Body Prayer – with Liz Diaz from Peru (virtual)

The Sacred Dance Guild continues to offer monthly Sacred Sunday experiences – generally on the 2nd Sunday – generally at 7:30 pm Eastern! This program began at the beginning of the pandemic and we are delighted to continue because we CAN, not because we MUST! These free sessions are intimate, interactive and informative offerings gifted to the Sacred Dance Guild “village” by the presenter(s) and coordinated by the SDG as a way to continue to CONNECT one to another!

You can register for the November session by email to pres@sacreddanceguild.org with “Sacred Sunday – Body Prayer” in the Subject line. Note: This was originally scheduled for October; however, due to a local power outage in Peru it was been rescheduled to November!

Body Prayer is a dance ritual for self-discovery, celebration and transformation, with a focus on deepening self-love, emotional awareness, embodied listening and self-compassion. 

Body Prayer gifts you the opportunity to nourish your relationship with your body through therapeutic movement & dance. 

Body Prayer is a place where you can meet and be guided by the innate wisdom of your breath and your body for your path and highest good.

Join us Body Prayer a journey of self-discovery, celebration and transformation. Our sacred container is the dance floor (living room), it is both a mirror and an ecosystem. A place where we can safely be a witness and be with our all of who we are. A place where we can choose to lean into and move with our pain, our fears, our doubts, our love, our joy, our bliss. A place where the abandoned, rejected, forgotten pieces of ourselves are accepted, welcome, and claimed back into the whole. The dance floor also gives us an and open landscape of fertile ground to rest in, to play, to rediscover, and create a new reality through movement and intention. Liz will share a poem for contemplation, followed by some reflection questions and a gentle somatic practice to help guided us in setting our intentions for our Body Prayer Dance. We will gently move into movement/dance guided by therapeutic movement prompts and conscious world music. We will close our journey with a guided meditation, and take time for personal reflection/journaling, and sharing in a circle of loving humanity. From this session you will take away a deeper appreciation, joy and connection to your body.

Liz is deeply committed to holding and creating spaces that inspire you to explore and cultivate embodied awareness and connection to the divine within. She weaves her training in Somatic Awareness, Dance Movement Therapy, Expressive Arts, and Dance Ritual into her sessions to provide a deeply holistic and healing movement journey. Originally from Toronto, Liz now resides in the Sacred Valley of Peru, where she offers personalized individual and small group retreats. She also teaches online, providing one-on-one sessions for women seeking transformation and a deeper sense of joy and freedom through movement and dance. (At the recent Sacred Dance Guild Journey to PERU – we were delighted to have Liz lead an early morning meditation/body prayer session for participants at the Retreat Center – LOVE connecting around the world!)
