Belly dancing is an ancient and sacred ritual shared among women. It is a celebration of the feminine spirit, a path for those yearning transformation.
Raven will begin our sacred afternoon together, teaching the ancient Polynesian Dance of Life, which was taught to the Huna priests and priestesses. Legend says that this dance was the foundation for the martial arts, for belly dancing, and the Hula dance. A special closing ceremny to honor and celebrate our bodies, our spirits, and our sisterhood will be designed and conducted by Raven. The ceremony will integrate what we have learned and shared, taking us to a new level of joy and awareness.
Nancy will integrate elements of the Chakra system and yoga to teach some basic movements of belly dancing. Through practicing these movements, each woman will have ample opportunity to create her own physical vocabulary for discovering and expressing the deep wisdom of her Wild Woman Spirit.
Nancy has been belly dancing around sacred fires at dusk for four years in ceremony among women. The spiritual, transformative dimension and the energy of Sisterhood that is possible through belly dancing is her motivation for teaching this course.
She is a Usui Reiki Master and a licensed teacher for the College of Metaphysical Studies in Clearwater, FL. Nancy teaches courses throughout Lee and Collier counties in metaphysics, and spiritual and personal growth. She is also a technical writer for a medical device company in Naples, FL.
