JOY! — A Free Movement Experience

About the session

This is not a dance class. There are no steps to learn. No choreography to master. No performance to perfect. JOY is a free movement experience for women who are ready to remember something their bodies already know — that we were made to move, to express, to feel, to celebrate. That healing doesn't always happen in stillness. Sometimes it happens in the hips, the breath, the laughter, the reach of arms to the sky without apology. Our ancestors danced under the rain. They moved by the fire. They sang to call life forward. JOY is our remembering. What we do together: Each Thursday evening, we gather in an intimate group of up to 10 women and move through: * Opening & Grounding (15 min) — arriving in the body, settling the nervous system * Free Movement (45 min) — led by music that travels through continents and generations: drums, Universal rhythms, Afro-soul, and world sounds that speak to something older than language * Cool Down (15 min) — returning gently, integrating what moved through you * Sharing Circle (15 min) — witnessing each other in our shared womanhood No experience required. All bodies. All ages. All versions of yourself welcome. About the Facilitator: My name is Rosario. I'm a Pachakuti Tradition Mesa carrier, Munay Ki rites medicine woman and Reiki Master trained in Lucknow, India. I've been rooted in Port Moody, B.C. since 2016 and my goal is to hold and promote safe spaces and opportunities for men & women to return to wholeness and grow in community. What the community is saying: "In the last few years I completed the 3 Levels of Reiki training with Rosario. All sessions were clear, focusing on using the methods, trouble shooting, & ongoing supports provided. Rosario's compassion, gentleness and depth of knowledge of the healing arts is amazing! She is a gifted helper and I feel so honored to know her. And to know that she is doing this important work in the community! I also recently finished the Heart Centered Intuition class which was amazing and stretched me to consider more tools and techniques. If you get a chance to take part of her sessions, I highly recommend you do so! - Sandra Martin Harris" * Everyone deserves access to joy.
