Medicine Dance Sessions

Exploring the elements

A conscious movement practice embodying and exploring the five elements

 

Conscious movement practice

The movement practice is based in moving consciously with the five elements earth, water, fire, air and ether. We do this with the support of different rhythms and intuitive guidance that give space for a lot of exploration and free expression. It is an experience that moves us thoroughly and intuitively on a journey through the five elements, the inner experience of the movement and our different aspects of ourselves.

The focus is on the inner feeling and experience of the movement and with the help of open and invitational guidance your own creativity in the moment will be supported and stimulated. When we move the practice is to embody the elements and the feelings, emotions and sensations that they, the music and all other stimuli awaken in us.

It is a beautiful and very meditative and yet expressive journey that connects us to deeper parts of ourselves and life.

 

 

Native American Teachings

Holistic teachings of a native american medicine wheel will at some sessions be a part of the journey to support the understanding of the elements, self & others, health, how to use energy in a balanced way and much more.

The holistic relationship of native teachings bring a lot of beauty and understanding to life that many people in the modern world has lost and find very helpful to support harmony and balance.

 

Ecstatic dance

The easiest way to describe this dance is ”free movement to ecstatic music”. It is a more of a upbeat session with club and house music with very little instructions.

 

Trance dance – Dancer in the dark

This is a session with deep trance music that invites you to go inside blindfolded whilst moving at your own pace and in your own way. Some sessions will be with slower trance music and some with faster, higher bpm (beats per minute). A deep movement meditation and inward journey for body and soul!

 

Shamanic drum journey, dance* and sound healing

This is a session where we create a sacred and ceremonial space for inner exploration, celebration, healing and expansion. A space where you will be led into deep relaxation and then invited to an inner journey guided by the beating of a shamanic live drum.

You will have the opportunity to explore and set an intention for the drum journey during the deep relaxation and then travel inwards with the drum and your intention meeting up with your power animal (beginners will be guided to find theirs). This is an ancient journey practiced by native people for millennia, for health & healing, insight, wisdom and more.

After this you are invited either to an ecstatic dance (free movement to ecstatic music) or a trance dance or a medicine dance session where your own creativity can flow and be expressed freely, before we end the session with a beautiful live sound healing for continued healing, exploration and integration.

Which of the different dances (ecstatic dance, trance dance or medicine dance) it will be is of course communicated in the event invitation and not a surprise when you arrive.

Short teachings of a native american medicine wheel as mentioned above might be part of these session as well.

A beautiful process supporting your life and well being.
