Free your mind
by moving your body
and repeat.

Yes, it can be that simple. Dedicate a pocket of time, each day, to moving freely with the breath. Practice radical acceptance of what is, and what is not. Moving with both. In and out, down and around, feel into where your soul needs to go.

Express, process, heal and connect. This is what we do each week, to help us release the bindings of our daily responsibilities and challenges, and to grow and experience life. And guess what? This is a lifelong practice, a partnership between our thinking mind and our feeling bodies, and it’s not going anywhere, thank goodness! This practice will always be here for you, waiting for the next time you need to express, process, heal or connect. Reinvigorate your practice with us, Sunday.

DJ Kofdrop joins us from Ecstatic Dance Columbus, to spiral us through each of these phases, and more. Are you ready? 10:30 Movement Lab lead by Katy, 11:00 DANCE!

Hey all, road closure alert. If you’re coming from 271, 303 is closed between 271 and Brecksville. You can turn right on Black Road > left on Brush Rd > left on Brecksville rd then right on W. Streetsboro to get back on track. See you soon!

Flex and wind, move and shake. We glide from space to space. We mix and mold and shift and pause, awaiting each intuitive step. From ease to trepidation, we allow it to unfold. How can you move closer to trust in your body?

Tomorrow (Thursday, 4/11) we will gather at 6:30 online via zoom for 1.5 hours of music, movement and processing. Sign up at link in comments. This feels bigger than one night can hold.

Location TBD, may be online. Comment or send message with your interest today so planning can happen! 🌞❤️💃🕺✨

As we prepare to behold the total solar eclipse, open your heart and mind to all possibilities. Expand your consciousness to engage your life in new pathways. Step onto a path of gratitude, connection and humility.

We beckon to your soul to join us Sunday, April 7th, 10:30 Movement Lab, 11:00 DANCE! Linda Dempsey is sharing the practice of Ho’oponopono, and inviting you to move, using your voice along with music. Ho’oponopono translated from Hawaiian, means ‘to make right. ‘ It’s a process of bringing harmony with the people in your life, yourself, and the world around you. The practice is rooted in the understanding that harmony and balance are essential for your well-being.

The opportunity is there, have you considered it? Do you believe change is possible? Do you know what it could feel like to move through what is blocking or slowing you? Everyone’s timing is different, have you begun to peel the layers? Take a chance, on you.

Sound intense? It can be, that’s why we go there together.

10:30 Movement Lab, 11:00 DANCE. Workshop 10-5pm, spots still open, for you.

Last year, we put out the invitation to community members who wanted to try creating a playlist for one of our dances. Ellinor Grace, aka DJ Ella G answered the call!

We are so excited to move with her!

DJ Ella G weaves sounds, textures & lyrics to ignite remembrance. An opportunity to remember what it feels like to be ALIVE. Bring your grief, joy, anxiety, anger, sadness, passion, confusion, creativity, playfulness, rage & messiness to the dance floor. Offer it space to BE, to breath & move.

10:30 Movement Lab with Breathwork, 11:00 DANCE! Event details at link in bio.

More about Ellinor .spectrum.being:

A curious cat, world wanderer, co-creator & life mentor, Ellinor Grace is passionate about supporting the heart of humanity on its journey home.

Whether through Breathwork, guided meditation or Movement Practice, a journey with Ellinor is an invitation to traverse the unknown, with curiosity, courage & connection.

A Healing Arts Practitioner for 13 years, Ellinor relocated from the Pacific Northwest in 2022. She spent over 8 years weaving playlists, playing with different textures, frequencies, genres & tones, for Breathwork journeys.
