“Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness. . . . We dance to shed skins, tear off masks, crack molds, and experience the breakdown – the shattering of borders between body, heart and mind . . .” — Gabrielle Roth
“The weekend was deeply healing and profoundly transformational. The space was held with such care and integrity that I felt safe to fully express every part of myself, free from fear or judgement. The music carried me on an extraordinary inner journey – at times wild and primal – and I was in awe of the each beat of the drum moved through me. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to myself and Spirit. I cannot wait to return for more dancing, dreaming, and discovery.” Olly
“I danced my story, with my body, my voice, my words and spirit, and the music had an energy and power that took me further than I believed possible.” PB
Through movement and improvised music, beginning by meeting in words and movement on Friday evening, we build community and trust, opening deeper into the enquiry of what may help us to shift and grow.
Trance Dance – a magical catalyst for patterns to shift – emergence to happen.

This is a potent time for setting intentions for the year ahead and confirming our prayers in ceremony.
The practising of spontaneous movement within a field of live sound and rhythm is what is offered as Alchemy in Movement. For as in alchemy of old where substances were transmuted from one state to another, we step into the vessel of sound and movement and are profoundly changed by that process.
