What is it?

Movement Sanctuary is a lightly facilitated, deeply held exploration of free-style, Conscious Dance. We offer an opportunity to dive into your body and soul, listen with reverence, and flow authentically. This is a practice of presence, self-inquiry, creative-expression, community-connection and healing.

We will share a beautiful wave of music for you to slowly and safely arrive, soften-in, expand, & explore a journey that we hope will leave your nervous system feeling soothed, happy and regulated. You will be supported with somatic explorations, while listening to your body's needs and desires.

For adults, Age 18+ Every-body Welcome. No experience necessary.

A bit about us and what we bring to the dance floor:

​

For over 15 years Melanie has had the honor of serving highly-sensitive, empathic spiritual seekers through her passions for massage, energy medicine and dance rituals. She is an experienced massage, QiGong & Tantra practitioner, ecstatic dancer and witchy ceremonialist.

She invites you to show up with intention, play wildly and to be open and curious to what kind of magic we co-create!

Melanie is currently taking the Kundalini Dance teacher training program with Master teacher Layolah Antara. 

This spiritual dance practice is based on a foundation of Tantric Shamanic Alchemical Healing Arts. 

It's a very intentional form of ecstatic dance, where you are guided on a journey through the Chakras. To balance, harmonize, and align all your bodies, (physical, mental, emotional, etheric, spiritual.) with your soul essence and purpose.

Through the Kundalini Dance alchemy practices one can transform any ancestoral or karmic beliefs that hold them back from shining as an embodied sovereign heart centered leader. 

​
