19 Dec Transformation made possible through safety and security
Holding a sacred space
Emotions rise up. Feelings overwhelm. And in this moment of vulnerability, true transformation is possible.
This experience is not uncommon for those who take part in Ecstatic Awakening Dance™, a nurturing process that is all about helping individuals reconnect with themselves and the universe. In doing so participants are able to feel love and joy by releasing pent-up stress, tension and emotions.
Holding a sacred space where this transformation can take place is the privilege and responsibility of an Ecstatic Awakening Dance™ teacher. As raw energy and emotion flow freely, our teachers create a safe space to guide participants on a journey of healing and empowerment.
Our promise to you
Our teachers facilitate, guide and nurture. But they do not interfere. They are tasked with ensuring all participants feel protected and secure enough to let go. No individual is coerced, encouraged or pressured to do anything they are not completely comfortable with.
As the universal energy embraces us, participants remain free to move and feel unencumbered. Physical contact between participants is not permitted, while physical contact between teacher and participant only ever comes about with express permission from the participant. Within this structure, everyone can feel a sense of ease within a loving community that does not intrude, overstep or encroach on anyone’s personal space or boundaries.
The path to sacred leadership
At the School of Ecstatic Movement all of our teachers go through extensive training to hold sacred space for transformation. This involves learning how to help participants deal with the range of emotions that can spill forth, both positive and negative. Our teachers are trained to help those who find themselves struggling with the intensity of the experience, with respect and love guiding every interaction.
The code of ethics our Ecstatic Awakening Dance™ teachers adhere to are governed by 8 principles that are engrained during our teacher training programme.
