" Grace is not a gift we own, but a gift in movement, that is, a gift with an incentive to move us and move through us. It does not land on us like rain. It blows through us wind and is meant to reach everyone else too. It is a moving event...."
David Richo
A seven part deep dive course in tending to your own transformation via dancing in nature - wherever in the world you are. We will explore how the mystery shows up in our lives (call it luck, coincidence, intuition, grace, being in the flow, happenstance, "just-kinda-knowing", the dance of life...) We will surrender deeper to this flow of good fortune and to the richness it brings to our lives. Now available on demand.
"We have not been raised to cultivate a sense of Mystery. We may even see the unknown as an insult to our competence, a personal failing. Seen this way, the unknown becomes a challenge to action.
But Mystery does not require action; Mystery requires our attention. Mystery requires that we listen and become open. When we meet with the unknown in this way, we can be touched by a wisdom that can transform our lives.”
Rachel Naomi Remen
Join us for series of 7 personal practice gently guided outdoor dance journeys to stream out in nature via your phone at a time/place that suits you each week, accompanied by a 50 page PDF workbook on cultivating your own wisdom, wildness and wonder; tapping into the good guidance that is available to (and through) each of us.
​
These times have been tricky and we are likely not done! Dance in nature is a supportive space for us to hold it all in heart, to move through what maybe backed up within us. To free the dam and find our way back into an abundant flow; to literally get things moving again.
In the dance we will (re)discover our own power, passion and potency; finding soulful ways through it all. Sometimes we transform via our own intention, sometimes life brings unforeseen surprises and we get worked and transformed by something outside of us. We will learn to work skillfully with the things we can’t control- resourcing ourselves, building resilience, replenishing ourselves with mindful movement in nature. We will get embodied on the earth, enjoying fuller self expression, developing our own daring, rediscovering what is bold and brilliant within us; living more in touch with the marvelous mystery of it all.
We will become active participants in our own unfolding. We will listen in to what calls us, coming into partnership with the intelligence of the living world around us as we dance outdoors.

Tess creates space for people to connect deeply with what matters most. She writes: "For me hope is found on the horizon. It is in being able to see further than the day to day. Happiness is found in space to move, space to breath, space away from the clutter and clamour of endless conversations. Moving under wide open skies I have space to feel again, to find my way back to myself. -In the space I can heart own heart, I can feel how full it has got and how much still needs to be move through the system. I can empty out. I attune to something wider, wiser more wonder-filled than my separate sense of self. Dance in nature brings us this and so much more. I warmly invite you to join us to dance outdoors; alone, together; on this journey of tending to our own transformation- moving with the mystery of it all, seeing what miracles might just show up...."
