𖢻 Dance Sanctuary | Embodied-Dance Temple | Moving with this Holy Messy Dance of Life 𖢻

“Inside the chaos, build a temple of Love” - Rune Lazuli

What is longing to express, shift, move and be moved inside of you?

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Welcoming your stuckness, your fierceness, your tenderness, your longing, your confusion, your passion, your longing, your confusion, your passion, your humanity, your divinity:  to move and be moved.

Welcoming the subtle waves of your emotional body, your chattering monkey mind, the radiance of your inextinguishable soul, and the miraculous vessel of your body that is DESTINED to move and be moved.

Welcoming ALL of these parts (and whatever shades in between) to come to MOVE and be INCLUDED on this dance-floor-of-life: welcome to DANCE SANCTUARY, a bi-monthly embodied-dance temple | to move with this Holy Messy dance of Life

𖢻 Being human, divine, messy, perfect, becoming & un-becoming all at once 𖢻

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////

💎 Calling in the Ancient-Modern-Medicines of DANCE, MUSIC, CONSCIOUSNESS & RITUAL-TOGETHERNESS--into the heart of our Berlin urban landscapes—as resourcing tools to MOVE with the complex landscapes of Life & living in these times:

Re-connecting the disconnected parts, reigniting our humanity, and celebrating our inter-connection to ourselves and to all of LIFE through DANCE: this is the intention, the invitation, and the prayer.

💎 These evenings will be guided by various embodied practices to honor the inter-connection between our bodies-minds-emotions & soul, to summon an anchoring of embodied-presence into the body & our relationship with Life.

Each session will work with various themes –weaving in the collective intelligence of Now –as well as ritualistically opening the space to DANCE, MOVE, PRAY, EXPRESS in whatever way Life is longing to move through you: a Dance Temple, an offering, a prayer, a meditation in movement, a Sanctuary.

💎 This is a space to welcome Dance as a HEALING & DEVOTIONAL Art Versus a Performative or consumptive Art: Dance as a way of calling back our connection to our bodies and spirits, welcoming transformation through the grit and grace of moving with WHAT IS.

These evenings will be guided by DJ Alma Omega/Maegan Gorbett, a Mystic-Creatrix-Rebel-Healing-Artist who has been professionally Djing for over 20 years, a devote dancer of various (underground) cultures for life-times, a certified Open Floor Dance facilitator, and is currently returning to Berlin to ANCHOR in the practice & exploration of dance-movement-ritual-prayer-community for both inner & outer transformation, for these potent times...

💎 Dance Sanctuary Flow:

• WELCOME: Doors open at 19.15 and close promptly at 19.45. Please note entry after 19.45 isn’t possible. Music will already be playing in the space at 19:15, and you're welcome to drop into the space, into your body, and into a gentle warm up. From 19:30 I'll offer some guidance.

• OPENING YOUR ATTENTION: Please enter the dance-space in a non-verbal fashion (leave your words in the changing room), and dive into WARMING UP your body, arriving, sensing what is alive, what are you bringing with you, what is longing to be moved? Give yourself permission and time to drop in.

• ENTERING & EXPLORING: After a juicy warm-up, we'll gather to explore the theme for the evening and dive into a ritual opening & open the Dance Temple...the space will be guided verbally with prompts, invitations & inspirations to support a deeper anchoring into the dance. You are invited to FULLY follow the AUTHENTIC wisdom of your dance, your expression: however that looks like...The guidance is intended to aid in MOVING and INCLUDING whatever is present, and bring it into transforming-movement: solo, in contact, as a group, & with connection to spirit/life-force...most importantly, follow the inner-guidance & mastery of your own dance.

• SETTLING: we'll take time to settle at the end of these explorations & the larger dance flow: to allow the impulses and experiences to find their end-pulse...the space will be open afterwards (with some snacks) to connect, reflect, harvest before you enter out into the Berliner-Saturday night.

  • If money is an issue for you (or if you would like to support the team with the space) please reach out to me: alma@alma-omega.world

💎 What to bring/expect:

• Wear clothes you love to move in, and love to sweat in: there is a shower and a proper changing room at Center for Dance.

• Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, maybe a snack for afterwards: try not to eat TOO much before moving, but also don't come too hungry. Nourish yourself.

• Leave your phones off/in your bag, and please do not interact with them during the dance (No shazamming-talk to me after the class if you like a track!).

• A WHOLE VARIETY of different music styles will be played (on a REALLY NICE sound system by the way): to represent the various colors and textures of life...you are invited to use the music to aid in the mindfulness of your dance: and be authentic with what is moving YOU (not just how the music is moving others)

• This is not a DJ set or an Ecstatic Dance: I will be on the microphone to guide various moments on our journey...this is more of an exploratory embodied-laboratory: see how the guidance given can support you...and you are the master of your dance (and your life), so also follow your own guidance over anything else.

• EVERYONE IS A DANCER: may we bring in this prayer of remembering this truth...this is not a performative art, but a healing and transformational art...allow yourself to be surprised, and open yourself to witness whether you are moving out of HABIT or CHOICE...let's embody the freedom of consciousness that aids in this exploration.

• COME AS YOU ARE, BUT COME SOBER: please refrain from any mind-altering substances before coming into this space so that you're vessel is free from interference (and won't interfere others).

• THIS IS A SANCTUARY: a space for refuge, reflection, expression, embodied-nourishment on various levels of our being...and it takes a sudden village to hold such a space. Please come exactly as you are (I seriously mean that), and please come with honor and respect for what others are bringing with them...let's remember the art of being human, as we also remember the art of leaning into the “more-than-human” world that longs to deeply support us...May we be DANCED: by life, by spirit, by these miracles of our bodies and souls in flesh.
