On Saturday I went to my first
Movement Medicine Class. I had no idea what to expect, I went in with no expectations but with an open heart. I went in, and came out a different person. It was held at Shamballah, next to the Cape Farm House in Scarbourough.
Jayne Bullen is a Movement Medicine teacher and led the class. She is wonderful and nurturing, and I connected with her immediately. She told us that the class was about shifting perspectives through dance. It was a powerful experience for me, the dance and music deeply beautiful, and an experience I want to do again.
| What is is: Movement Medicine
is a body based movement meditation that reconnects you
to yourself, and to your wisdom. Since pre-history, dance, and song and ritual ave played an important role in healing and celebration.
Movement Medicine is a contemporary expression of this human
inheritance. It marries ancient and modern wisdom, and supports you to
experience the transformative power of your full-bodied, full-hearted, creativity in motion. This is potent medicine that
re-vitalises and aligns your natural wellbeing and leads to soulful,
conscious and embodied living. |

How does movement become your medicine? By awakening the dancer that lives inside you, by giving the reins to
the part of you that rests in the beat, and by connecting your mind with
your body and your body with your heart, movement becomes your
medicine. In the embrace of the dance, we shatter the binds of shoulds
and shouldn’ts that squeeze the juice from life. Along the way, you will make friends with yourself and find many
companions to travel alongside. You will come into contact with the
unique essence of who you are and into vibrant interconnection with all
of life.
Through this process, you will transform your relationship with the
past, become more deeply engaged with the challenges and riches of the
present, and unearth fresh inspiration to play your part in shaping the
future. |
