Water is ancient, wise, ancestral. Water is the body of life. Like us - she needs to move, change and shapeshift or she grows stagnant. Moving our bodies like water draws us out of our shell, out of our head and into our heart, making our movement more graceful and infusing our life with a deeper sense of connection.
Late October, or Samhain, is known as both the end and the beginning of the year in the Celtic calendar. This is a time to cleanse and liberate our heart by honoring the past year, how we've grown and what what we've lost. We'll collectively create an ancestor altar to connect to our roots and call on support for this time of personal and collective transformation on Earth.
