Journey Dance: Shadow Alchemy

JourneyDance™: Shadow Alchemy Sunday, April 6, 20253:00 PM – 5:00 PM@The Sanctuary, Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick, MA (Free Parking)
What if the parts of yourself you’ve been resisting- your fears, frustrations, doubts, and desires- weren’t obstacles, but portals?
JourneyDance™: Shadow Alchemy is an immersive movement experience designed to guide you into the depths of your inner world, where the raw, unfiltered aspects of self can be met with curiosity, movement, and transformation. This is a space to reclaim the parts of you that have been hidden, suppressed, or misunderstood—to move with them, rather than against them, and alchemize shadow into wisdom, angst into art, tension into freedom.
What to Expect:* Grounding & Intention-Setting – We’ll begin by creating a safer, permission-filled space to drop into the body, attune to sensation, and welcome all aspects of self.* Guided Movement & Shadow Exploration – Using evocative music and gentle prompts, you’ll be invited to move through emotions rather than around them- allowing suppressed energy to be expressed, honored, and released.* Connection Practices – Experience somatic exercises that deepen self-intimacy and cultivate a sense of collective support in the group container.* Integration & Reflection – We’ll close with grounding techniques to integrate your experience, ensuring you leave feeling centered, resourced, and empowered.
This is your time to express fully, feel deeply, and move freely within a non-judgmental, sacred container.
Come As You Are. No dance experience is needed—only a willingness to explore. Whether you’re seeking release, clarity, creative flow, or a deeper sense of embodiment, this space is yours to reclaim.
Important Notes: Substance-Free Space – Please refrain from consuming recreational drugs or alcohol before or during the event. This is a sober experience. Outdoor Shoe-Free Space – We dance barefoot or in indoor dance shoes. Fragrance-Free Space – Please avoid wearing perfume or strong scents.
Facilitator Bio:Sandra Rose is a trauma-informed JourneyDance™ facilitator (since 2017) and a Certified Spiritual Sexual Educator, with a passion for guiding movement experiences that awaken deep embodiment, self-expression, and personal transformation. With years of experience in somatic healing, ritual, and intuitive movement, she creates permission-filled spaces where individuals can explore their bodies, emotions, and energy with curiosity and freedom.
Sandra’s facilitation blends hypnotic guidance, evocative music, and somatic awareness, inviting participants to drop into their bodies, release tension, and reclaim their innate wisdom. Her unique approach bridges sensory awakening, emotional alchemy, and sacred embodiment, offering a space where movement becomes a catalyst for profound self-discovery.
Sandra is dedicated to creating safer, non-judgmental spaces where participants can move beyond self-consciousness and into full, authentic presence—whether through shadow exploration, sensual embodiment, or the liberating power of dance.
Learn more about Sandra’s work at: www.TheSomaticPathway.com
What to Bring:* A filled water bottle to stay hydrated* Clothing you can move in (like for a yoga class) + layers for warming up/cooling down* A journal & pen for reflections (optional)* A personal yoga mat or blanket for floor work & final relaxation (optional)

About the Book: Embody by Toni BerginsEnhance your JourneyDance™ experience with Toni Bergins’ groundbreaking new book, Embody: Feel, Heal, and Transform Your Life Through Movement—a powerful guide to deepening your practice of self-expression, healing, and transformation through movement.
