What to Expect (see the agenda below for an overview of the experience):

• A Safe Container: Step (barefoot) into a substance-free, sacred temple with no talking, no technology, and no judgment, but a lot of respect and consent.
• A Workout: Stretch and warm up at your own pace. Loosen your joints. Enjoy a safe and fun workout that improves flexibility, endurance, strength, and coordination.
• A Meditative Practice: Connect with the present moment and let go of external stressors. Through somatic movement, your body shifts out of stress mode and enters a meditative state of flow.
• Emotional Healing: Experience pure joy, liberation, and freedom, while allowing your body to naturally release whatever no longer serves you—stress, tension, old emotions, or stagnant energy—leaving you lighter
• Unlock Creativity: Awaken new ideas, receive valuable insights and inspiration, break through creative blocks, and explore new ways of expressing yourself.
• Confidence Boost: Quiet the inner critic, move beyond fear of external judgement, and grow your self-confidence as you dance without inhibition.
• Community Bonding: Meet new, like-minded people and connect in a more intimate and meaningful way with others.
