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
• Worksheets and creative inquiries to support your emotional and physical navigation in a framework to honour your pace and limitations with care and presence

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.

EMERGENCE : EQUINOX
Online 5Rhythms with Shauna Devlin
March 22
9:00-10:30 pst | 12:00 est | 5:00 gmt
Every six months, the equinox splits day and night almost evenly, offering a moment of balance - a day celebrated by humans since ancient times. Gathering at the equinox connects us to the rhythms of the cosmos and the cycles of nature, reminding us of our interconnectedness, wonder, and belonging. The Spring Equinox brings renewal, fertility, and awakening - a seasonal threshold.
In this ceremonial online 5Rhythms session, we will move and be together to honour this time - a final farewell to the dark, a precious moment to pause, resting in the balance, and then a surrender to the many gifts of the light.
What’s included:
• 1.5-hour live online 5Rhythms session
• PDF Reflections + prompts
• Recording of the set
