This online 6 week course is a place to RESOURCE YOU with the unbroken magic and medicine of the past. In these tumultous times, take refuge in a wider perspective and breathe deep into the nourishing roots of the ancient medicine of the ancestors to support the ground of your presence. Movement Medicine is the creative and inspiring modality we will dance to sift for gold through the arc of time.

David uses nature’s teachings, simple compassionate, grounded guidance, inspiring music and IFS principles to create authentic enquiry that will be relevant to you and your own life. We will explore together in community.

FOR WHO WE ARE AND THE TIMES WE LIVE IN

Invoking the power of Movement Medicine, you will be guided to your own true connections with the goodness of the ancient ancestors so you can reconnect with your true authentic self and learn to navigate this tumultous world with strong alive roots of goodness and the loving support of the ancient ones at your back. Explore how the more we honour the ancient ancestors the stronger the relationship of reciprocity.

Movement Medicine is a dance practice that will reconnect you to the wisdom of living from you heart, will deepen your connection to true self, your creativity and your integrity as well as enliven your relationship with life on all levels. It has roots in indigenous shamanic wisdom as well as the latest neuroscience and therapeutic perspectives such as IFS, Polyvagal, Gestalt and Somatic Experiencing.

Having never met, nor been part of any group held by David I felt a little perturbed about investing time and money in an ongoing group. It was excellent and far exceeded what I might have anticipated. David has a great teaching style, down to earth, very much being himself and I also felt well held and secure in the group and in the learning. I will be doing more Online with David and look forward to in-person workshops too.

David is such a genuinely kind person with a big heart. He holds a gentle and safe yet firm and steady container for the process. He is very knowledgeable and capable, yet humble, open and willing to learn more from his students. He is a gifted and generous guide like on a magic carpet you will glide through your inner landscape on the winds of his perfectly curated songs and smooth supportive voice. What a profound adventure of waking up the whole body and discovering the unique dancer within you, always there waiting to be found. Dare to journey

— Sonja, Athlone, Ireland

This 6 week course is a place to bring the resource, compassion and understanding to the inner critic that can show up in so many ways in our lives.

We will weave these magnificent practices and this compassionate model with the grounding and deeply nourishing practices of Movement Medicine. The somatic practice, free movement, nature’s teachings, simple compassionate guidance, inspiring music and authentic connection in community.

It is so important to pause, dance and recharge particularly in these unique times where there is so much change, noise, conflicting opinions and environments of distress. This is a space to exhale, shake off and tune into the deeper sanity of nature's rhythms.
