“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ~ Anaïs Nin

Many, or even most of us, have experienced harmful life events. Stressful or even traumatic experiences leave behind shock and numbness in the body. Dealing with old wounds costs a lot of energy and can cause somatic and psychic symptoms. Unresolved stressful and traumatic memories tend to block the natural flow of energies in our body, mind, and soul. We survive and compensate, but the day comes when we choose to heal on a very profound and deep level.

"Trauma is not what happened to you, trauma is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you." ~ Gabor Maté

‍We all have life experiences that impact how we move through our days and live in the world. These experiences might be traumatic, could manifest on our dancefloors, and be visible in how our students react in classes/workshops.

In Dealing with Trauma on the Dance Floor, we’ll learn how we can respond to what we see manifesting before us, in a skillful way. We’ll explore embodied interventions that can support us in finding competent, conscious, intuitive, and individualised ways of supporting a student’s process while maintaining healthy regulation of the nervous system. So that growth and learning is enhanced.
