Come and join us on the Aries New Moon to open your heart, and free your body to awaken, to move and be reborn. This new moon is asking us to consider where we can show up in our lives with greater courage? It is asking us to trust in our intuition when we take a big risk in trying something new. 

 

It is the perfect time to support yourself by expressing yourself through passionate pursuits, and shamanic Nia dance is an ideal way to do that - movement is medicine. 

Nia, like Shamanism, helps mind, body and Spirit come in to balance. Like the grounding benefits of earthing, Nia is practiced barefoot, and it inspires and guides us to listen to the wisdom of our bodies, to intuitively discover movements that liberate us and make us feel good, and it connects us to community. 

 

Come and surrender to the flow of the moment with the help of global grooves and tribal beats, assisted by live drumming and didgeridoo playing. Channel courage to liberate yourself from the way you have danced in the past, connect with your inner fire, and your animal nature. Release primordial sounds, and express your passion.

 

We will open the ceremonial space with smudging, honouring and calling in the energies of the sacred seven directions, and opening our hearts with alchemic, ceremonial-grade cacao medicine. We will begin by moving through the five stages of Nia, the self-healing practice that mirrors the five stages of human development: Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Standing and Walking. We will connect and flow with the 4 elements: Earth, Air, Water and Fire. And we will connect and shape-shift into different Spirit Animals, and embody their energies, abilities and movements. 

 

We will conclude the evening with a reflection circle before closing the ceremonial space by honouring and thanking the 7 directions.

 

Facebook Event Post: 

Dinora and Rufus met on a beach in Oaxaca in 1994 and have been in love with this mystical and magical part of Mexico, and each other, ever since. She was taking a break from her busy legal practice in Mexico City, and he had moved to Mexico from Canada to make documentaries. They return frequently to Oaxaca, a place that constantly inspires them to live a simpler, fuller and more meaningful life. They love to discover, make and share artisanal and healing products and practices with their friends, family, and clients. Dinora is a natural nutritionist, a Nia Dance instructor, and a yoga teacher. Rufus is a health & wellness and shamanic drum circle facilitator, a singer-songwriter, a community choir leader, and a shamanic practitioner. Both Rufus and Dinora have been trained to lead Mesoamerican temazcal sweat lodge ceremonies, and are both sound healing practitioners. They run Swan’s Nest Holistic Wellness and Nature Retreat, lpcated just North of Toronto, from late Spring to early Autumn, and live in Toronto with their 2 sons the rest of the time. They spend as much time as possible in Oaxaca, and plan to move there in the winter to facilitate workshops, run their import business, La Botica, and host culinary, historical and shamanic tour groups.
