šŸ”„ This is KL’s last regular slot before she moves to Nelson! šŸ”„

Join me for my last Dance before I head off to Nelson, and the last dance in the Church before we take it outside for summer.

I’m still deciding on the playlist, but as always, it will be LIT!

For those of you who don’t know me, you know I’ve been passionate about both yoga and dance for decades. I trained with the incredible Shiva Rea in Prana Flow Yoga and Yoga Trance Dance, and I’ve spent years curating playlists & finding DJs that push boundaries and inspire liberation.

We’ll begin by setting our intentions in a circle, creating space to ground and center before we dive into a journey of ecstatic movement. This is your chance to release, let go, and reconnect with your wild, liberated self. šŸ’ƒ

We’ll close with slow integration, stillness, and a final sharing circle to bring it all back to the heart.

Come as you are—leave feeling lighter, freer, and more connected to your truth. ✨

I know it’s sunny outside now, and the light lasts way longer… but remember, no one ever regrets coming to dance and we LOVE having you in the space. YOu only get one chance every two weeks right now - so GRAB IT!

Let’s dance to set ourselves free. See you on the floor! šŸ’„

MVMNT MEDICINA
DJ CEREMONEE

—

MVMNT MEDICINA is an invitation to embark on a transformative movement journey of self-discovery, connection and liberation.

DJ Ceremonee guides the Circle in ceremonial style through song, sound and silence to allow for our movement to be the medicine we need to shift the energies within our bodies, minds and hearts.

The multidimensional mixes of DJ Ceremonee are Medicine for the Soul. A tapestry of sonic resonance is woven by the eclectic fusion of electronic grooves and soul-stirring tracks that are energized with human generated sound. An immersive space is created to give in to the magic of ecstatic dance and surrender to the natural rhythms of life.

Every beat drops us further into a Divine Journey that connects us to Sacred Life force energy. The deeper we go, the more we grow.

Who’s missing dancing every week? I know I (KL) am! Super stoked to be back THIS Thursday, May 15.
