Dancing Practical Priestess

“We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars…the stars form a circle, and in the center we dance.” Rumi, 13th century

Your inner priestess forms the part of your consciousness that directly connects you with the Divine. When activated and practically applied to any area of life or creative pursuit, the priestess within helps you bring Spirit into the physical world. The priestess archetype deepens your ability to fully run the energy of the Divine through the temple of your body and dance in step to the sacred rhythms of nature.

After ten years of facilitating over 30 priest/ess circles, introducing conscious dance in workshop after workshop, presenting a Dance of Creation Convergence last year, and all of this on top of over 20 years of teaching hundreds of young dancers and training dance teachers, I feel it is time for the Dancing Practical Priestess™ Process.

My personal experience with activating the priestess archetype within deepened my ability to fully run the energy of the Divine through my body. Until I did that, I was only able to reach a certain level of connection while dancing; despite years of spiritual development and other metaphysical study (all of which was important in other ways).

The priestess within me has gradually remembered and reconnected to the dancer within, and together they are able to powerfully channel Divine Essence into the physical realm. Additionally, through this type of dance, I find a richer level of guiding insight and energetic movement in my life.

I have found that a Dancing Priestess honors the rhythmic cycles and seasons of nature, and of life. She learns from, and works with, the natural timings of the earth, sun, moon, and stars and dances in step to these sacred rhythms.  She observes, values, and expresses through her movements he relationships between earth and sky, nature, and humanity.

In families and communities, a priestess brings awareness to the way change effects life by creating time and space to honor life passages. She creates dances and ceremonies that recognize the transitions of birth, puberty, a new job, the loss of a job, marriage, divorce, menopause, elderhood, and death.

A priestess may counsel, support, and lead others in a sacred dance during times of crises, transition, healing, and creation. She may assist through by dancing, prayers, meditation, deep listening, or simply being present and bringing awareness and attentive witnessing to a situation.

A dancing priestess brings the sacred into form by connecting to Divine energy in her creative pursuits including dance, art, writing, music, theatre, ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations. She uplifts the community by finding ways to ecstatically dance herself and help others find ways to move.

Deeply connected to her spirituality from the inside out and able to apply it to her daily life, a dancing practical priestess may also be a member of any religion or have connection to none. She may connect to the Divine in nature just as well as in any home, church, synagogue, or temple. As a dancing priestess, she brings the Divine essence through her own body temple and expresses the sacred through her movements.

If you feel drawn to activate your inner dancing practical priestess and powerfully strengthen your connection to the Divine, please plan to join me in either the 5 weekend format or for those who prefer a condensed process (great for travelers), the 5 day intensive format. Sorry guys but these first two are for women only as they are based on feminine movement styles.

Location will be in the Atlanta area. The exact location will be determined once I have a sense of the number of dancers attending.
