For thousands of years women have experienced the healing and transformative powers of Womb Dance/Belly Dance. Like so many art forms Belly Dance has its roots in reverential and ritual worship; particularly linked to Mother Goddess and the feminine creative principle. Its is an enchanting embodied language encoded with the ancient stories of birthing, life cycles, creativity, celebration, elemental magic and divine energy.

Not only is it beautiful to behold and witness but it also works from the inside out healing, opening and enlivening both the physical and energetic bodies.

In this 9 week course we will open to the mystical power of The Dance as we align with the deeper meaning of serpents, undulations, waves, spirals, circles, infinity loops. We will embody the essence of Earth, Air, Water and Fire as we activate experiential connection and communion with the elements as the fabric of life itself. 

Every two weeks we will move through an element. Sedona will teach her Elemental Embodiment Flow associated with each element, we will also have the opportunity to make our own embodied connection to the element in freestyle and formless moving meditations. Each class will open and close with a guided meditation, associated goddess connections, sharing/integration circle and group altar building. In addition to the Form and Formless Dance flows we will also learn a spoken ritual invocation for each element as well as an embodied sequence to accompany it.
