Welcome to our In Person Facilitator Training & Retreat: Embark on a journey to become a Certified Ecstatic Dance and Somatic Movement Facilitator with an In-Person Training Retreat led by Arielle Star, founder of Heal Through Dance.
-
Learn the foundational tools to craft your own powerful somatic movement experiences - infused with intention, ritual and your unique creative voice. We provide the structure; you bring it to life!
-
Somatic Embodiment: Discover a complete system of somatic movement practices designed to guide you-and those you serve-from the mind into the deep intelligence of the body. Those tools support the emergence of free-fom, intuitive movement rooted in presence and self-awareness.
-
Ecstatic Dance: Receive an ecstatic dance music library (via Spotify) with many playlists already created. We give you a system for creating your own playlists and help you get started with lots of pre-made playlists. You can take our Spotify playlists and re-create them in any other music service that you use.
-
Energy Practices: Don't pick up what others are releasing! As a facilitator it is important to keep your energy field clear and your dance space clear. People in your class will be releasing and letting go and we teach energetic practices for clearing and protecting your energy field.
-
The Elements and The Chakras: Explore a rich dance map rooted in the Elements-Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Sound and Light-each aligned with the seven Chakras. You'll receive movement practices to awaken each energy center, along with curated music to evoke the feeling tone of every Element.

Testimonial
I recently had the pleasure of participating in Star's Heal Through Dance Facilitator Training, and it has completely transformed my practice. Star's program flows so smoothly, making it incredibly easy to follow and absorb the powerful knowledge shared.
The transformative experience I had with this training program is beyond words. Star's expertise in the realm of dance and healing is evident throughout the course, and I felt my own understanding and abilities as a heal-through-dance facilitator expanding and evolving with each module. The program goes beyond just the physical movements, delving into the emotional and spiritual aspects of dance, resulting in profound personal growth.
What truly sets Star apart is her patience and guidance. She creates a safe and inclusive space, allowing each participant to explore their unique style and approach. Her invaluable feedback and support fostered a deep sense of trust, making the entire experience even more impactful.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Star's Heal Through Dance Facilitator Training to anyone looking to integrate dance into their healing practices. The ease of use and transformative nature of the program, combined with Star's expertise and nurturing guidance, make it an exceptional resource. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from Star and for the positive impact it has had on my practice.
Thank you, Star, for sharing your wisdom and making this journey so remarkable. -Shannon
