In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, one of the four questions they would ask is "When did you stop dancing?” - Gabrielle Roth
In a SYS class, we create a sacred, safe, communal space to reconnect with our bodies, return to presence, & come home to our essential nature through movement and dance. We will re-awaken our visceral energy, release tension, and play as we join in guided movements and are given the freedom to find our own personal expression. Brene Brown denotes plays as one of the ten attributes of the whole-hearted -- those who are living from a place of wholeness rather than shame. She describes play as time spent without purpose, an activity where we lose ourselves and that we don’t want to end. Please come and play!
Lauren Going, LCSW-C received a clear message during a vision quest this spring that creative movement and dance were a fundamental part of healing not only for herself, but also to share with those who feel called. Taking a leap of faith, Lauren received her training with Dan Leven in Shake Your Soul over this summer. Not a dancer by training, she comes to her teaching from the deep belief that everyone can dance, and that dance is as natural to us as walking. Lauren brings her training and experience as a yoga instructor, yoga nidra facilitator, trauma specialist, psychotherapist, and background in the theatre to create a safe space that allows for free expression, fun, transformation, and healing.
