Sanctuary Dance, 2nd Saturdays, 12-1:30 pm starting December 13, 2025 at St. Thomas Episcopal Church, BVL

đŸŒŋ Sanctuary Dance: A Conscious Dance Experience 

Find Your Flow. Connect with Community. Move Your Soul.

 

Welcome to Sanctuary Dance, a monthly gathering where movement becomes meditation, and the dance floor becomes a sacred space for exploration and release. This is not about performance or steps; it is about listening to the wisdom of your body and moving in a way that feels authentic and freeing.

 

What is Conscious Dance?

Conscious dance is a free-form, unchoreographed practice that encourages you to move your body without judgment. It’s an opportunity to:

*  Release stress and quiet the mind through physical expression.

*  Connect deeply with your inner self and your body's innate intelligence.

*  Experience community in a non-verbal, supportive, and inclusive environment.

*  Explore creativity and emotion through movement.

 

All are welcome—no dance experience needed, only a willingness to explore.

 

Your Guide: Lori

Lori is a passionate guide and facilitator of conscious movement. With a gentle and intuitive approach, she creates a safe and inspiring container for your dance journey, curating soulful soundscapes that support deep exploration and joyful expression.
