NEW YEAR OVERNIGHT CEREMONY

The turning of the year is a wonderful opportunity.  It is a time to reflect, honour and celebrate the year that has gone.  And it is a moment to renew our love for ourselves and for Life.   And what better time to shed the skins of old unhelpful patterns, and step refreshed into the future?
 
In this two day workshop we will have time to dance, and talk and share.
And there will be a deep ceremony in which to surrender to something MUCH bigger than ourselves, and receive support from the mystery that lies at the heart of everything. 
 
We will dance and workshop all through the day of Hogmanay.
And then after nightfall, we will open a ceremonial space, in which to dance and daydream and write and meditate.  We will dance till beyond midnight… welcoming 2025.
And then (still deep in ceremony) we will sleep and nightdream.  And in the morning, we will capture the wisdom and wildness of all our dreams and longings, and fully embrace and the potential and delight of the brand new year.
 
Where: The Woodland Canopy, Falkland Woods, KY15 7AF
Time: 11.30 on 31st December to 4.30 on New Year's Day 
Cost: £120 / £100 if paid in full by December 1st.

​Dancing with Life 
An ongoing group dancing with the seasons 

“Dance first! Think later!!” That might seem like very odd advice.  Movement Medicine teaches us that it is the best advice you could get. Quite simply the bigger our feelings are, the stronger our dancer needs to be. The ‘strength’ of the Dancer lies in becoming more and more aware of what is going on for us, and more and more able to move the body to get some support for the intensity of our experience.  
​
“Set the body in motion and the psyche will heal itself” Gabrielle Roth.

We will use the tools of Movement Medicine and the rhythm of the Celtic Medicine Wheel to take the dance a little deeper; and to allow the wisdom and joy you experience on the dancefloor to have a deeper impact on the rest of your life. Nature is such a wonderful teacher for us.  And a beautiful resource.  This is a dive into how Movement Medicine can support us to open our hearts to all that is possible.  It is an ongoing group, and there is the possibility of mutual support with the small community that dances together all through the year.
