Soul Play

A 3-week Workshop Series for Women

Awaken your Inner Wellspring of Creativity, Vitality and Joy

 

CALLING TOGETHER an intimate group of deep-diving, playful and soulful women to join in a powerful exploration of our Divine Feminine nature.

Together we create a temple of

Celebratory Healing Energy~

A sacred feminine oasis where we can come and drink deeply, gently nurturing our body, mind & spirit. Offering and receiving love, compassion, kindness, and presence, we create a supportive environment where deep healing occurs naturally. Reveling in joy, smiling from the inside out.

This is where pleasure in the body, spiritual awakening, conscious connection and creative play come together in the sweet space of sacred sisterhood.

If this sounds like the soul-nourishment you are thirsty for, you are welcome here!

* * * * *

In our time together, we will draw from:

  • Improv dance, movement and vocal play, to free the Qi!

  • Meditation & Qi Gong- to connect with our life force energy

  • Sharing circle & sisterhood connection - to nourish the heart

  • Acu-savasana - closing with a restorative half hour of deep rest, acupuncture and sound healing

The specific themes and flavor of each gathering will arise in response to the group who comes together! It is an organic, co-creative experience where we collectively surrender to following the energy, honoring the power and mystery of the Divine Feminine as she moves through us.

At the heart of Soul Play is the chance to be fully welcomed in a safe & supportive environment. Each woman is lovingly empowered to listen to her needs, & participate at her own level of comfort.

REVIEWS from Soul Play Participants

"This is the best facilitation I've ever been a part of. Alison has a beautiful energy that feels approachable and always safe. It's incredible that we have Alison here in Charlottesville" - Lindsay Gray

"OMG, THIS is the Red Tent feeling! Its in our bones, in our blood... its in our DNA... It's so natural, and so necessary. And yet, it hasn't shown up for me, in my life... until now!"

"This is an exquisite class! I highly recommend it for any woman of any age and any background! I didn't know how much I needed this until I experienced it. Since being in this class, I feel my body again. I love my body! I feel alive!" - Dawn Scott

 

“ The transformational healing energies from Alison’s class, even after the first gathering, are having a profound effect on my life in a most wonderful way...

I drive in for the class from about an hour away. Even at this distance, I feel ripples of the energy throughout the week. I have been able to imbibe, embody and receive such incredible transmissions for my healing and my energy levels. Already I feel an increased capacity to give and receive love in my relationships, as well as to cultivate an innate knowing of how to let go of what no longer serves me in my life, and to grow in myself new seeds of self-worth.

I feel deeply and richly blessed by these collective co-creative deep womb dives facilitated by Alison’s gracious loving and healing awareness. What a magical gift I gave to myself by delving into this experience with Alison and the Circle...and it’s just begun 💓 “
