Wild Heart – Elemental Dance, Live Music & Gong Bathing
Saturday 28 May, 7-10pm, £15 pp
Welcome to Wild Heart…
A fusion of dance, music and sound healing.
Join Tracey – Sacred Gongs + Mark – African Drums
Each month they invite a guest musician to join us and together we will weave some magic.
Let us listen to our Wild Hearts.
Let us trust and follow the wisdom of our bodies
Let us feel our feelings
Let us be present in the moment and to each other
Let our energies soar and return home
and journey together into our Wild Hearts.
We will be held and supported by the elements of Earth, water, fire and air to access joy which is the gateway to abundance
I lie still, resting on a grassy cliff top
Body breathing in the fragile land
Eaten away by endless waves
High in the air with the soaring, soulful birds
Sunlight dances on my eyelids
Teasing memories of past Summer days
Hopeful of Spring’s arrival
Grateful for winter night’s whispered visions
Dark stillness, warmed by fire and song and laughter
Wild wind on my face
Tears of cold and gratitude
My body porous to nature’s magic
Eternal, cyclic and yet unpredictable
Returning to self, belonging to Earth
Rejuvenated and recharged by wild nature.
