About Nao's Dance Classes

CREATIVE MOVEMENT FOR WOMEN

LIVING RITUAL

To dance freely is to begin to release material that cannot be accessed through the vehicle of the intellect. If we let our minds rest for a while and let the wisdom body lead us, something profound can happen. What occurs is a kind of healing that has to do with connecting the heart with the head, and the body with the soul.

Dance is something that human beings have been doing since the beginning of time. Honest expression in the form of dance is deeply rooted in the nature of who we are. Creative movement can be a transformative experience that can lead to upsurges of emotion, and these feelings are doorways to deeper understanding. Our task is to help ourselves and each other to listen and be, without the obstructions of a judging mind and the paralyzing effects of self-consciousness. From here, an awareness opens and the territory of transformation is realized.

In Nao's Classes we look to the earth for guidance.

We ask the elemental energies of earth, water, fire, and air, to support us, as we journey inward, and then outward, toward relating to one another.

These classes are open to all women who feel inspired by this form. There is no previous dance experience necessary, just an open mind and a willingness to experience oneself moving freely for a while.

Good News~

It has been a while since I have sat down with my tea on a quiet morning and ran my fingers across a keyboard. Weeks have been spent getting the bees ready for winter, harvesting the fruits of our labours and making all kinds of wonderful plans. In amongst our many plans, there is one I am bursting to share, one that I think you will also be inspired by.

As you know, there has been much time spent with the honeybees this year. Much time spent in awe of their diligent ways. Much time spent learning about what more we might do to support these winged friends in their important work.

We have come to the conclusion that we must do whatever we can to help the honeybees at this particular moment in time, for reasons that you can read about in just a moment, if click on the link at the bottom of this page.

And so I invite you dear readers, to have a look at what we have been building and creating over here. Welcome to Beecause Pollination Project.
