Dance & conscious movement to activate 5 elemental forces of love & healing

Embody the sacred & activate greater health & wellbeing.

As we are literally made of the Earth, integrating elements of earth, water, fire, air, and ether in how we move through life can help us remain balanced and coherent — just like nature itself.

These forces also serve as powerful change agents on pain, illness, overwhelm, chronic conditions, and even disease — all of which are tell tale signs of an elemental imbalance, says embodiment and sacred dance teacher Banafsheh Sayyad. 

Banafsheh’s approach to health adds soul to somatics as she guides us on how to balance our bodily systems, release trauma, and reestablish a loving, conscious connection with our bodies and our divinity that supports optimal wellbeing.

Join us for a free online event to illustrate how sacred dance can help us summon and integrate the elements that we most need right now to awaken greater vitality, mobility, self-regulation, and joy. Register here.

Every element has a corresponding body movement, says Banafsheh, that can nourish and fuel your body systems — and your mental, emotional, and spiritual health and wellbeing. 

Her approach to embodied health is anchored by a MFA in Dance from UCLA, a MA in Traditional Chinese Medicine, extensive study of Gurdjieff movements and philosophies, Sufi whirling, mystical poetry, and sacred initiation into Divine Feminine wisdom.

During this empowering online event, you’ll:

• Discover how sacred dance can catalyze the healing element that you need to shift your state, instill calm and clarity, heal your ailments, and come into physical, mental, and emotional coherence
• Be guided through a 15-minute sacred dance practice that activates 5 elemental forces to release (fire) overwhelm and stress, ground (earth) in peace and calm (water), generate awareness (air), and become still (ether)
• Gain powerful insights from an acclaimed embodiment teacher on how to embody the sacred through movement practices that balance, heal, and instill greater mobility, strength, and joy by weaving your physicality and spirituality together
• Learn how activating the elements through sacred dance can help you process and release emotional trauma and energetic blockages through movements, visualizations, and embodiment practices that are supported by Traditional Chinese Medicine and deep spiritual inquiry
• Begin to reclaim physical and spiritual vitality, awareness, courage, and confidence by reconnecting with your body in a sacred, supportive, and empowering space

Knowing how to activate the right element at the right time can help you regain stability and inner balance — and heal what ails you, while also instilling a felt sense of health, clarity, calm, strength, and capacity.

In learning how to embody the sacred with Banafsheh, previous students have also eased if not alleviated stiffness and muscle contractions, emotional overwhelm, mental fixations, anxiety, and depression, circulatory health conditions, chronic conditions — and began to reconnect with their true selves and others in an easeful, open, and meaningful way.

If this calls to you, I’d love it if you’d join us tomorrow to explore this very special approach to wellness. 

Banafsheh emanates a relaxed, awakened grace that is contagious, calming, and joyful to be around.
