TENDER TERRAIN

What happens when we can't move like we used to? 

When our bodies call for slowing, softening, and reimagining the way we dance?

This 4 month program is designed specifically for those navigating physical limitations, temporary or chronic, visible or invisible. Whether you're healing from a recent injury, navigating chronic pain, aging, pregnancy, the journey to menopause, or tending to long-held wounds, TENDER TERRAIN offers a compassionate and supportive space to move, feel, and reconnect. 

Rather than pushing through pain or retreating from the dance entirely, we learn to listen more deeply to the messages of the body. 

Our changing body becomes a wise guide, asking us to move slower, with more intention, with more curiosity. 

In these sessions, you are encouraged to let go of how it should look and lean into how it truly feels.

Through online Zoom sessions, facilitated playlists, and writing prompts, you’ll be gently invited to explore how your changing body can become a teacher. With each beat and breath, you’ll uncover new ways to express, adapt, and listen to the quiet wisdom within, navigating emotional landscapes through movement and mindfulness.

• Four recorded curated movement sets with verbal facilitation by Shauna

 • One 1:1 Embodiment Coaching Session 

This is for all bodies navigating the tender terrain of change, this is a space to move with what is, and to discover what’s still possible. Whether you are long time dancer or new to conscious dance, this is an invitation to explore how it is to live and dance with a change in our body.

Together, we reimagine what it means to move, to participate, to belong.

 Together, we learn to navigate the dance floor—and life itself—in new and compassionate ways.

Come as you are. 

Move as you can. 

Discover how much is still possible.

This journey invites you to honour your resilience, your story, and your body's ever-evolving truth.

HARD TIMES REQUIRE FURIOUS DANCING

 Hard Times Require Furious Dancing

~Alice Walker

Hard times demand courage, presence, and movement. In a world that is fast, unjust, confusing, heavy, uncertain, and often overwhelming, dancing together becomes a radical act. 

Our dance is a pathway to reconnect with our bodies, our truth, our community, and our interconnectedness.

In this daylong 5Rhythms workshop, we will:

• Move what’s moving you: Practice following impulses, letting the body lead, tuning into what you are holding.

• Move with the tension and the stress: Surrender to the chaos, soften, shake, and release.

• Open to what is possible: Clarity, presence, and truth.

• Connect with others: Share, witness, and be in community.

This workshop is open to all, no experience of the 5Rhythms is needed. The day will include dancing, plus creative, reflective, and collective practices.
