About Earth~Rhythms
Long ago when the Great Goddess and the Earth were revered as sacred, it was woman who embodied and knew the mysteries of Life and how to invoke the primal elements of nature for personal and planetary transformation.
Earth~Rhythms is a sacred journey of reclaiming our relationship with nature and with Life. Through earth connected movement, dance, rituals, reflection and sharing we create a space to re-connect with the deep knowledge of the elemental energies in the Earth and in ourselves. Re-aligning with the eternal, life-giving energies, within and without we will explore our
stories, our lives and our dreams.
Grounding your spirit in the rhythms of Nature through the 'old arts' we remember story of
the Earth as our story, waiting to be expressed through you in all its diversity,
color, passion and power. Turning to the Earth as lover, friend and
guide we open our hearts to the vast universal truths that have been
present since the beginning of time and available to us all.
Earth~Rhythms is a life-affirming, deeply healing, transformational and extremely joyful evolutionary experience.
“We sometimes fall into the illusion that power
is elsewhere. Nothing could be further from the truth. The earth oozes
with power, waiting for anyone who wishes to embrace it. But we need to
remind ourselves. Who reminds us? The rivers, plains, galaxies,
hurricanes, lightning branches, and all our living companions.” Brian

Experience a Transformation with Earth~Rhythms
Ancient and holy, dance says YES! to the authentic joy and celebration
of who you are. For centuries woman have known the power of ritual and dance as generators of life-energy; reconnecting us to what is true within and around us.
Deep inside we know that Earth energies dance through the body, shaping us, calling us forth into our creative wholeness. In the
Earth~Rhythms workshop we learn how to consciously connect to these
energies for personal and planetary transformation.
Attuning to Earth’s rhythms we gently shed old culturally imposed
beliefs and step into the refreshing, creative and dynamic energies of
life. Dancing the rhythms of nature opens the energy pathways of the body, chakras and the heart.
In a safe space, held within the embrace of our Earth Mother, you may experience breakthrough and transformation, as healing is brought about on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. Sometimes slow, sometimes dynamic, sometimes still, each rhythm merging you with the energies and spirit of Nature.
The benefit from the Earth~Rhythms Experience:
The power of woman coming together to reclaim our authentic connection with yourself and nature allows you to:
- Access an ocean of energy available from Nature
- Reclaim the vitality, confidence & self-love that reconnection with Nature brings
- Bring meaningful ritual into your life
- Break through old rhythms that restrict your authentic self
- Harness the healing and transformational power of Air, Fire, Water, Earth & Ether
- Reconnect with the guiding intelligence of the seasons and of the moon
- Balance your feminine & masculine energies to create empowered lives
- Become happier, more spontaneous & creatively alive
- Celebrate the unfolding of Woman Spirit in this beautiful Dance of Life
Earth~Rhythms is not something you do; it’s what you are.
The Process
Does dance evoke the soul, or does the soul of Nature use the dancer for its expression? Each day will include instruction, experiential sessions, writing exercises, interactive dialogue and integration time. We will be outdoors, in the elements as much as possible.
Movement and meditation done in Nature re-attunes you to the animating
powers of Life.
What happens in the Earth~Rhythms?
Each day we will use a diversity of body-centered practices to re-connect with the elemental forces of nature and earth. Earth~Rhythms is an organic process that requires deep listening to what is needed in the moment. For this reason every Earth~Rhythms workshop is different, depending upon the experience and needs of the participants. We 
encourage authentic, spontaneous and expressive explorations. Incorporating feelings, memories, and creative impulses are welcomed elements in creating the matrix for your experience.

give up making their beautiful, wild noise. The world won't end if we
can find them."-
