A weekend for women to nurture and celebrate our sacred sexuality with Julie Deal & Deborah Jay-Lewin

An invitation from Bodysurf Scotland to a 5Rhythms weekend for women to nurture and celebrate our sacred sexuality. Enter the Secret Garden and explore, through dance and ritual, the richness of being a woman. Our body and sexuality is strongly connected to the rhythm of nature, it is a natural source of energy and pleasure. In our busy lives we easily lose touch with this sacred connection to our deepest selves. When we reconnect with the power of our sexuality we feel the vitality of being alive and all aspects of our lives are nourished.

The 5 Rhythms are a transformative way of reconnecting all the parts of us that become fragmented; healing and guiding us towards wholeness. It's an improvised dance practise with limitless possibilities. It helps us to release stories and energies which block our natural energy. In the dance we move our struggles and challenges as well as our joy and pleasure. The dance floor is a safe place to experiment with the different shapes of our energy; wild, tender, passionate, vulnerable, playful, innocent, sensual, creative... By bringing awareness, movement and an open heart into forgotten places we become our own healers.

The power of a women's circle is to embrace and celebrate each other as women, so we can step forward into the mystery that we are and enter our own Secret Garden. Every woman who loves to dance and is willing to explore is welcome, no matter what age or level of experience.

Julie has been running workshops, moving and dancing as a spiritual practise since 1990. She is a 5Rhythms® teacher, director of Soulwave, a mother, a wife, a grandmother, a passionate human being striving to wake up and help others to do so in these times of great change. Her work is a tapestry, woven with the different approaches, teachings and experiences that have inspired her own healing journey.

Price is £150 standard, £120 NFA and £100 conc. 25% deposit. To book, please contact Bodysurf Scotland, +44 (0)1309 691661, admin@bodysurfscotland.co.uk or go to www.bodysurfscotland.co.uk.
There will be an evening on Friday 5th March in honour of International Women's Day which will be open – to all women and men in frocks.
