The Dance of Relating
Join Lotus for the Dance of Relating, a 3-hour workshop combining somatic therapy, ecstatic dance, partner dance, and conscious relating.
The Dance of Relating is an all-levels initiation into deepening connection with self and other on the dance floor and beyond.
Our bodies are coded with a technology to express our own unique essence, and unlike a structured dance modality, this practice helps you expand your intuitive movement repertoire becoming even more authentic, confident, and attuned with others.
Unlike loud dance floors or nonverbal spaces where we're left guessing how partner or contact dance lands for others, we integrate playful partner exercises to balance the embodied experience with words of impact and empathy.
No matter how comfortable you are with dance and contact, you will become even more empowered and comfortable dancing with others from this practice.
The awareness and connections seeded in the Dance of Relating inevitably ripple onto the dance floor creating an even more cohesive, unified group field of connection.

Facilitation Approach
WE ARE THE MEDICINE...
Lotus brings an M.S. in Somatic Mental Health Counseling and decades of innovation for social healing ~ events, programs, campaigns, and communities supporting a greater connection with our true nature of interconnection and wholeness...
The Dance of Relating workshop combines some of Lotus's favorite modalities into an INITIATION for individuals and community to LIBERATE EXPRESSION, DEEPEN INTIMACY, AND ACCESS ONENESS.
Becoming a Dancing Freedom facilitator in 2009 was one of the earliest influences of this work providing an open source social healing practice reminiscent of ancient indigenous practices of dancing our prayers on the earth with tribe. An approach Lotus has come to see as THE KEY to how humans can integrate trauma and unify together in grief and celebration and everything in between.
Lotus is launching a Bay Area workshop tour Spring/Summer 2026 and is eager to collaborate with other facilitators, venues, and groups interested in uplifting this movement.
Lotus is also available for 1-1 somatic counseling/coaching with insurance and sliding scale payment options.
