Womb Healing for ALL Genders at Dance Medicine Philly Campout!

I am so excited to teach at DANCE MEDICINE PHILLY CAMPOUT again this year- please see below for the workshops I'll be teaching :-)

CONTACT DANCE IMPROVISATION - Assisting Lucas Ciapetta - FRIDAY AT 12PM

Learn contact improvisation tools, consent education + safety in moving/touching together and explore in a supportive open space how to use improvisation, play, gravity + contact tools to JAM without feeling self-conscious in an open forum ecstatic dance and appropriate, safe protocol to partner improvisation. This is for all levels for both trained or non-trained movers.

FALL IN LOVE WITH MENSTRUATION - For ALL Genders - FRIDAY AT 2PM

Join Lexi, the Cycle Witch + CUNTOPIA founder, in a workshop that will CHANGE the way you view menstruation forever. Our disconnection from the lunar cycle, written of as ‘lunatic’ and the womb cycle, written off as ‘hysterical' - has kept us, ALL genders, Men, Women, Agender, Nonbinary + more... from harnessing the true power, creative potential and our intuitive inner forces of nature that lies within us and our infradian rhythms.

Warning: you will FALL IN LOVE with this cycle

Even if you don’t menstruate, you know people who do AND you experience your own infradian rhythm. Stop harming yourself with practices that historically only consider circadian rhythm + testosterone dominant bodies, mental health and disposition.

Heal your relationship to this cycle to increase your vitality and wellness, unlock your full creative potential as humans, put an end to burn out and fall in love with your body's intuition.

MAKE LOVE TO GRAVITY - Intro to Contemporary Dance - SATURDAY AT 10:45AM before URSIDAE'S set

Learn the fundamentals of dance as movement through time and space and how the impetus of ALL movement, starts with our relationship to gravity- to the EARTH. Through Fall and Recovery technique, learn to pray through your connection to the floor/to the earth beneath your feet with the essentials of contemporary dance floorwork for all levels and ages. Using Feldenkrais, Bartenieff, Laban, AFCMD Humphrey and Limon fundamentals, for all levels and ages.

Learn contact improvisation tools, consent education + safety in moving/touching together and explore in a supportive open space how to use improvisation, play, gravity + contact tools to JAM without feeling self-conscious in an open forum ecstatic dance and appropriate, safe protocol to partner improvisation. This is for all levels for both trained or non-trained movers.

This May 12th-14th, join Dance Medicine Philly for a 3-day intentional gathering at Resica Falls camp in the Pocono Mountains for our third annual Dance Medicine Philly CAMPOUT!

For three days we will immerse ourselves with ecstatic dance, community building, fire spinning, delicious food, heart-opening elixirs, bonfires, epic workshops and, of course, magic. We will be bringing in some amazing deejays, workshop facilitators and musicians who will help curate this experience. But it’s the community that makes our event special. Drawing from our weekly ecstatic dances in Philadelphia, but welcoming people from all over including anybody who is new to ecstatic dance or this community, we aim to create an inclusive event with activities that foster connections. The campout is an immersive experience that encourages you to discover something new about yourself and about how you interact with the world.🌎🏕 🏞🔥🪵✨
