Relational Healing via Ecstatic Dancing

Ecstatic dance in Newtown, Connecticut

I’m no stranger to isolation. It was a survival tactic for most of my life. Turning 50 nearly two years ago marked opening myself up to relational healing. Not alone! Among communities where our pain points overlapped in our quests for healthy relationships, not just romance, but ALL relating.

I’m also no stranger to dance as a potent healer, moving energies that otherwise can’t be moved by way of speaking. Emotions safely felt through movement are visceral, somatic, and primal. This is why I’ve been a fan of the mindful spaces that make the Ecstatic Dance international communities for over a decade. Mind you, I never really could connect beyond the dance floor until now.

For those who also relate to feeling isolated but long for connection. I invite you to join in. Ecstatic dance is a safe haven for self-expression, and somatic movement to help movers release inhibitions, process emotions, and connect spiritually or deeply with themselves and relating to others, as desired.

This is a sober and conscious space, where talking is left outside the dance floor and barefeet are encouraged to ground and feel the floor beneath our feet in celebration of our humanness.

Come with an open heart, intent to move, a clear mind, and curiosity to explore. No experience with dance necessary!

Here’s the link to join June 6th, from 6-8pm at the Newtown Wellness Collective.

Sharing is Different from Promotion

I am not sure if I’m trying to win some sympathy here but it’s not easy to promote your business when your legit purpose is to actually support people’s healing journeys.

In this culture of consumerism, scams, fads, funnels, and click bait, I’ve actively avoided marketing my business for fear of coming off salsey, to me, it’s the most offensive ick there is, being a spiritual person, and averted by materialistic values.

I shot myself in the foot for decades because of my own hang ups around traditional marketing. Well, I’m 51 for just a few months longer, and I see now that I’ve essentially been hiding from people in an effort to salvage my identity as an authentic wellness practitioner and educator.

Dare I call myself a Healer?

A part of the problem is that the word “healer” is deemed as arrogant and cause for skepticism. The problem is this; a true healer can not cure you, a true healer helps you to heal yourself. That relationship is sacred, and you don’t just shop for one online.

Sharing has a different energy from promotion.

Maybe it’s just semantics, but it feels more like energetics in reality. I’ve been in the world of wellness for most of my adult life. It’s beyond overdue to get what I know to the people who need it. Feel free to send me a message through my Contact page or set up a 15min chat to ask me any questions. I’m here for it!
