9-Month Women's Dance Ceremony Circle


We are living through intense times.

It shows up differently for each of us, but there’s not one of us who doesn't feel it.

We are in an age of breakdown / breakthrough and we cannot know how long it will last or where we will land. 

As my teachers would say (quoting Alice Walker),

“Hard times require furious dancing.”


And so, I invite you to a 10-month dance ceremony circle to deepen the relationships that steady us when so much is uncertain: relationship to our spirit/soul/body, to the earth, and to other humans.

  • We will meet every other month for a 3-hour 7Directions® Dance Ceremony

  • We will gather in a beautiful dance studio in the woods with heated(!) hardwood floors

  • You’ll get to connect and deepen with the same small group of women* over 9 months

  • In between there will be virtual wisdom circles to stay connected to our collective journey

  • I’ll also offer 30-minute 1:1 integration calls after each ceremony

I’ve felt called for a while to create an ongoing women’s circle in Athens, and the time now feels ripe. A circle like this is where I first encountered 7Directions. I danced in that circle for over a decade, including online through the pandemic and my move away from the original community in San Francisco. 

Here’s what it’s offered me, and I hope it offers you, too:

  • A space where we feel safe to be soft so we can stand up strongly out in the world

  • A space to fully experience our feelings so they drive us forward, not take us down

  • A space where we remember pleasure and play so we can return to work rejuvenated

  • A space to shake off what doesn’t serve us so we can show up in service to what does

  • A space to connect and build community so we remember we don’t have to do it alone


✨ If you feel called to join us—or just curious!—please let me know. I’m happy to talk more 💖
