What is Movement Medicine? Ali says: "Shamanic dance, known as Movement Medicine, as a form of active "journeying", will be the main teaching method in these workshops. Please be reassured that as long as you like moving to music that is the only level of proficiency required. This is absolutely not about performance or skill but rather the pleasure of following what and how the body wants to move. Movement medicine will deepen your connection to yourself, your creativity and the integrity and guidance of your own soul". Please wear layered, loose clothes suitable for movement and bring bottled water, a notebook and pen.
Most shamanic cultures believe that social and collective health requires being in active relationship with those they call the ancestors.
This means communication and sometimes even gift giving.
Dancing "Behind the Veil" you will have an opportunity to tune into the unseen realms. It is highly likely that if you simply stop and allow yourself to be aware you already know which of the unseen realms needs tending to.
It might be a visit to a grave to offer flowers, it might be a quiet thank you, it may be speaking your truth to someone who has already "passed", it may be asking to be freed or blessed.
This workshop will employ dance, ritual and shamanic journeying to transform whatever needs seeing to at this juncture in your life.
This workshop is taking place in-person at our college in London
