We probably danced before we talked. Moving our bodies is part of being kind to ourselves and brings us in contact with others and with our environment. Dance gives us the freedom to move and become more joyfully empowered.

In this Dance Event you are invited to participate in three very different styles of dance. We will start with the luxurious curves and fluid moves of the Middle East, progress to connecting with the power and earthiness of Africa and finish with the calm and meditative moves of the Circle Dance, a form of dance that stretches across continents and cultures, and connects us both to our inner selves and to the world around us.

An interactive workshop inviting you to rethink self-care through kindness, compassion, and a more human understanding of wellbeing.

This workshop is a practical way of imagining more kindness—for yourself, for others, and for the world around you. When you decide to let go of a resentment, your heart lightens up, and makes space so more love can flow through you and into your world.

Please bring a notebook / something to write with or on. This session will be led by Barbara J Hunt
