Dance for the World - 17 June 2023

My session in June is a charity fundraiser, I’m joining 5Rhythms teacher Angela Lord at YAMA Studios for an afternoon of dance and we are donating all proceeds to Glasgow refugee charity Refuweegee.

As well as an afternoon of dance on the theme of journeys, home and belonging we'll also take time at the end of our dance to write welcome cards to newly arrived refugees. Welcoming newly arrived refugees to Glasgow is at the heart of Refuweegee's work and handwritten cards from local residents are an important part of this warm welcome.

So bring with you - a card and pen, and food/snacks as at the end we'll have time to sit, chat and eat together if you'd like to.

Come and dance and donate!

Date: Saturday 17th June

Time: 2.30-5.30pm

Venue: YAMA, 7 Milnbank Street, Glasgow G31 3AQ

Suggested donation: £15

Retreats at Dhanakosa

For a deeper dive come on retreat - a week of movement practice, meditation and Buddhism - on the shores of Loch Voil in wild and beautiful Balquhidder Glen in central Scotland.

I’ll be teaching movement on these retreats in 2023:

Wild swimming, embodied movement and meditation                                                                                                                        21-28 July                                                                                                                                                                                                An introductory retreat, open to all.
