EMBODYING THE TAO - A YEAR OF FLOW - DANCE YOUR LIFE IN HOLCOMBE

In 2025, we return to Holcombe to dance in a deep, playful way using an image from Chinese phylosophy - embodying the tao. The tao is the absolute, the whole, your entire you. Join us in Holcombe for a series of conscious dance workshops for personal growth that will link movement with Chinese culture and medicine, mixing energy work from qigong and dance exercises from Dance of Awareness and others.

Testimonials

I love Alda’s Dance Your Life workshops. She holds the space very gently and takes us on a journey through a theme with just enough guidance to inspire. I enjoy having an invitation that I can interpret and own myself. Every time I dance with Alda, it’s a deeply impactful and insightful experience

Louise

I always look forward to attending a dance your life workshop as it makes me feel in the flow of life.It is a safe place to relax and enjoy movement, while also letting emotions come up and out of myself naturally. I always feel relaxed and have more energy afterwards.Thankyou Alda for the time and thought that go into these sessions

Jane

Dance your life is a challenge to accept that transformation and realisation can come through marrying physical movement, intention and openness to change - it is something of a surprise that such processes can be joyous and fun as well as profound
