7Directions Dance Ceremony is a powerful, protective, highly-facilitated container that I’ve seen hold incredible journeys of transformation and healing — myself included, as it’s been my main spiritual practice for over a decade. It was with so much joy and honor that I became a 7Directions facilitator in 2018.
I’m excited to be holding my first dance ceremony at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Athens. The beautiful, tree-surrounded building has been a sanctuary for sacred community experiences for decades—and the huge hardwood floor gives us plenty of room to boogie down with whatever energy we’re working!
If you’re in the Athens area and you’d like to join us, or have any questions at all, please reach out to Miki (contact info above).
You can learn more about 7Directions here — and here are the basics:
After grounding, we’ll circle up for check-ins and to name intentions
I'll call in the directions and guardians of the ceremony
Music is ~90 mins: 60 mins for “uppy” dance, then gentler tunes while you journal/draw/rest
We'll close by sending blessings to the world.
Afterwards, we’ll enjoy nourishing food together (or you’re welcome to head out if you need to be home earlier)
As the facilitator, I create the musical journey specially for this moment and these participants; it ranges from electronic, funk, and disco, to world and devotional tunes. I will also offer hands-on energy work to those who want it.
NO dance experience or skills required.
This is about how it feels NOT how it looks.
You truly cannot do this wrong.
