B REAL dance

We are only one week away! Please join us in our 2 hour, facilitated movement workshop. No dance experience is required. In this workshop our intent is to develop tools to support the shift towards a culture where death is reclaimed as an honoured part of life. (Community Deathcare Canada Vision) Together we will holistically explore our thoughts and feelings related to death (and aging, loss, sadness, grief), but also the concomitant peace and perhaps joy that may emerge. ...For those familiar with death cafes, we will have similar conversations, however the focus will be on communicating and expressing through our bodies. This session may appeal to those who work in hospice, bereavement, end-of-life care; those who are curious about mortality; and even those concerned with what is being called the sixth mass extinction. The workshop will include a series of individual, partner and group exercises that are followed by verbally sharing our experiences and reflecting upon how our death awareness might have deepened as a result of each exercise. Emphasis will be placed on intimately connecting to ourselves and others in the safe context we co-create, and participants may learn alternative ways to be more fully present in each moment despite the challenges of reflecting upon, dialoguing about or being with decline and death. There will be a maximum of 20 people in the workshop. The session may not be suitable for children or those who are acutely grieving. No shoes are allowed in the studio. We ask that you arrive scent free and in timely fashion.

Excited about our October 19th event.

MOVING/ STILL dancing in (the) light of death Sharing in simple somatic experiences, we will embrace melancholy and joy while exploring aging and mortality in safe connection and community.... We will co-create a renewed sense of personal beauty and healing that will emerge from opening to a deepened, embodied reverence for natural process.
