Soul conversations in the dance ♫⋆｡
I’m writing to you from the mountains this week, as I deepen my knowledge through an immersion training in Embodied Dance Journeying and Therapeutic Enactment / Sacred Theatre. It has been a rich, soul-deep experience of getting even more raw and real with the language of the body, and how we can meet parts of ourselves and their stories through non-performative, therapeutic dance. How we can renegotiate old narratives, limiting beliefs, and tender wounds through dance, when combined with presence, creative imagery, and connection in community.
This training experience has been weaving new threads into the rich tapestry of the work I offer here. I’m gathering more tools, yes, but more than that, I’m diving even deeper into the endless wisdom that the body holds, to return with even more potency and presence for what we co-create in our group containers.
More nuance. More depth. More of what makes this work come alive.
There is so much ripening. I can’t wait to bring it back to you.
My whole life, dance has always been one of my main pathways to connection to myself (and, dare I say, even the divine as well).
Non-choreographed, embodied and intuitive dance can evoke emotion, help you process activation, digest life experiences, ignite healthy aggression and power, connect with imagination, inner child parts, and drop into the body with curiosity and compassion.
Dance that is raw, in-the-moment spontaneous, expressive, juicy, and DEEPLY alive. Not for anyone else. For you.
An act of devotion.
And devotion is language of the goddess.
And one of the most beautiful acts of devotion and reclamation as a woman is re-belonging yourself TO yourself. Through reclaiming sensuality, owning your body as yours, and embodying confidence and authenticity.
Especially in a world that teaches women to *perform* connection (a fawning response), reclaiming your true voice and self is a radical act.
Last week, I shared that I’ve been reclaiming confidence in new ways.
This week, I want to offer you something that’s been part of that unfolding for me.
I’ve always loved dancing alone in an empty room or empty apartment. But lately in the past year or two, I’ve been sensually dancing alone in my loft (for no one else but me) and it’s been SO healing.
There’s all sorts of sensual and sexual reclamation happening out there in the world, but most of it feels really performative… instead of reclaiming your erotic confidence just for you, and starting from that place.
Getting to know your embodied YES and embodied NO, because that really is the ground work. The foundation that a lot of us skip over. So I’ve been dancing alone in a sensual way, just for me. And if you feel the pull, I’d love to invite you to do the same.
To support you in your own curious exploration, I’d love to share with you 2 Spotify playlists I created for reclaiming HER.
Craving to lean into sensuality? —> this playlist is for you 🌸
Curious about something spicier? —> this playlist is for you 🌶️
(hit shuffle on this one!!)
An invitation to dance in your living room (or your kitchen, or your bedroom).
Not to perform.
But to feel.
To express.
To bring forth your unique, confident self.
To heal the deepest parts of yourself through un-inhibited, intuitive, creative movement that shines from the inside out ✨✨✨
This work keeps evolving, and I’m so grateful you’re a part of it.
With love from the mountains, Ayesha xx
p.s. I highly recommend solo dancing as medicine. Truly. Let HER out. No choreography, no performance. Just intuitive, uninhibited, expressive movement. Put on your favourite song or playlist and MOVE 💃🏽✨🪩
