Guided Movement for Women and Red Tent Temple
Victoria will guide movement from 5:30-7pm, after which the sacred space of the Red Tent Temple will be open for gathering, relaxation & restoration from 7-9pm.
(*A Red Tent Temple is a sacred space to rest and be, for all women. For more details on what a Red Tent Temple is, contact Space 2033.)
Victoria will use blended practices from hypnotherapy, butoh dance, and somatics to lead a gentle embodied investigation into the subconscious realms. Through subtle physical exercises aligned with energetics and visualization, you will be free to release deeply into your inner world and tune into the mysterious language of your body and spirit. Butoh is sometimes called “The Dance of Darkness,” and in honor of the Winter Solstice, we will have the opportunity to connect to our intuitive energetic or physical womb-space and inner wise feeling nature, and explore the play between unmanifested darkness and birth/creation/light. In this guided Therapeutic Trance Dance/Movement, you can expect to move and be moved, to release, and to deeply connect with your body and spirit.
