Honouring and acknowledging any inhibitions, earthing our energy and connecting us back with our true selves. Allowing us to feel free to dance in whatever way our body wants to move. Dancing and moving to medicine music, healing shamanic sounds, building to high vibrational euphoric tunes and finishing with a deeply grounding sound immersion. Luisa Bradshaw creates a wave of music that is earthy, shamanic, heart opening, tribal, euphoric and fun!

It is a somatic dance journey using movement and sound to let go of anything that no longer serves us, so we can step into the fullest, highest most joyous version of ourselves. This is a space of non judgement. A space to be completely YOU. We welcome you.
