Module 1 – DJ & Facilitator
Intention for our first weekend is Embodiement. It is important that we have a solid understanding of what conscious dance is for us to be able to share it with others.

Module 2- Team Building, Event Planning & Implementation
Intention for Module 2 is Harnessing your Vision. There are many moving parts to bringing a conscious dance event to life. As with everything we must be clear on our vision for it to manifest.
