Awaken Your Elemental Rhythm

Embody Nature’s Elements: A Journey Through Dance and Art

Your elemental rhythm is the natural energy, movement, and feeling within you — connected to the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit.

Each element represents a part of you:

🌍 Earth – grounding, stability, and presence

🌊 Water – emotional flow and adaptability

🔥 Fire – energy, creativity, and passion

🌬️ Air – lightness, breath, and clarity

✨ Spirit – connection, expression, and awareness

Through music, movement, journaling and art, this series invites you to explore and awaken these rhythms in yourself — to move, create, and reconnect with your full, authentic expression.

Join us for a transformative series of workshops that blend somatic dance, music, and art to reconnect with nature and yourself.
