‘Awakening the Womb in the Dreamtime’
An Invitation for a Transformational Journey into Your Bellydance Power….
Awakened Bellydance is multi-faceted, transformative, self-awakening process which travels far beyond the realms of the usual Bellydancer. It is perfect for all women who have an interest in movement for healing. An intuitive remembrance and reclaiming of your sovereign dancer transports you into intuitive flow and surrender through a heightened awareness of the body, mind and emotions as energy when you move with intention.
Creating a respectful, supportive sisterhood is paramount whilst gently and organically leading you on an authentic path to self-discovery. Using traditional Middle Eastern dance techniques, Sacred dances from around the world, breath and energy work, meditation, yoga and conscious communication. We naturally raise our vibration as we dance into our divine self.
Bellydance is a captivatingly beautiful dance filled with mystery and sensuality. Like Yoga it has been around for thousands of years, it has the capability to integrate feminine and masculine energies into the body bringing a woman into wholeness and out of the bondages imposed by the self and society. Kundalini energy is activated through hip and belly based movements as we align with the geometric spirals of the universe. This creates a womb filled with power which if nurtured in the right way can lead to limitless potential and manifestation. However, in modern times as the origins and secrets of Bellydance have faded into ‘his-story’ dancers also experience the shadow dancer as the energy can stagnate and become trapped within the lower chakras manifesting control, judgment, competition, structure, conditioning and ego.
Dancing through our own perceived blockages within individual and collective journeys we move in soul resonance. Observing what we need to heal, learn and dream we will explore and experience our own innate power. Katie will guide and share her extensive knowledge instilling a gentle confidence inspiring you to continue on your transformational path of ‘dancenlightenment’. This deep knowing is a powerful tool for self-empowerment, propelling you forward on your visionary soul path which you can then share with others in Your own Awakened Bellydance classes.
As we connect authentically to the self we embody and activate the womb; the heart of Bellydance and a sacred vessel for your Kundalini energy. Each woman’s womb contains all of creation since time began – past relationships, old patterns, traumatic births, wounds, problem periods and sexual abuse. That’s yours and every woman throughout your family ‘her-story’ and as a collective consciousness!
When we bring awareness, compassion and light to the shadow self we give our bodies permission for expression, freedom and joy. Connecting womb to heart to re-programme, restructure, unlearn and activate our bodies’ energetic pathways. As we acknowledge and surrender our conditioning, control, the ego and trauma; life can also be fulfilling, self-healing and filled with love!
This is an invitation to experience You – embrace your Awakened Bellydancer! She who moves through the veil and removes it with heart and soul! Perfect for all those who wish to integrate and rejoice in their absolute and deepest femininity whilst unashamedly claiming the absolutely fantastic dancer they were born to be!
For teachers, performers and all women who would like to go beyond the mind into deep surrender and trust within the heart. Awakened Bellydance will expand your existence to transcend into endless possibilities! Creating a greater level of authenticity and connection with your students, audiences, life!
Absolutely no Bellydance or dance experience necessary, just an open heart to Be.
