What is Shake the Dust?
Think Friday night Rave!
Shake The Dust is a transformative and embodied practice of the body heart and mind. We journey between perpetual movement, rest, release and free movement.
With shaking, jumping, dancing, intuitive movement (sometimes yoga too), pilates, somatics and bodyweight training, not to mention a carefully curated playlist, this class is designed for anyone and will at best deliver a great workout, SWEAT and and a strong resilient body.

Workshops at Rise Academy
Somatic Ecstatic Dance
31st October 6-7.30pm
-
Samhain marks the end of summer and the harvest season, and the beginning of winter and the "darker half" of the year. It's also considered a time when the boundary between the living and the dead is thin, and spirits can more easily cross over.
Ecstatic dance is a freeform movement practice that combines somatic awareness with ecstatic dance to explore the body's wisdom and release tension through movement.
It encourages participants to move intuitively, without predetermined steps or choreography, guided by their inner sensations and impulses. The practice often involves a curated soundscape and guidance to facilitate embodiment and the release of emotions.
We dance with the bones of our ancestors whilst the veil is thin! Come dressed up or as you are!

Astrology and Embodiment with Lauren
22nd February 5-7pm
-
Spirituality is an experience, a feeling, a knowing almost impossible to articulate. It’s something many of us aspire to attain and something most of us would struggle to put into language.
In Astrology we look to the signs, planets and placements of Pisces, Neptune, the 12th House and other key signifiers. Astrology is a framework that gives us language to speak the indescribable feeling of that which calls from beyond.
But, simply knowing the language is not enough, to truly know spirituality we must feel it for ourselves in our own bodies.
Come and join this grounded afternoon of somatic and astrological exploration into the depths of spiritual consciousness.
Find your access point through guidance from the heavenly planet bodies and this earth body of you.
Are you ready to connect to deeper dimensions of Self and Universe?
What you can expect:
-Receive a 15 minute 1-1 with Lauren to understand how the placements of spiritual consciousness articulate themself in your chart.
-Join the group for an embodied Flow State movement practice designed to connect you with your innate and embodied spiritual consciousness.
-Explore the wisdom teachings of Astrology and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
-Connect with and learn from a circle of others on their own journey of spiritual consciousness.
-Leave with a potent sense of your own spiritual consciousness; and how you can work with your body and the planet bodies above to find this connection in daily practice. -
