Inside Full Moon Dance
Open the gateways of love in your body with feminine grace and pure joy and step into your authentic self through a delicious fusion of guided sacred movement, free-style dance, chanting and meditation under the Full Moon.
As the July Buck Moon illuminates the night sky, it invites us to embark on a journey of transformation. The Buck Moon symbolizes growth, renewal and regeneration — much like bucks shedding and regrowing their antlers. This process mirrors our personal growth and transformation, as we must shed old patterns and beliefs to evolve.
The Buck Moon signifies a period of increased change and self-discovery, inspiring you to tap into your inner strength and intuitive wisdom, navigating challenges with compassion and discernment.
We all feel the anguish of a world suffering from our neglect of love and our forgotten interconnectedness.
In this journey, we will dance to embrace that we have chosen to be here at this powerful time for a Divine purpose. Our urgent environmental crises are compelling us to reassess who we are. At the precipice of disaster, we are witnessing what can be our only salvation: a call to awaken to our inner divinity and sovereignty and become one with the Earth herself.
In this dance journey, you will…
- Listen and tune into how your body wants to move and express
- Dance to re-member your original impulse for being here
- Dance to receive the moon’s energy with an open heart and mind, letting its radiant reflection of the sun guide you toward greater clarity, abundance and fulfillment
- Tap into your inner wellspring of abundance and allow it to flow freely into your life
- Be guided into inner terrains of the unknown to experience both elation and stillness—ecstasy, which is both bliss and pain
- Activate a deeper connection between your heart, the heart of the Earth and the cosmic Heart by aligning with the rhythms of the lunar cycle and tapping into its profound wisdom
Whether you are looking for a deeper connection to your life’s purpose or simply want to dance to feel ALIVE
this dance journey is for you!
Dance and Movement Style
This gathering is a balance between guided sacred movement and free-style dance.
Feminine Archetypes
You will be initiated into the mysteries of The Divine Feminine. As the hidden soul of the world, she calls us to enter a harmonious relationship with all Her creation. By coming into a loving conscious awareness in your body, you can invite a union between the feminine and the masculine.
Mystical Teachings and Science
We will draw from the gnosis or the experiential knowing of the Sufis and the Taoists and drink from the poetic wellspring of Jalaleddin Rumi and other mystics. Explore parallels between these mystical teachings and the new physics.
Healing
Experience the full-on transformation that comes from discovering and releasing deep-seated beliefs that have blocked you from living your full potential. Find the balm you yearn for to heal the wounded places inside your being. Discover the balm you carry with you to heal and bless our world.
Community
Through dancing and sharing, we create an energy field that supports each of us in finding our unique gift. Our own light becomes magnified when shared and merged with like-hearted people.

This gathering is mixed level and open to ALL who love to move.
In addition, this gathering offers trained dancers, psychotherapists, yoga instructors, creative arts therapists, and other movement practitioners the opportunity to deepen their professional skills.
