Discover the Magic of Dance at Embody Center for the Healing Arts Dance Studio
Join us November 7th
7:00 pm for Ecstatic Dance!
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement journey where the music is our teacher. It aims to provide a safe space for a contemplative, freestyle dance that supports individual expression, physical and emotional well being, and community - in a spirit of sacredness and mutual respect.
Most often the music offered is created from DJ Yamuna (Brietta)!
Brietta sets you up with a personal tool or a movement inquiry that can inspire the musical journey. She is sourcing from her years of studying and leading Conscious Dance through the Soul Motion tradition, which began for her in 2001. Take a trip around the world with these global vibes, that inspire all the different aspects of you to be expressed.
Ancestral Healing Immersion with Larisa Noonan
November 8th-10th, 20204
Held at Embody Studio
WHAT: a 3-day workshop/ritual to bring healing to one of your ancestral lines.
WHY & HOW: Much of the trouble (pain, dysfunctional relationships, stuck patterns) we experience isn’t just ours but is rooted in the unresolved trauma embedded within our ancestral lineages. To shift these patterns, ancestral healing is needed.
When well, our ancestors offer much needed support and personal+familial healing while encouraging healthy self-esteem and helping us to clarify our destiny, relationships, and work in the world.
Through this workshop/ritual, you will learn to relate safely and directly with family ancestors, both helpful guides and the dead in need of assistance. The work will closely follow Dr. Daniel Foor’s book, Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing.
Expect to engage lineage ancestors in heart-centered ritual through prayer/song, deep listening or visioning practices, and group dialogue.
Prerequisite: all are welcome to attend day 1 and/or the full immersion – no previous experience with ritual or ancestral healing is needed.
If you have attended an introductory workshop with me and desire to continue the healing for a line (ie: you’ve met a guide but haven’t completed the healing for that specific line), you are welcome to join us for days 2/3 only.
Reach out to me so I can make certain you are ready to proceed prior to registering – especially if some time has lapsed since you took the intro day+evening workshop.

Cycles with Kelly Jeanne
WHAT: A Committed Series
WHEN: Each New Moon
Nov. 1 - Apr. 27
WHERE: Embody
625 Main St
Join KJ & an intimate group of women as we descend through the dark half of the year together, slowing down to greet this seasonal shift & hold space for one another. Through ritual, metaphor & movement, we will deepen our intimacy with the death-rebirth cycles of the Sun, Moon & Earth, as well as our own bodies, aligning with the natural energies available to us in each moment.
Meet KJ (Kelly Jeanne)
My approach to healing is integrative and holistic, meaning I draw on an array of therapy modalities and wisdom traditions to support the unique needs of the whole person. The sacred container we create together, through mindfulness, ritual and trust, enables us to access our intuition, thus sourcing healing and change from a deep soul level. My primary orientations as a practitioner are somatic (body-based), transpersonal (spiritual), and eco (Earth-based) psychology.
The diverse training I have received as a Trauma-Informed Psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), as well as Dance Teacher (WildCore Movement) and Priestess (Celtic, Rose Lineage), has prepared me for many things. However, I believe it is my own healing journey, my commitment to dying and being reborn again and again, that truly qualifies me to walk this spiritual path with others.
Embody has been an important part of my personal wellness journey, providing a safe, sacred container to return to wholeness. I am honored to give back to this community through teaching WildCore classes, holding space for groups, and offering counseling sessions to individuals, couples and families, out of our beloved therapeutic space.

Evolving through Soma, the body~
Our bodies have an amazing messaging system that we hear through sensations, intuition and instinct. In our modern society we can lose the ability to listen to these subtleties until something catastrophic forces us to wake up. Many of us have had no real training in understanding what the body is communicating or what to do to make it all better. Women's Alchemy for Soulful Wellness is a gateway to understanding your body and reclaiming your power.
I am finishing up my 6 weeks personalized package with Brietta and I feel truly blessed by the tools and healing that has been added to my life and specifically my soul in the time we have spent together. It’s been a phenomenal experience and one I would highly recommend. In fact I plan to bless my daughter with a package as soon as I’m able. If your looking for a Real Life Goddess to help guide your ways AND receive the BEST massages I have EVER experienced then Brietta’s the one!
