Healing Dance for Women Six-Week Group
Wednesdays, June 18 - July 23, 2025
7:00-8:15 PM
A new group is forming of Healing Dance for Women, a six-week series. Guided by Sara Draper, this supportive opportunity for women of all ages to bond and heal through a bit of talk and a lot of healing movement will culminate in a group ritual that we create together. At the same time, whether you are grieving, getting reacquainted with your body after surgery or cancer treatment, have suffered sexual or other trauma of any kind, or just want more self-acceptance, this is a safe place for you to find personal, private healing in the company of like souls.
Movement will include luxurious, relaxing floor work that strengthens the body-mind and helps to lovingly ground participants into full embodiment. Various approaches to non-judgmental dance that emphasize sensory experience rather than meeting a stylistic standard will lead to creativity, sheer fun, and will support participants in their journey toward wholeness.
Cost is $130.00 for the entire course. Registration in advance is required.

Cost-Free, Preview/Q&A Session
Wednesday, June 11, 2025
7:00 – 8:00 PM
A single, cost-free, one-hour, experiential Q&A Introduction is available for those curious or interested in the six-week course, “Healing Dance for Women.”
Many of us who need healing have anxiety and wish to know what will occur beforehand…this gives you a chance to find out before you enroll.
The group guide, Sara Draper, will answer your questions and offer a taste of what to expect. Enrollment in the six-week course will be available onsite for those who choose.
Please come dressed to move comfortably and possibly roll on the floor. Stretchy work-out or yoga clothes are ideal, or something similar, with bare feet or socks. No previous dance experience is needed. Please bring your own water bottle.
Although this single session is free, pre-registration is required.
*Once you’ve registered, you will receive detailed directions to precisely locate the studio on the campus. Please note the studio is upstairs and there is no elevator.
Come look into forming a supportive group of women dancing their way towards wholeness!

“This modern dance duet is a whimsical look at male-female relationships and some of the problems encountered in the journey. It speaks to a perennial social issue and potential healing with a touch of humor, using a blend of stylized physical acting and kinetic athleticism.” – Sara Draper
