Ceremony of the Heart invites you to a deep dive of nourishment and connection through dance and embodied prayer ***FREE EVENT***
Come join our online ceremonial dance space on what is known as the day of love - Valentine’s Day - for a beautiful Movement Medicine journey with Bonnie McAteer and Mira Khanya.
During these challenging times, we wish to offer this free ceremony as healing balm to all of our hearts. A space where we connect through our embodied imagination to the wisdom of our hearts. We are called to be creative shapeshifters doing the work that cultivates an open, clear, strong heart. So let us move with what is alive within, surrender to the transformative spirit of the dance and grow a loving field of awareness for ourselves, each other and the wider community of life on earth. Dancing together and aligning ourselves to the intention of living a life of love rooted in action. In the words of Rumi: “All doubt, despair and fear become insignificant once the intention of life becomes Love”
ABOUT MOVEMENT MEDICINE
Movement Medicine is an immersive dance meditation, held with captivating music and clear guidance. It is a weaving of both ancient wisdom and modern thinking such as Shamanism, 5Rhythms, Gestalt Psychotherapy and Constellation work. In a polarised culture where so much of our wounding comes from disconnection, Movement Medicine offers the opportunity for reconnection. It connects us to our elemental nature, to our bodies, hearts and minds, to each other and to the intelligence of life. Our movement becomes the medicine that opens the door to insight, new possibilities and the transformative power of the dance. The dance becomes an embodied prayer - for ourselves, each other and the interconnected community of life on earth.
YOUR FACILITATORS
MIRA KHANYA is a UK based Movement Medicine teacher. Growing up in South Africa, she brings with her a deep connection to the aliveness of nature and the beat of the drum. From an early age creativity was central in Mira’s life. Today the rich tapestry of her experience as a dancer, therapist and artist is woven into her work. Her love of ceremony, the depth of meditation and shamanic practices, and the inspiration of her drama, physical theatre, butoh and coaching trainings - are all rooted in her offering. For her it's a great honour and joy to create spaces where we can unite in dance, gather resources, deepen connection and experience the power of embodied transformation - individually and collectively.
BONNIE MCATEER is a graduated Movement Medicine teacher who has been working with this body of work since 2009 and have trained to an advanced level. She is a Ceremonial leader deeply committed to the sacred landscapes of the wild unbroken spirit of life, and to the transformational healing power of dance to reclaim our power that may have been lost within the wounds of the past and turn that into medicine to reconnect to our wild self and true heart.

“The dance ceremony was exceptional! The fact that it was online didn't stand in the way of feeling deeply connected to the other dancers.

I am so grateful for these spaces.” — Bristena
