Mission

 

Used with skill and sensitivity, dance, music and participatory arts provide life-changing supports for people emerging from trauma.

​

Dance is therapeutic in many interconnected ways. As awareness shifts to the here-and-now, anxieties drop away and jangled nerves are soothed. Structured rhythmic movement restores coherence. An experience of balance and 'flow' fosters poise, agency and helps people to interact. Frozen emotions thaw.

​

Human society worldwide has been shaped by our violent past.

 

For a harmonious, sustainable world we need to reconfigure our culture and our nervous systems towards trust and kindness. This project is part of that quest.
