The moment we are separate from our parent’s body, the celestial community pauses their orbital dance and huddles close to gaze at the newcomer. They are gigantic, ancient bodies pulsing with Life and Being and as we are first exposed to their faces, like soft clay, we receive an imprint from their energetic radiance. More than just witty sayings about Sun Signs on the internet, digging deep into our birth chart offers us the chance to Understand ourselves and Engage in our evolutionary path- develop who it is we are meant to Be. This workshop is for those looking for that foundational understanding of self; who they are and why, and what for? We will interactively work through the Planetary Beings, the Zodiac signs and the Houses of the birth chart together. Everyone will have a chance to explore their own chart and will leave with a few helpful graphs and charts for further diving.

NEW DATES

In this class we will expand upon the basics and learn how to make your dance more dynamic with cool patterns, variations, along with styling variations for both leaders and followers. Just need to know your basic West Coast Swing patterns. This is a great follow on to the Level 1 basics course.

A comprehensive course on how to regain lost energy and stamina

For women of ALL fitness levels and ages who want to regain their energy and stamina, be more active and enjoy life. Because women are different hormonally and anatomically, they benefit from different strategies and training. For example, women’s lungs and airways are smaller than men’s of the same size. Smaller airways create air turbulence which can make it harder to breathe during exercise. After the 4 Zoom classes, you’ll be invited to join a Facebook community if you wish for continued resources and group support. Carole will continue to be available to encourage, interact with and answer questions until the end of the year.
