That very difficult question arises ‘What do you do?’
And I try to put it in a nutshell, avoiding saying ‘I’m a dance teacher!’
But that is probably the easiest thing to understand, but this work is so much more than that!
I might explain further – It is the work I have always been doing and being. I aim to bring more awareness to the individual stories that we hold, to reclaim a sense of a healthy innocence and to understand that we all share an inherent birth right, that is heart centered and creatively abundant, whilst asking the questions, ‘Who am I, why am I here and what is it that I should be doing with my life?’
These few questions can and will take us on an incredible journey of soul searching if we are willing to go there. And why? Because without that level of soul searching, we end up disgruntled with life, unfulfilled, anxious and eternally worried!
It’s that simple, because something is missing and we have missed the point of why we are here! Chasing our own ‘tales’, quite literally without knowing why.
My own personal aim is to face and come to terms with my own tale or story, to understand how certain behaviors serve me, how some do not serve me and to be able to understand the differences.
We all need mentors and support from people who have walked the soul seeking journey before us, so that is what I offer. To do my own work as deeply and effectively as possible, so that I can support others with theirs. It doesn’t mean that I am further on than most, I believe we all learn together and we grow together and when I can support others, I gain from that experience too. Once anyone has moved forward within this program, they are then able to support another with their growth, and so it goes on.
What I have created is a method to do this, through creativity, heart and body based movement, meditations and by allowing in a higher power. I try to be very direct with people, to help them understand where they are trying to control their lives, their outcomes and to push beyond their natural boundaries.
I try to direct the movement and heart based creativity into a deeper state of awareness and states of consciousness. Therefore we use conscious dance, meditation process and constellations to create that awakening in us. Then we track our stories and gather the information that they give to us, journeying deeper into the creative cauldrons of our own potential.
We enter into the mystery of life itself, not alone but together, in a never ending journey of real life experience. This is in no way out of the ordinary, but is about finding the extraordinary-within-the-ordinariness of every day living.
We do our best to get out of the way of our own thinking mind and to navigate unknown territories for moments at a time. By entering into some of those territories myself, I now help to guide others along those pathways and landscapes.
I make no promises in this work. The journey is an individual one and only you can decide the level of commitment you wish to make. I can never tell you what is best for you or advise you in what I believe the right direction might be for you. What I can promise is that I will listen, share my experience, hold a level of safety and encourage you to find the deepest fulfillment you can, what ever that means to you.
