Dance and Movement

Dance is one of the oldest forms of medicine. Shamanic, indigenous, and religious traditions all over the world come together in ceremony to alter their state of consciousness to heal the mind, body, and spirit. 

It is a way to release negative energy from destructive patterns of thinking and feeling. We live in a society where we suppress our feelings rather than express them in a healthy way.  When we move our awareness from our thinking mind to our feeling body, we become connected to a deeper part of ourselves. Movement meditation through dance allows us to fully express our authentic self and let go of what is no longer serving our highest potential.

Transformational TWERKshop

Liberate your mind, booty, & soul in this playful expressive movement medicine workshop designed to expand your consciousness and uplift your spirit! Feel empowered to move in a way that feels juicy and authentic to your soul's expression. Twerking activates the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras; releasing stuck emotions and awakening our radiant energy. It's time to break out of our limiting patterns of thinking and feeling and step into our highest self that is wild & free! Goddess Renee will lead you through a guided movement journey while booty bouncin' soundscapes connect us deeper to the Twerk Master within us all.

We are programmed to believe there is something wrong with moving our hips. It’s a human condition to store so much negativity, especially in this part of our body causing pain, illness, and disease. Bringing conscious awareness and activating our hips allows us to let go of the emotional and environmental toxins we build up. It’s obvious that our society needs a healthy way to release our stress & trauma. A healing space is created to let go of fears, expectations, judgements, criticisms, emotional baggage, inner critic, self-blame, guilt, abuse, pain, embarrassment, and shame. We are incredibly creative beings with so much to share in the world when we choose to release ourselves from the boxes we put ourselves in. Free the booty & your mind will follow!

Twerking traces back to West Africa and was known as the Mapouka Dance. It was a celebratory dance of joy and was widely accepted because people believed it led to encounters with GOD! The actual term “twerking” comes from the New Orleans bounce scene in the early 90’s. This ancient dance, focusing on movements in the hips, is a fun and empowering way to express our sexual energy consciously rather than suppressing it or giving it away. When we activate this primal energy, we tap into our confidence & radiance to walk our intended paths in life with courage & grace.

This sacred ceremony is a blend of empowerment coaching, meditation, yoga, breathwork, movement arts, dance medicine, spiritual healing, trauma release, and manifestation magic to release your shit and inspire you to express your unique gifts in the world! This is an invitation to come as you are - bring all your insecurities, challenges, disappointments and pain so that we can clear what is no longer serving us. We are spiritual beings living in physical bodies so why not embrace all aspects of who we are? Our bodies, including our booties, were meant to MOVE as we activate our innate POWER

TWERKshop Testimonials:

I had been experiencing a lot of anxiety that week.  I wasn’t even feeling up for the TWERKshop earlier in the day, but I gave myself a little nudge to go ahead, knowing how much I appreciate your vibrance and healing through movement.  It was just what I needed!  Throughout the twerkshop I felt myself loosen, and release the tensions I had been holding.  My mood had transformed by the end, and I felt more empowered to communicate what I needed to feel safe in my community, and move my body as if I were in it and not trapped in anxious tension.  I’ll be participating in the next one for sure!  Thank you for being a leader and putting yourself out there to help others shake off what’s not serving them.

-Seth

Thanks for always spreading the message that we can move our bodies however we please and be free of judgment from ourselves and others. I used to see twerking as a way to seek attention and sometimes shameful. Now I twerk everywhere I go- Twerk for life!  

-Larrisa

I’m not sure if I was actually twerking but it was amazing!  Thank you for being in your strength to let the wild, gorgeous, and sexy be FREE!   It was really powerful that I had an impact on another participant.  It brought me some tears.  I want to own some more confidence.  I push through being scared but still it feels vulnerable.  So cool sista!

Renee – thank you so much again for using your incredible gifts to create last night. The whole journey was so beautifully crafted and executed with equal parts manifestation and magic. I loved every minute. Thank you for helping me land in Truckee and find “home.” Please let me know how I can support you in growing and sustaining your offerings. And, I hope that you were able to use last night to shift and transform the hurt you were experiencing yesterday morning. So much love, gratitude, and hugs. Looking forward to seeing you and dancing again soon.

I’m a different, more expanded, conscious, open, and expressive human since meeting you, and being dunked into the flowing liquid genius that permeates your field and entire presence.  Sounds like a tall order, though it’s just the nature of being the goddess you are!  TIGRESS- you are a force! I keep saying it and I will say it again- THANK YOU!

Sacred SeXy Flow

A Guided Transformational Movement Journey to Awaken your Creative Energy & Manifest your Dreams!  

Sexuality is the physical expression of your soul's essence.  In this fun and inspiring dance workshop, we will awaken our primal sexual energy and channel it in a healthy way to release our traumas and manifest our dreams.  We'll start with kundalini breathwork and meditation to receive a deeper understanding of our relationship with sexuality. Sexy ground movement will begin to awaken our shakti energy as we slowly transition to the higher realms.  This experience is designed to activate the elements of nature within, balance our masculine & feminine energies and align the chakras to unleash your divine sexual power to be liberated, unapologetically authentic, RAW and Fully Expressed! This is an opportunity to love yourself fully, connect deeper with others, transmute pain into pleasure, explore your creativity, tap into your passions & purpose, honor your body as sacred and enjoy your sexuality through dance!

You can be seXy & spiritual. Sexual energy is the most powerful energy we have, yet we carry so much guilt and shame around it.  This primal energy is what gives birth to life on earth, our creative projects, and our drive to live our passions & purpose. Since energy cannot be destroyed, it ends up going into the shadow of our being when we try to shut it down or use it in a way that’s harmful to ourselves or others. It’s time to reclaim our sexual energy and channel it in a healthy, conscious way that feels authentic to us. Let’s take back our power as divine beings living in incredibly amazing bodies.  You came to the planet at a very pivotal time to carry out a beautiful mission.  Live a pleasurable life and shine your bootyful self in service to the world.
