“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

This 6 week course is a place to increase resilience through weaving of somatic practice, Movement Medicine, neurobiology, science of awe, 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.
This is all about meeting these times resourced and self connected, rather than from a self protective posture. You will be given simple, short practices to tone your nervous system (like toning muscles) towards empowered relaxation through the lens of the Polyvagal perspective of Deb Dana and Dr. Porges.
