Join us this Sunday for a guest facilitator!!!!

Conscious Movement Sessions creates a safe space to express ourselves freely, allowing us to drop deep into our bodies, and connect with our inner wisdom and healing. It combines free movement, improvisation, creative visualization and music to help release stuck energies stored in our physical, mental and emotional bodies. It is practiced to inspiring world music and does not require any previous movement or dance experience.

Karina Pais is a professional visual artist with a body of work spanning a variety of media. She has always been passionate about dancing, and has found in Conscious Movement practices a natural way to express her true self while helping others in their journey to free expression. She has been trained and certified in modalities such as JourneyDance™ and Prayerdanse, and taken several 5Rhythms classes and workshops. She is also a member of the Dance First Association.

This Sunday!!! Weather permitting we will finally be dancing OUTDOORS!

Come to our secret spot by the lake in Forest Hill Park to dance and groove with your friends in nature! Hit up the South of the James Farmers Market and bring a snack down and have a picnic! All are welcome, no experience necessary.

IN CASE OF RAIN Sunday morning, we will dance indoors at SoulShine studios. Keep an eye on our IG and FB for an update.

Logistics: there are no bathrooms by the lake but there are porta potties in the farmers market/Forest Hill Parking lot before you walk down. There is a stone stairway and a paved path down to the lake from the parking lot. Give yourself extra time to find parking due to the farmer's market! Bring a blanket if you'd like to get comfy on the grass. The dance "floor" is partly shaded but mostly sunny, lots of shade around the edges. Any other questions please reach out!!

Donation based and we appreciate your support🙏

See you on Sunday for dance church!
