Monthly Movement Practice

We’ve all seen the recent headlines : “New study shows dancing is best exercise to combat depression”

Dance offers benefits like improved self-esteem, mindfulness, confidence, and social connection. It’s a well researched form of somatic therapy.

There is a tremendous amount happening physically with increased endorphins, neurotransmitter activity, and elevated heart rates.

When we lose ourselves in dance, we find a sense of wholeness and connection. When we dance we get out of our heads and into our bodies. We connect to the here and now.

Dancing in Community: A Monthly Movement Practice is prepares your body to move, shake, heal, and thrive. We connect with our beautiful bodies, shake out the gunk from our systems, create some space from within, and tap into some joy, connection, and perspective.

You don’t need to learn any steps or choreograph but Alison will guide you through the practice.

Flow through each movement and feel your body come into it’s own. Reflect afterwards with journaling as you sort through past strife and look to a new future.

Alison has been connecting women women in safe spaces through retreats, events, circles, coaching, and other holistic wellness practices for decades and this offering is an opportunity to dip into the work. She is passionate about holding these containers for women to come, be, feel, open, grow, and heal.

Magic happens each time we enter this sacred space. We come as we are full of courage and vulnerability. We leave a bit more transformed.

This movement practice is an opportunity to engage with Alison’s work when it fits with your schedule. Come once or monthly. Bring friends or attend solo.
