venus rising:
a feminine-centered ecstatic dance experience
A Homecoming for Your Body & Soul
What IS JourneyDance™?
JourneyDance™ is a guided dance experience where you move your body in your own way.
You don’t need dance skills. You don’t need to look a certain way. You don’t need to get it “right.”
If you have a body, you belong here.
People come to JourneyDance when they:
-
Feel stressed or stuck in their head
-
Feel numb, tired, or disconnected
-
Want more joy, freedom, and aliveness
-
Miss feeling playful, powerful, or fully themselves
This is a space to slow down, let go, and come home to your body.
What Happens at a JourneyDance?
Each JourneyDance is gently guided from beginning to end.
You can expect:
-
Grounding and breath to help you relax
-
Slow warm-ups on the floor
-
Free dance to music that builds energy
-
Shaking, stretching, sound, and emotional release
-
Playful movement and self-expression
-
A calm closing circle to land and integrate
You are always in control of how much you move, rest, or participate.

What People Are Saying
“JourneyDance opened a space for breakthroughs and deep heart connection - I felt profoundly moved and transformed.”
Panayota
“This JourneyDance helped me focus inward, connect with my inner child, and embody my best self - playful, unplanned, and free from performance."
Katrine
“JourneyDance with you took me deep. Talk therapy can’t access the places this somatic work awakens and heals.”
emmy
“JourneyDance was unlike anything I’ve experienced - dancing in community while staying in my own space, letting emotions take form in my body. A beautiful, deeply healing experience I highly recommend.”

Venus Rising: A Feminine-Centered Ecstatic Dance Experience
What if you didn’t have to earn what you receive?
This is an experiment in centering the feminine…
and restoring beauty, reverence, and authenticity in how we relate.
It’s an opportunity to:
-
uplift the feminine
-
honor and redefine the masculine as presence, care, and integrity
-
explore ways of relating that create spaciousness and genuine connection
This isn’t about excluding anyone.
It’s about giving all of us a lived experience of something different.
* Opening circle with clear consent guidelines
* A JourneyDance-inspired warm-up to unwind the body
* A ritual exploring receiving, presence, and offering
* A rich, evocative, free-form ecstatic dance wave (not guided!)
* A closing soundscape for integration
At the heart of the experience, we’ll explore:
-
feminine (receptive) and masculine (directional) energies as non-gendered states of attention or roles that any body can step into and feel and explore different qualities of
Its a space to:
receive without performing
offer without agenda
connect without pressure
This will be a space to gently re-pattern how we relate…
and begin to heal the divide between giving and receiving.
Expect there to be dark chocolates and perhaps a giant throne!
