Beauty and the Beast

The journey of the Masculine and the Feminine

“In the moment of true ecstasy, we die to ourselves in love, and this surrender itself is our sweetest pleasure.”
David Deida

•   Have a greater understanding of where men and women can expand to become/return to wholeness.

Unmask your True Potential

unmask_2 Our self esteem and self image are developed by how we talk to ourselves derived from our unconscious and conscious memories. Some of this talk is negative chatter or “the inner critic”.
So as the war inside each of us begins, the critic becomes the enemy within.
We try all different things to shift this enemy either through fighting or fleeing yet what I know in my bones is that you are free the moment you stop fighting or fleeing.

The course offers:

• Life skills that will access your personal power and build a healthier sense of self.

• Encouragement to assume responsibility of your inner world so that your true potential is reflected back to you in your outer world.

• Resources to establish a good relationship with your negative self talk in a way that will help you make better decisions and create some peace and harmony inside your own mind.

During the course you will connect with aspects of yourself through;

movement
story
process
journaling
ceremony
And the creative

Trance Dance

Trance Dance is a unique blend of body movement, healing sounds, dynamic percussive rhythms, transformational breathing techniques and the innovative use of a blindfold or bandana - together stimulating a 'trance' state that promotes spiritual awakenings, mental clarity, physical stamina and emotional well-being.

Driven by unique musical soundtracks recorded specifically for this method of healing, Trance Dance takes participants on an inner journey not limited to our normal perceptions of space/time. Ritual trance journeys have been a vital part of shamanic and eastern dance cultures for thousands of years.
Our contemporary approach to Trance Dance brings together the richness of these ancient rituals with some Psycho-spiritual Integration techniques. One of these is the use of a blindfold or bandana which covers the eyes, thereby shutting down the major source of distractions and outer stimulation to the brain and stimulating an inner vision that reveals hidden meanings and answers to many of life's most compelling questions.

TRANCE DANCE is a vehicle with the means to heal from within to explore and come face to face with your feelings and emo-tions to see your past creations and allow your movement to be-come the Dance of Inner Meditation and Connection with the Self, we Dance to Reinvent ourselves, we Dance to discard Fears and move into the Creation of Dreams, we Dance to Celebrate LIFE...!!!

Testimonial
I have to say to you that the Soul Doll day was absolutely wonderful in every single way. I would recommend it highly to any woman. I love my doll and I realised that night that she is an Angel. I feel very blessed to have been a participant in your first Soul Doll playshop. You led the group so gently and wisely and supported and guided us. So, a big huge thank you Jo for giving me a beautiful growing learning experience and a doll to help guide me along my path.
Lots of Love and Gratitude,
