Mythic Woman Dances
Restoring Psyche and Soul Through
Ancient Story & Movement
An In-Depth Weekend Immersion in Copenhagen
October 6-8 2023
With Stefana Serafina
Who is the Mythic Woman?
We don't have to call her by the same name to recognize her.
Bone Woman, Wolf Woman, the Well Maiden, Inanna, Persephone, Mad Woman, Witch....
The Mythic Woman comes in many expressions and faces, but regardless of the oral tradition of her origin, her heirloom is unmistakable– the wild, the instinctual, the intuitive, the earthly and the cyclical, the poetic, the mysterious, the sensuous.
Inside us, she is DNA, both personal and collective, that keeps the codes for what is never-to-be-lost of the feminine earthly spirit– and she is most easily evidenced in our bodies when we feel, sense, and move with freedom, dancing on the edge between our mythopoetic identity and our mundane lives.
At important intersections of our lives, Mythic Woman finds us to infuse us with a new role, give us a torch to carry, entrust us with the carving out of a new path, induce us into a necessary life-and-death passage, or gives us a new “assignment”. But whatever she conjures up in our lives, her greater mission is one and the same:
To make more soul for the world. To put the loose ends together and repair the broken tapestry of a world that has forgotten her but has gone mad without her.
The Invitation
During the immersive weekend, we will gather with a powerful community of women, and you will be invited "in-between the worlds", to the edge where the mythic meets the ordinary– to explore both your longing and our responsibility to revive aspects of the mythic feminine and bring them into the ecosystems of a world starved for her soul and genius– and for yours.
We will weave a web of stories from Europe, the Americas, and the Old Indigenous World, which tell of formative Mythic Woman characters, each one centering a specific role and purpose as a carrier of deep feminine psyche. We will "move inside the story", and you will be guided through our unique movement and Deep Body Movement practices to investigate how YOU uniquely embody the qualities of the respective mythic women, how they inform your soul story at this time, and what specific keys and assignments they have for your personal heroine’s journey forward.
some of the mythic women whose stories we will explore as our own :
Who is this for?
If you are looking to...
-
to reconnect to the most essential aspects of your personal myth & your personal legend
-
to rediscover and live rooted in the instinctual, emotional, sensual, and ancestral intelligence of your body
-
to see your life, your obstacles, pains, and possibilities through the lens of myth and story and receive embodied medicine and 'advice' for your path from collective heroines who still live in our psyche
-
if your body is longing to stretch into a greater shape of you, toward a greater horizon, into more freedom, aliveness, and soul
-
if you already suspect that you yourself are no different than a mythic woman on a long journey home to the ancestral feminine
What if you have already participated in a Mythic Woman Dances course before?
Not only the content is new, but each time you dive into the mythic feminine psyche, you drink from the well and your root is nourished for many moons to come. Your body feels and goes deeper into the explorations and develops new patterns of wholeness and health. Your soul is rejuvenated and inspired anew by the great, pulsing rhythm of feminine consciousness that you receive in your body. You walk back into the world like a living secret that is casting a spell on everything around you, and, with a new power alive in your feet, hips, breasts, and arms, you create your life's dimensions as you have always desired.
