dancing to heal
with Suey Mendez
βIn many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask, "When did you stop dancing?β
~Gabrielle Roth
Did y0u know that the body remembers and traps in its cells every single pain, trauma, anxiety, fear, joy, and stressor in your LIFETIME!?! Did you know that somatic healing (body based therapy to help you heal on a cellular level) can release that dis-ease from your body!?
For centuries, healers and shamans have used dance to remove stagnation, revitalize the spirit, and release any pain and suffering creating an inability to MOVE physically, emotionally or spiritually. Can you imagine reconnecting, reclaiming, recalibrating YOUR body alongside other brave folx, simply by allowing the body to fully move THROUGH emotions?
Join Suey for a monthly hour long group where they will assist in helping you creatively engage with emotional, physical and cognitive processes through dance, somatic and sacred movement. Take time out to allow yourself to safely explore and express what you may not be able to fully put into words so that you can begin to create an increased sense of safety within your own body in a safe, judgement free, loving and affirming environment.
