Dance of the Shadows
A Playshop Embracing the Mysteries Within
Join us for this incredibly fun, dance and movement Nia playshop led by Tamara Albright and featuring live DJ - Soma Jaya! As the days become shorter, the hours of darkness slowly increase. We are moving into the season of shadows, and with it, an opportunity to delve deeply within.
Many women within the community experience pressure to "put on a happy face" and to behave a specific way in their daily lives. While positivity, kindness and joy have their beautiful qualities, women are complex beings and experience a plethora of emotions beyond those of love and light. During this lively playshop we will dance, kick, block, howl, hiss and growl (just to name a few) - allowing the many aspects of our shadow selves to emote, express and be embraced.
You're invited to dress in costume or however you enjoy expressing yourself. The most important thing is that it feels good to you and that you are able to move around freely upright and on the floor. We will dance barefooted to connect to the stability of the earth and utilize the agility of our feet. Please bring water for yourself to stay hydrated. *Please note this event will be held at a women only facility. Email us today to reserve your space in this unique and dynamic event!
