DANCE FOR HUMANITY

Is dance where you feel most alive, at home, and free? Where you get to connect with yourself on the deepest levels for healing, peace and joy? Then, this space is for you! 🙌🏽🙌🏻🙌🏿🙌🏾

Dance for Humanity is a sacred space for all people who cherish dance as a way to connect deeply with yourself, others and life.💫

Come dance to release and uplift your energy, move through challenges, and explore and play! Dance to celebrate and call in the energy and experiences you most want in your life. 💃🏻🕺🏿💃🏾🕺🏼

-–

You’ll be guided through a special, community dance ritual where we’ll dance (free-flow) to a playlist of inspiring world music together.🎶

For each song, you’ll get to explore inspiring intentions & prompts to access states of being, like passion, power and peace, that will fuel you way beyond our time together. (Space to move and explore as you wish is also provided.)💫

Enjoy fun, energizing explorations on your own and as a community to call in the best possible outcomes for you, each other and the world. 🎉🌍

-–

Come unlock the wisdom and fulfillment of your body that your mind alone cannot access. Enjoy truly memorable moments with yourself, creativity and others that will fuel you forward and you’ll look back on with deep satisfaction.🙂

Dancing is such a powerful act of liberation – of embodying who you most want to be and what we most want to create in the world – which now more than ever, we truly need.💙💚💛🧡💜❤️🖤🤎🤍

I can’t wait to see you there and dance all the amazing possibilities with you!💫

With love,

Jen Earls, she/hers (Your Facilitator)
