Awakened Bellydance with Katie Holland & Live Music

Let's Dance with the Mysteries ~

The search for one's true origin and the desire to return to the source from which the soul came.

We dance the sacred geometry of the body—spirals, curves and waves accompanied by ney and daf.

Release and attune to your higher mystical, inner rhythms and unite in joy with your divine heart.

A heightened awareness awakens within the body, mind, spirit, and emotional landscape—opening a pathway to deeper presence, truth, and inner sacred union.

Katie will lead you in an embodied dance process. Fady and Serap will immerse us in hypnotic sounds and melodies.

Let's explore our inner heartscape 💜

This is a dance therapy experience , not a bellydance technique class.
