Creative Transformation?

Untitled design (4)_edited.jpg

It's authentic. It's powerful. It's a song that echoes throughout the world. It's finding joy among the unexpected. It's why the wild can't dim our spirits. It's the importance of advocating for ourselves and others against all challenges.

It's our story. 

Join us on October 9th & 10th at the Historic Brookstown Inn for an uplifting experience that celebrates story and the voices of women from diverse backgrounds!

Movement as Medicine: Healing Grief Through Movement

Experience the magic of organic movement through Nia® - A holistic movement practice that blends dance, martial arts, and mindfulness to support physical, emotional, and mental well-being.. Rather than trying to “ fix” or move past grief, the session creates space to honor what we carry and explore how movement can help us reconnect with ourselves, our emotions, and a sense of aliveness. No dance or movement experience is necessary - only a willingness to be present, curious, and move in whatever way feels authentic to you.

Dancing Her Story: A Chakradance™ Journey of Creative Transformation

Chakradance™ is a healing moving meditation — a gentle, guided practice in which each woman dances with her eyes closed to music attuned to the body’s energy centers. There are no steps to learn and nothing to get “right.” She simply lets the music move her. In a warm, softly lit space, the body becomes the storyteller: releasing what it has carried and making room for something new. This is creative transformation felt from the inside out.
