle is guided by the belief that gathering together with other heart-centered women is essential for optimum health, growth, and empowerment. We have the opportunity to join together and help guide the world back into harmony. 

Each circle holds the value that all people are wisdom-keepers with unique talents, perspectives, and richness to share. When you take the time to sit in circle with feminine energy and share with an open heart, getting real and raw, it renews your strength and power. Together we will explore new realms of thinking and being, and engage your autonomy and agency to be the best version of yourself!

The flow of new members and monthly regulars at this circle creates a unique blend of energy, with emphasis on empathy and deepening experiences together. Each unique group shares the vulnerable truth of being alive in this moment and together we strengthen our capacity to be present and hold open, non-judgmental, loving space for others. Facilitation will be grounded and consent based, encouraging you to be present in your body.

Come however you are, regardless of where you find yourself to be ~ bright, gloomy, tired, energized, struggling, peaceful or celebrating ~ the space for you is here! Women across the vast gender and race/ethnicity spectrum welcome! Queer friendly space. 18+ or must be accompanied by a parental figure.
