About the event

A dance to remember…

This is a ritual of remembrance, 

Remembering all lives lost.

Remembering the lives lost on this country, the blood shed in the name of colonisation.

Remembering the lives lost of our own ancestors to war and hard times.

This will be a prayerful space for us to celebrate this precious life, acknowledge country and acknowledge the power of the people of country who continue to hold the ancient lore and relationship which we are slowly beginning to… remember. 

So come be a part of the moving prayer. The dance, the fire, the earth beneath our bare feet, under the stars… together we remember we are one humanity. All welcome and family friendly (kids come for free).

We will share in a shared picnic as people arrive and cacao afterwards round the fire. You are welcome to camp, but please arrive an hour early to set up your camp. The following day I will be holding an ancestral grief circle which is an opportunity to sit in circle with this remembrance. In acknowledging our pain, we acknowledge the pain of our ancestors that continues to move through us. In this space we connect the threads of the pain of the past expressing in the present moment, giving opportunity to give voice to what previous generations couldn’t. More info on the event page.

~ We acknowledge we dance on the lands of the Wurundjeri people, on stolen lands. It is our intention to create a space of feeling the reality of this, to truely acknowledge what it means to live on these lands, so that we may learn a deeper respect for country and custodians. ~

More about EARTHDANCE

First conceived and danced in central Australia, Earthdance is an embodiment practice that deepens our connection to the Earth through circle and dance. In ritual we come back to the heart of our humanity, returning to reverence. 

 

The journey begins with an embodied meditation of acknowledgement to pay our respects to Custodians and Country. We begin in circle with our intention and what is on our heart, from this space we dance. With both live music and earthy beats we dance a freeform dance and end in circle to reflect and connect.

ABOUT KARLA 

Karla is a healer committed to creating sacred spaces for people to connect and remember their wild nature within. 

With over a decade of training and initiations in traditional healing and Shamanic practice, she holds space with a deep appreciation for land and culture. Deeply integrated with a background in paramedicine, Karla has a lived experience of what it is to humbly serve humanity. She is also a spoken word artist and writer, naturally infusing inspiration and deep enquiry as she facilitates, speaking intuitively to what arises in the moment. 

As an activist for country and custodians, Karla balances these ceremonial spaces with the acknowledgement of country and the reality of a stolen and traumatised land and people. Connecting people back to their Indigenous roots is at the heart of her practice as a healer and facilitator.  

“Belonging means reciprocity and responsibility”

What do people say about it? 

Earthdance is a very sacred, special heart connected event. I felt completely comfortable and held by Karla’s genuine, warm gentle spirit. Her presence and grace as a facilitator is so welcoming.  

- Sorell 

Each time I have had the joy of participating in Earthdance I have been opened up to the opportunity to really feel present in my body. The combination of dance, stillness and gentle moving meditation gave me a chance to experience what I have been struggling with mentally and emotionally.  

-Alice 

"What a beautiful experience! I have been to two of Karla’s Earthdance events. Karla is such a calm and comforting facilitator, she allowed me to really open up and make the most of the ceremony. I truely recommend that you try it for yourself. Thank you so much Karla for your commitment to creating an environment like this! It’s truely magical."
