Take a transformative journey of self-discovery through whirling, guided and free-style dance, meditation, and mystical teachings.
This workshop is designed to guide you on a path of profound inner exploration through dance and whirling, helping you harness the power of now and connect with your higher self as you shift from being head-focused to heart-focused.
Shifting from the mind to the heart is a journey that invites us to transcend the limitations of logic and embrace the wisdom of love. It’s a transition from overthinking to feeling, from doubting to trusting your inner guidance, tapping into a wellspring of wisdom, authenticity and compassion.
The heart connects us to the infinite unified field of love consciousness from which our true self emerges. This shift is not about disregarding the mind, but rather harmonizing it with the heart to create wholeness through a heart-mind coherence.
No practice brings us into the present moment and connects us with the unified field of love consciousness as effectively as whirling!
When you surrender to the alchemy of whirling, you’ll move beyond the personal and collective stories that have traumatized and limited you. You literally move the stories to break them open and transmute and heal the traumas, so you can feel yourself as a “Ray of divine majesty” (Rumi).
In this workshop, you will…
- Learn to be present in the moment
- Decode the mysteries of feminine wisdom teachings and claim your birthright to take up conscious residence in your body with love — both tender and strong, receptive and discerning
- Transform sensations of fatigue, depression or anxiety into lasting exuberance, joy and serenity as you put love into action in your life!

- Dance to free yourself — and cultivate strength, dignity, passion, wildness, audacity, and courage
- Dance to live with nobility and poignancy — to hold both the joy and the pain as inseparable dance partners, let wild grace inspire and carry you
- Learn to trust your deepest understanding and unleash your wild sweet nectar through timeless, sacred dance, whirling, free-style dance, chanting, mystical poetry, meditation — and lots of laughter!
- Gain transformative tools for living creatively and passionately in your day to day life and make a true positive contribution to our world
Whether you are looking for a deeper connection to your life’s purpose or simply want to dance to feel ALIVE
this workshop is for you!
