LIVING BODY: Move & Grow
Conscious Dance
Live in your body, live from your soul
Conscious Dance is a modern dance practice with ancient roots. Sober, drug-free dancing that isn't choreographed but rather an invitation to tune into your innate rhythm, impulses and expanded self. You don't need to be fit, flexible or experienced. You simply need a body and a willingness to listen and follow. Supported by music, guided invitations and your own natural impulses this is an awareness practice just for you.
If you don't do your dance, who will?
Through conscious dance we have an opportunity to see and meet ourselves afresh and develop a deeper self-relationship, as well as with others and with the world around us. We can discover new ways of responding, of expanding our movement vocabulary and of cultivating greater flexibility, resilience, awareness and choice, on and off the dancefloor!
This is embodied self-discovery through movement.
Upcoming Conscious Dance Workshops
1) The Living Wheel
These are conscious dance events in the style of Open Floor that happen every six weeks in Strandhill, Sligo at Imbolg, Spring Equinox, Bealtaine, Summer Solstice, Lughnasa, Autumn Equinox, Samhain & the Winter Solstice. In movement we can access wisdom, vitality and creativity that isn't possible with the intellect alone. Through the flow of our own movement and within community we both learn and grow to trust the natural creativity and life force inside of us.

Meet Your Facilitator
Is mise ( I am) a passionate and experienced conscious dance facilitator who loves to guide people through this enlivening body-led movement practice. I'm trained in Open Floor and Dance the Medicine, with influences from Amerta, Move into Life and 5Rhythms. I love to create spaces where you can explore your movement patterns and discover new ways of responding to and arriving into the present moment. I play live DJ music & offer clear facilitation, so you can embark on a journey to greater flexibility, resilience, and choice for living on and off the dance-floor.
And I look forward to meeting you on the dancefloor.

Who is conscious dance for?
This practice is ideal for those seeking to deepen their connection to life in an embodied and soulful way. If you are motivated by self-exploration, community, connection to place and inquiry, this practice is for you. Expect to move from habit to choice, from preference to presence, from being fixed to fluid. This is an invitation to embrace and include more and more of who you are through guided, free-form movement and enquiry.

Benefits of moving freely
Participating in conscious dance offers a wealth of benefits. Expect improved movement vocabulary and attention through your body, enhanced self-awareness, and a boost in your capacity to keep meeting yourself in movement, however you are. Deepen your connection to yourself, to your environment, and to others. This is a holistic practice and there's room here for every*BODY no matter your age, stage or fitness level.
If you don't do your dance, who will!
