Join Judez for Imbolc, her first 'Celtic Calendar' Conscious Dance at The Retreat on Saturday, 1 February. Imbolc is a festival of light, which celebrates the awakenings of spring after the long, dark winter. Imbolc is a traditional festival that is midway between Yule and Ostara. This is a wonderful opportunity to dance and gather in community around the fire celebrating new growth, manifestations and new life.
The event begins with an opening circle and meditation, followed by our conscious dance session with silent revolution headsets in the Centre Studio, where you are welcome to dance as wildly or mildly as you wish to. We then gather around the fire for a ceremony, sharing reflections and a closing circle. You are invited to socialise around the fire afterwards.
Conscious Dance is an embodied practice of movement and free flowing dance that integrates emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. We embark on a movement journey allowing moments of gentle flow, natural rhythm, release, elation, stillness and reflection. Our dancefloor is a conversation free zone, which helps to immerse you in the process. When we move, we can quiet the mind and innately embody the rhythm of the music, freeing our selves and opening us to new perspectives. There are no steps to follow, just your own feet and your own heartbeat moving spontaneously to an eclectic array of music. There will be moments of guided meditation and others where you can deep dive into the music.
What to bring: a water bottle, loose clothing you can move in, layers are a sensible idea as you will get warm when you dance, a warm coat for outside. You are welcome to share a poem or song that has significance to you for the festival of Imbolc. You may also bring an offering for the fire or a natural token for our altar.
Please contact Judez for more information on info@sunfiredance.com or on our website: www.sunfiredance.com.
You are invited to dance with us at our Celtic Calendar Wheel of the Year events at The Retreat.
