The movement and dance practices offered under the banner of Being of the Earth are invite you to connect more deeply to your body, express what’s alive in you, and reconnect to your innate capacity for resilience, presence, and aliveness. This is not about performance or choreography—it’s about reclaiming the intelligence of your moving body as a vital resource for healing, regulation, and change. Becoming more embodied is part of playing our part in creating a more just, equitable and flourishing world for all beings.

In a world that often pulls us into disconnection, and overwhelm, dance becomes more than expression—it becomes medicine. When we move with awareness, we support our nervous system to release held tension, restore balance, and return to a state of greater safety and flow. Integrating principles of nervous system science, trauma-informed care, and dance, Being of the Earth movement spaces welcome your whole self welcome—body, heart, mind, and soul, in whatever state, mood, circumstances you may find yourself.

The practices we use help you to gently explore your inner landscape and respond to life’s challenges with more flexibility and capacity. Through rhythm, breath, and embodied presence, we cultivate regulation—not by overriding or pushing through, but by attuning to what is here and moving with it. Over time, this builds pathways of trust within your system: a sense of "I can move through this, I am not stuck, I am not alone."

Whether you feel full of emotion, disconnected from your body, or you are simply longing to move and feel more alive, this is an invitation to come home to yourself and to the world—again and again, and to take what you learn on the dancefloor out into the world in ways that create positive change.

Our bodies are full of wisdom. The intelligence of life which evolved over billions of years also lives in our own bodies. However, this wisdom has been covered over by layer upon layer of unsupportive, if not outright oppressive cultural, ancestral, familial and personal stories. Our dominant culture prioritises ‘rational thinking’ over feeling and the sensory experience of our bodies. And an entire industry is focused on making us feel that we are not enough, deeply disturbing our connection to the body.

Through our movement practice, we can reclaim our connection to the landscape of our body, inhabit ourselves more fully and find our way back to the support, guidance, vitality and joy inside ourselves. As we begin to be more ‘at home’ in our bodies, we start to bring healing to our disconnection and increase our capacity to meet life’s challenges from a place of resource. We bring our habitual patterns into consciousness and thereby open the door to change.

Embodied practices are a resource in times of challenge and change, because they help us to remember and connect to the greater holding that is available to us from the ground, from the Earth and from Spirit. They are also vehicles for awakening to the systems of oppression that we live in and that live in us. Our intention does not end with personal healing but recognizes that the personal and the collective are deeply intertwined and that one is not possible without the other. To become embodied means to wake up to our responsibility of learning and unlearning, and taking the actions available to us to create liberation and change.
