Dancing the Sacred Feminine

Saturday, January 7 | 2:30 pm - 6:30 pm ~ Alana Grier
Cost: $40

Learn an empowering style of dance for your body as a woman. Get together with other like-minded women to own and celebrate your power as a woman. Belly dance is an ancient form of dance that comes from the same origins as Yoga and Qi Gong. It is a form of mindful movement that is truly healthy for our bodies as women.

The primary goal with this Tribal Fusion Belly dance workshop is to celebrate the Divine Feminine within each of us. Study a fusion of different approaches to Belly dance specifically chosen for spiritual, communal, and physical health. The workshop begins with a 'connecting to the divine feminine ceremony' and closes with a talking and integration circle. 

There is a good flow from strengthening drills to group choreography throughout the workshop. Belly dance fundamentals covered include a variety of slow/mindful movements to fast drills that get the heart rate up. This Tribal Fusion Belly dance workshop is set with the intention of being a supportive community for women of all ages and phases of life through dance. We will include exploration of the Goddess through the ages into our day of movement and celebration.

Sophia Code Circle Workshop

Saturday, November 19 | 6 pm - 7:30 pm

Are you feeling called to a personal transformation journey, unlike any you have experienced before? Does the Goddess Archetype inspire you and draw you in? Do the names Isis, Hathor, Mary Magdalen, and White Buffalo Women make you stand up a little taller?

Sophia Circle Journeys™ are a powerful ceremonial space to experience an emotionally safe, empowering, and rich heart-centered personal transformation to explore your unique sovereign self. 

Your own personal healing journey is the first and vital step in helping to heal the world. This is a gift to yourself and to humanity. Let yourself remember who you truly are as you embark on a 13 live class journey while we walk hand in hand with the Divine Feminine Goddesses. They have paved the way for us to joyfully, compassionately and fully embrace our authentic selves. The Sophia Code® allows us to heal our past so that we may be present to the miracles asking to be received in the present moments of our daily lives.

Come join me for a special event where we will sit together and open the dialogue for learning how to heal and transform our lives with the loving help of The Sophia Code®. 

Water, tea, and light refreshments will be provided. Please arrive with an open heart and a curious mind.

XOXO - Valiant Valerie, Your Certified Sophia Circle Leader

A little about me: My name is Valerie - I am passionate about all things healing, transformation and empowerment. The Divine Feminine teachings in The Sophia Code® inspired me to become a Certified Sophia Circle Leader. This living transmission sometimes referred to as the “divine feminine christ bible” woke me up to my worthiness to live my best and fullest life. It brought me to the deepest path of healing and has drastically changed my life. I received a full-ride graduate assistantship a year ago and the month prior to the start of the term, I found The Sophia Code®. I read it within a week and knew that this divine feminine mystery school was what I was truly being called to do. I turned down my graduate assistantship and enrolled immediately in the next Sophia Circle Leader Certification class. I am so excited to be bringing the teachings of The Sophia Code® to you now. This beautiful love letter to humanity is exactly what I needed to hear to bring me back to myself and it is my sincerest hope that it can be the light for you to find whatever it is that you need in your life right now.

Ecstatic Dance with Amalia

Sunday, October 9  |  11 am - 12:30 pm ~ Amalia
$10-$20 sliding scale 

Dame Rev. Dr. Wai Ching Lee (Ph.D.) is an intuitive healer, holistic bodywork therapist, Integrative Medicine practitioner, and co-ordinator who created Infinity Quantum Qi Gong in 1990 after a spiritual awakening. 

Her love for dance has its genesis in family gatherings, in Malaysia, rooted in the Peranakan culture of celebratory,  gatherings with dance, music, and food.

She started practicing Qi Gong in the temples with her mother and her passion for movement and exercise expanded to aerobics and exploring different genres of dance during the disco era. 

TranscenDance was birthed from weaving the consciousness of Soma-body intelligence and cellular memory with the embodiment of transformation in the physical body. 

She developed dance as a healing modality for cancer patients and sexually abused women whilst addressing her personal healing, experiencing the mystery and magic of spiritual embodiment in the human form. 

In dance therapy, she supports these women in envisioning their higher self divine image to be manifested into a 3-D reality. Her work is also focused on fertility and children. 

She developed Wai Chi, a therapeutic water dance to bring the benefits of Tai Chi and healing in water to support the inner and outer fluids balance, as a return to the amniotic of the womb.

She offers Dancing with the Divine, embodying the different qualities of the pantheon of deities during 8-day Sacred Sojourns Retreats in Bali and in Bhutan, embodying the qualities of diverse deities of the local pantheon of gods and goddesses. 

She leads TranscenDance and Ecstatic Dances in Bali and now Malaysia, with the adaption of the Cacao Ceremony as an homage to our connection with the Earth, and participated in several dance events, and training others to be Somatic Healers. 

She is also an Associate Producer for www.quantumqimovie.com with Sharron Rose of Sacred Mysteries.
