Are you looking for a unique and special way to celebrate Valentine’s? Yes, come play with us! You can make it a date. Head out to an early dinner afterwards and enhance your celebration of love.

When you dive into the mysteries that are held in the deep-body, anything is possible. Are you open to spark a conversation with all the layers of your body to receive - through its aliveness, it's sacredness and knowingness, and through movement- the soft whisper of your love story?

Are you ready to take an 'embodied journey’ together through dance, movement, sound, breath, storytelling, ritual, and play to more fully understand and integrate your LOVE STORY in an deeply nourishing and new way? Your LOVE STORY is one the greatest stories of your life!

You may or may not know the depths of your love story. You may have a lot of insight already to a version that has unfolded thus far. Maybe your love story is ready to shift in ways you never thought imaginable.

In your love story, is there a fierceness or a tenderness? Is there a longing for a love that you have not touched; a shying away from or going toward? Is it soft and velvety or rigid and reaching or receiving? Is it erotic? How does it feel in your body when you are met the way you truly want to be met? Can you touch it; taste it? Do you make time for it? When you remove the vails, remove the protective skins, is there an ecstaticness, sadness or joy for that which you are experiencing or have experienced so far? Allow yourself to be touched by love. Do you feel yourself slipping into the abyss of loneliness or emerging? Would you like to learn more, deepen, transform or shift your love story? Together, let’s discover and express!

Participants will learn to unearth their body’s intelligence, deepen relationship to body, earth, self and other, connect body and psyche in new ways, have a deeper understanding of how they give and receive love, AND transform their experience of love and loving.

No prior dance experience necessary. Just an open mind, heart and curiosity.
