A gathering to bathe in the healing alchemy of chakra consciousness and connection through our dance and presence.
Thursday 30th July
18.45 to 20.45 at SCOOP
Times are strange and so we need to respect social distancing rules where necessary, but this is an opportunity to gather in heartspace community and alchemical chakra magic.
This exhilarating and wholesome journey offers you the opportunity to:
1/ Develop your own inner healer/shaman and create a deeper listening relationship to the sacredness in your body.
2/ Unlock deep blocks and tension, with the possibility of experiencing awakenings and transformations in the body and psyche.
3/ Experience a meditative practice for your peace and wellbeing
Get some amazing and exhilarating exercise through dance (the best kind of exercise!).
4/ Feel supported in like-minded and like-hearted growing conscious community.
Once we move and open up to softening and releasing, each Chakra and connecting body parts offer us the potential for renewal and transformation. Taking this journey in nature makes it even more powerful.
Weather is looking good! Bring shoes to dance in, in case you need.
Cost: Sliding Scale – £10/£15/£20 depending on earnings. Contact me if paying anything is an issue.
A gathering to bathe in the alchemy of connection through our dance
Times are strange and so we need to respect social distancing rules where necessary, but this is an opportunity to gather in heartspace community and celebrate the aliveness of summer and the fruits of this magical time of year.
This is a fundraiser for charity, a giveaway, so please bring £10 for this or less/more/what you can afford. Half will go to the Pachamama Alliance/Black Lives Matter Campaign and half will go to Birdsong Garden towards their projects.
Please arrive at 6.30 for our body-prayer celebration to begin at 6.45, and at 8.30 we’ll share snacks (please bring food) and perhaps a song or two as well.
So looking forward to being with you lovely Jersey dancing community.
Weather is looking good! Bring shoes to dance in if you need, as the ground is wild and may not be comfortable on barefeet.
This multi layered mind, body, spirit movement journey will take us through the 7 major chakra centres and 7 corresponding spiritual life lessons week by week.
By bringing these parts of our bodies into conscious movement, with delicious music and enticing invitations, we are able to dive deep within to release stuck and stagnant energy and stories that we have inherited and created within our bodies throughout our life journey. Ecstatic dance combined with meditations and mantras encourages a deep awakening and transformation within the body.

A journey into our connection to life force energy, inspirational and prophetic thoughts, transcendent ideas and mystical connections. What spiritual truths are you aware of that you do not live by? Are you devoted to a spiritual path? What prevents you from continuing desired spiritual practices?

Some Reviews From the Recent Sunday Morning ‘Grounding in Connection’ Online Ecstatic Dance Gatherings and Past Wild Earth Dance Gatherings
“It is always lovely to fall into the open soft space with Maria”
T Foran
“I feel so ‘cleared out’ – almost like a new person, inside! I felt like we had all been given a gift by you.”
Eleanor O’Callaghan-Mazidian
“Amazing, Amazing …. “
Kinga Gutsowksa
“… such a magical group.”
Joseph David Bras
“I was touched by your presence and by the gentle but powerful container that you held us in … the naturalness with which you held yourself and shared that love and humour with us..”
Cath Brown
“Beautifully held space, great choice of music and wonderful ending meditations. These ‘online’ dances provide a great opportunity to go deeper into your own dance, without the distraction of others, which has been interesting to explore.”
J Jones
“A lovely introduction to meditative dance!”
J Forrest
“HI Maria, just want to say how much I enjoyed and benefited from the on line wild dance events. I am really looking forward to joining the next series. I was a little unsure whether online would work for me, but found that I felt really well connected throughout to all the friendly people who joined in. The choice of music and the “company” of yourself and my fellow dancers all added up to a special experience.”
G Louis
“I was surprised how I felt so much better in myself after the online dance gathering ….”
J Liffey
“During these times especially it feels good to be connected to our dance community … I felt our space very well held by your gentle guidance … It was much easier to link up and have a sense of connection on Zoom than I thought it would be.”
M Heaney
SOME QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE:
1/ Will this involve me dancing?
Yes, but its not the kind of dancing where you will be focussing on looking good nor entertaining. Ecstatic dance is a mindful deep guided journey into the body, with continual invitations and reminders from me where your focus should be – which is in the body, and just being witness to the voices and stories that are playing out in the mind without attaching to them, so that you can let your body move with your authenticity, moment by moment. Its a great meditation practice and one that many find easier than stillness meditation. Its no surprise that dance has been a practice of all indigenous cultures through the ages to connect them to their bodies and spirits. Once you’ve tried this a few times, it becomes more and more easy to drop into the body, and for some it is instantaneous.
2/ I’m physically impaired and can’t move about/can’t move for long. Can I still join?
Absolutely. You can be just as present and able to journey deeply into the body whilst sitting in a chair, moving your arms, fingers, head, neck, feet … whatever or wherever it is that you have some movement. The sessions have been created to aid the dropping in journey with special music, drums, sound and mantras. Everyone can come to this and get something very wholesome out of it.
3/ I wouldn’t be able to stay for the whole session, is that ok?
Your presence in this process really makes a difference. Especially as we are tuning in to each other online. Leaving early would not only diminish your experience of the journey, but it would also impact the sense of presence in the zoom room, so I ask that all participants can stay from the beginning to the end to support the process for everyone.

“Tastes absolutely awesome!!” Jo Le Cocq (22nd April)
A feast for the spirit of all women of all ages. A time to come together and dance, sing and share from our hearts.
More than ever our world needs empowered re-wilded women.
Empowered women are:
Women who are creating connection within themselves and their environment
Women who are allowing their creativity to flow
Women who are healing the bonds with other women
Women who are trusting the wisdom in their bodies
Women who are bold and courageous
Dance – Sing – Share – Remember
Dance –
We will begin with a journey into our bodies through movement and sound, with meditations and chants to open up our hearts. Facilitated by Maria of Wild Earth Dance Jersey, this is a free-form movement /dance that allows our bodies to move freely without judgment or concern ‘for the “grace” or beauty of the dance. It’s an exhilarating inner/outer journey of moving meditation and develops a direct body-mind-spirit connection, letting your body and inner guide be your teachers and healers.
Sing –
Yes we will sing! You will be taught different parts by ear by Kate Valentine, (no word or music sheets are needed) and you choose the one you like or feels most comfortable for your voice. The magic begins as we put the parts together. You’ll be amazed at the power and sheer beauty of hearing your individual parts sung together in harmony.

Are you ready to work deep into the past, present and future to claim the power you have lacked through limiting beliefs, trauma, cultural conditioning and/or a lack of knowledge or application? Are you ready to use the wisdom you already have in your body to guide you with loving presence and direction to increased wellbeing and transformation?
🌈 This is an 8 module journey into the powerhouse centres within our bodies starting in February until the end of March. If you cannot attend the whole journey, it is possible to book individual sessions.
🌈 Our chakras connect to our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. We can claim back any lost power with enquiry, reflection, acknowledgment, compassion, and by trusting ourselves to be our own healers with the support of the strong sacred space container in which we will move in.
🌈 What can you expect? We will work with music, movement, toning, trance meditations, essential oils, and with each other as compassionate comrades to restore balance and wholeness into ourselves. This is an exhilarating and liberating journey but also one that works on a profound level in our wellbeing and psyche, and that has a strong emphasis on movement.
🌈 Everyone is welcome. Whether you are seasoned in the path of empowerment through movement, or whether you are completely new, you are welcome to join us. If you joined for a past journey, this will be unique, with new exercises, modalities and meditations, giving you the opportunity to immerse in different material and layers that arise.
