Hoop Dreaming is just two weeks away, happening in Edmonton, March 29th to 31st, 2019. Each week we have introduced one of the elements we will be journeying with in a quick video. This week, Kacie shares about the element of Spirit, here. This is the spark, or ineffable essence around us, and within us. You could call it soul, spirit, spark, divine  or fuzzy bit.  It is the thing that makes us ourselves, and alive.  As we dance with spirit, we will be practicing sustained spinning, which brings us in greater alignment with the universe and ourselves. When are in stillness, everything else in the universe is in motion around us, and even the molecules inside us are still spinning. Spinning ourselves, like whirling dervishes places us in alignment with all that is.

We will also be dancing in ways that allows us to dance our own essence . We each have our own perfectly unique movement style and allowing our spirits to be leaders in our dance lets this essence out to play and celebrate.

Tickets are on sale now, $111 + GST for the weekend, available here.

Hoop Dreaming:  A three day hoop dance journey through the elemental forces of creation is happening on March 29th to 31st, 2019 in Edmonton, Alberta. In this three day workshop, we will be using the archetypal structures of Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit to focus on the mirror of the inner world with the outer world. Each week, Kacie, our facilitator has created a short video for you introducing the element and drawing a card from the Elemental Forces of Creation Oracle deck from Lisa Michaels.

In this week’s video, Kacie introduces us to the Mental Realm, Air, where our thoughts and belief systems reside. This is also the angelic realm and the realm of vibrational healing modalities such as sound, light and energy work. In Hoop Dreaming, we will be using the Air realm to access any conscious and unconscious belief systems that might be holding us back from our dreams, or even from allowing us to dream big! We will use the visionary perspective of air in our hoop dance to expand our dreams and then dance them into being.

Here is Kacie, with more.

Tickets to Hoop Dreaming are on sale now, for $111 + GST per person.

More information is available here.

In just 4 weeks, we will be dancing together at Hoop Dreaming, a dance journey through the elemental forces of creation: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.  In this video here, our facilitator Kacie gives us a brief introduction to Water: The emotional realm.

Through movement, and of course Hoop Dance, we can move feelings through our bodies that might otherwise get stuck. This allows us to have a clear, clean emotional current, rather than a stagnant swamp that can fester within us and create disease. Movement and dance are medicine and dancing with the elements allows us to come into harmony with both the world around us and our inner worlds.

We will be dancing with Water on Day 2 of Hoop Dreaming. . More information on the event is available at this link.   Tickets are on sale now for $111 + GST for this 3 day gift to yourself.

Each week as we countdown to the Hoop Dreaming Retreat, March 29th to 31st, 2019 in Edmonton, Alberta, we will be sharing with you a video with you containing a brief introduction to an element that we will be dancing with on our weekend journey.

We began with Earth, the physical realm last week. Earth creates a sacred container for the element of Fire which is the action realm. We will be dancing with both on Friday night, the first night of the retreat. They create a beautiful synergy!

Kacie with more on the element of fire, here. 

Check back each week for more on each element. More details about Hoop Dreaming can be found here: https://dancingintobeing.com/workshops/hoop-classes/

For our six week countdown to Hoop Dreaming, happening March 29th to 31st, 2019, we will be uploading a new video each week introducing the Elements. Each element: Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Spirit has a corresponding inner realm. We will dance with each to glean personal messages of wisdom.

We will begin on Friday night with the Element of Earth, which represent the physical realm outside us, within us and all around us. It is the planet, our bodies, homes, support systems, finances, and stability. Each participant will have a chance to pull an oracle card message from each element, starting with Earth.

Kacie has a message from Earth to you, here in this video.

Following the rhythm of the wheel of the year is a powerful creation tool. Each Solstice, Equinox and Cross-quarter point of the year contains manifestation magic. That’s why they have been celebrated in every culture around the world since the dawn of history.

The upcoming winter solstice is the perfect time to get cozy, go deep and listen to your heart. What is your heart’s desire? How do you want to feel? What is it that you are yearning to create in the next year?

You can plant the seeds with your intention, burying them deep within your heart on the longest night of the year. Then,  come and Dance them into Being, just after the spring Equinox, at Hoop Dreaming, the three day hoop journey in Edmonton (March 29th -31st, 2019).

Dancing is one of the most powerful ways of taking something from the spiritual, mental and emotional realms and grounding it into the physical. When you dance with your conscious intention you can take a dream and begin creating it into reality.

We want you to tell us how you will be supporting your soul and  listening to your heart this winter solstice and in exchange you have a chance to win a ticket to Hoop Dreaming!
