Dance, Intimacy, Connection & Fun

Last Saturday, I held the space for the "Remembering Your Authentic Voice" women's circle. 

During the intuitive dance, I really got that I LOVE INTUITIVE DANCE and that I could just do the intuitive dance events. And when one of the beautiful souls mentioned afterwards that she'd never been to a circle with intutive dance, I realised, oh, that's MY THING. That's what makes me and my women's circles different.  I'd been struggling with creating a point of difference as there are a LOT of women's circles out there.

My body loves to move and in that movement process, I find myself releasing "stuff" - such as emotions, stories, limiting beliefs, masks, etc. In this space emerges clarity where I can hear the messages from my heart and my soul so much more clearly. It's a process I really benefit from and obviously love. And it was participating in Kundalini Dance Journeys that got me started on that pathway!

So I am inspired to bring the intuitive dance component to the forefront of my Wild & Wise Women's Circles. That's why moving forward, I'll be promoting my events as Wild & Wise Women: Intuitive Dance & Sacred Circle (and as always, that name is a work in progress!). 

In addition, during the women's circle on Saturday, I was recommending a lot of resources around dance, intimacy, connection events, fun and excitement - which I'd love to share with you as well!

Take what works for you and ignore the rest.

1. Dance

Kundalini Dance with Patricia Silverwolf (Gold Coast)

I've done several Kundalini Dance Journeys with Patricia and I highly recommend her. Kundalini Dance is using movement, breath and sound to activate and clear the chakras and central channel from root chakra to crown chakra. I think Patricia has put a hold on her group Kundalini Dance Journeys and is focusing more on Shamanic Breathwork events.

Ecstatic Dance Brisbane with Adrian Mornay (Brisbane)

I've only been once and really enjoyed the experience. Adrian starts off with a short circle experience (all genders) where you get to reflect and share with each other. He has a HUGE group so we move into smaller groups of 4 people for the circle part. Some dance events are combined with a Cacao Ceremony or Yoga.

Shake It In the Shadows with Tania Emiliani (Brisbane)

Tania runs monthly expressive dance therapy events at BrisWest Centre, Paddington. The event includes a lovely, intimate circle so that you can connect and share, along with free flow dancing in the dark, following by a reflective art process. I've been once and I really enjoyed my experience. 

Tania also runs monthy Connect & Thrive Catch-up Dinners in Brisbane, which I've also been to and are great for connecting with like-minded souls. Tania chooses a different restaurant each month.

5Rhythms with Honor Morningstar (Brisbane)

I've not yet been but am keen to try it out when it fits into my schedule (as I teach on many Friday nights).

No Lights No Lycra (Brisbane)

This is basically dancing in the dark so probably not as community focused as other dance events unless you arrive early or stay later to have a chat with others.

2. Intimacy & Connection

​
Authentic Relating International (global)

This is a global organisation. Authentic relating is the practice of relating to others with vulnerability, honesty and an open heart. I've done the level 1 course online and have attended an online session. However, I've yet to attend a Brisbane meetup.

Bree Taylor Molyneux (Brisbane)

I love how Bree talks about expanding your range. I recommend Heart-Led Intimacy (an intro level offering which I'm doing again in July) and Fierce Love Immersion events. I haven't tried the more advanced events as yet.

3. Fear, Excitement & Fun

Making Space For Fear 

There was a discussion around making space for fear on the road trip of your life is from the book "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert (who also wrote "Eat Pray Love"). 

I did a video about this last year and read out the letter to fear. 

Check it out here (Wild & Wise Blog)


Follow Your Excitement 

This is from Bashar, a channelled energy through Darryl Anka in the USA. Bashar provides the instruction manual for how life works:

• Act on your highest passion** every moment that you can.
• Do it to the best you can, taking it as far as you can until you can take it no further. 
• Do it with no insistence, zero assumption whatsoever on what the outcome is supposed to be. 
• Stay in a positive state no matter what manifests. Because whatever it is that manifests has got to be there for a reason. Even if it’s something that you objectively don’t prefer. If nothing else, manifesting something you don’t prefer gives you a much clearer picture by contrast of what you do prefer. 

** Passion includes all of its expressions - excitement, happiness, joy, creativity, love.

In the latest newsletter from The Playful Warrior, Kara shared about the Space Elevator:

When reading one of Brene Brown's book (I think it's in The Gifts of Imperfection - highly recommended), she quotes Dr Stuart Brown, founder of the National Institute for Play: https://nifplay.org/

"The opposite of play is not work - the opposite of play is DEPRESSION"
~ Dr Stuart Brown
