When we dance, we connect with a profound wisdom that has traversed through all forms of life for millennia. From the intricate movements of bees to the graceful glides of whales, and from the gentle sway of trees to the ever-changing flow of clouds, dance is a universal language. Rituals and ceremonies centered around dance have been integral to countless cultures, although many have been disrupted or concealed through colonization. Dance as ritual, ceremony, therapy, and engagement with life serves as a gateway to transformation, healing, and emergent consciousness through state-shifting.
In this course, we will immerse ourselves in the medium of our bodies, movement, and dance. Our exploration will be guided by the Polyvagal-informed Dance/Movement Therapy© (PVIDMT) framework, which intertwines Polyvagal Theory with sacred dance and movement. This approach blends client experience, mentorship, and deep immersion in both Polyvagal Theory and personal sacred dance practices.
By integrating principles from this framework, which honors both scientific and spiritual dimensions of human healing, we will delve into somatic pathways for state-shifting. Through structured somatic and movement-based practices, theoretical insights, and experiential dance, we will engage with the PVIDMT concept. We will embrace and illuminate our inner darkness, allowing it to shine forth as a testament to our transformative journey.
