Jun 28, 2023
When my friend first invited me to join her at a silent retreat I instantly thought about a 10 day Vipassana silent retreat which means "to see things as they really are" and instantly declined until she explained more.
In episode 105 I talked about my own experience and now I'm back with Dara who ran the Silent and Dance retreat that I recently attended to share more.
Dara, a dance intuitive teacher, shares her inspiring journey of overcoming a life-changing accident and how it deepened her relationship with dance and her body.
Dara's an intuitive dance teacher and her life story is truly inspiring. After experiencing a life-altering accident, she found solace and healing through dance.
Listen to this episode to discover how incorporating silence and dance as practices can help you reconnect with your body and express your true self.
Listen to this episode to discover:
- How the retreat provided a safe space for me to let go, engage in self-care, and truly discover who I am through dance
