Heal Through Dance© Ecstatic Dance and Somatic Movement Facilitator Training is about creating your own somatic movement classes and ecstatic dance experiences filled with wisdom, ritual and ceremony. We give you the building blocks and the freedom to create your own unique offering!
​
-
Somatic Embodiment: Learn an entire system of somatic movement practices that you can embody and facilitate. These practices guide the mover from their mind down into their body. Somatic movement gives the mover tools to find their way into their own free form movement practice.

Ecstatic Dance: Receive an ecstatic dance music library with many playlists already created. We give you a system for creating your own playlists and help you get started with lots of pre-made playlists.
​

Energy Practices: As a facilitator it is important to keep your energy field clear. People in your class will be releasing and letting go and we teach energetic practices for clearing and protecting your energy field.
​
-
The Elements and The Chakras: Our dance map follows the Elements including: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Sound and Light which are correlated with the Chakras including Root, Sacral, Solar, Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown.
