Dance of Life 12 November 8 am – 7 pm Coolum

We are now booked out. Thank you so much for your interest.

You can add your details at the bottom to be on the waiting list and if anyone cancels, I will let you know.

Delve deeply into conscious dance, movement & other practices for self-discovery and community connection.

Join us in this immersive experience with 10 different facilitators guiding our journey. We’ll experience the energetic flavours of being masculine and feminine as well as physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and sensual orientations.

Through movement, dance, breath, touch, voice and a luscious lunch, we will flow along the topics of life:

  • focus on self
  • connection to others
  • personal power
  • heart-opening love
  • community leadership
  • purpose & eldership
  • freedom of choice

All facilitation is an invitation, and you always have the choice not to participate or to adjust how you participate so that it is exactly what you need at that moment. In fact, this is one of the key ingredients for this day: you have permission to be and act exactly as you desire (while being aware of the needs of others).

Our facilitators bring together a depth of experience:

Joerg Hassmann – Contact Improvisation Teacher and ZenThai Shiatsu Practitioner

I am an improviser, inviting the unknown – in the flow as well as in the challenge & stuckness. I sense that journeying is also a major part of my Zenthai Shiatsu practice, where I listen to a person mainly through the body. An open dialogue lets tension, pain and misbalances reorganise towards more ease and harmony. 

3 years ago, I came over from Berlin with my family It feels like a big adventure that is slowly unfolding with the support of wonderful people on the Sunshine Coast.

Jaime-Lee Hind – Contact Improvisation Dance and Rebirthing/Breathwork Facilitator

In early adulthood, a dedicated focus on rebirthing taught me to utilise my breath to be present with my heart and body, regulate my internal state, and find authentic self-expression.

Many years of exploration of breath, trauma therapies, expression, movement, and deep-authentic relating inform my work and relationships. 

I offer touch, connection, and a coming-home to self through practices such as ZenThai Shiatsu, Aquatic Bodywork, KaHuna Massage, Contact Improvisation Dance and Rebirthing/Breathwork.

Sarita Sloane – Kundalini Dance, Sound Healer and Expressive and Somatic Arts Facilitator

 What to Expect

It is important that you join us for the whole journey. Every portion of the day builds on what happened before, so we will not let anyone join late.
Please arrive from 7.45 am, so we can start at 8 am. We also ask that you stay in the space until the end when we harvest insights in a closing circle.

This event is for people who have been to a conscious dance before or done other inner work. We want to go deep by combining different practices with conscious dance (such as breathwork, touch, bodywork, and voice activation). If this is a challenge for you and you want to expand into that, perfect. It will be a held space to discover more about ourselves and how we interact with the world. Invite others if you think that might be the right edge for them as well or if you would just love to spend the day with them.

To cover the costs of the hall and food, you can choose to pay between $50 and $150.

Any funds left after costs are paid will be available as stipends to support young dancers to participate in conscious dance on the Sunshine Coast.

If you have any questions, please ask in the comments or get in touch with me.
