Womb Shakti Dance

Ecstatic Dance & Sacred Women's Circle
Dance the wild feminine alive

Womb Shakti Dance is a sacred ecstatic dance and women’s circle.

An afternoon of womb-centred movement, voice and cacao ceremony where your body’s wild wisdom comes alive. No experience needed. All female-bodied women welcome.

Sunday 27 September 4-7:15pm

Soma Women’s Wellbeing, Dickson, Canberra

There's a fire in you that's been waiting to move.

Not the polished, managed version of you. The one underneath, wilder, freer, more alive. The part that knows how to move without permission, make sound without apology, and inhabit her body with delight.

Womb Shakti Dance is one afternoon to let her out.

A sacred women’s circle in Dickson where your body’s own wisdom awakens through movement, voice, cacao, and the deep medicine of being witnessed in your fullness. No choreography. No right way to move. Just you, finally allowed.

This isn’t only a movement practice. It’s a homecoming, three hours to feel what becomes possible when nothing in you has to perform.

For three hours, you get to be the woman who doesn’t hold back.

You’ll descend out of your busy mind and into the felt sense of your body. You’ll connect to your heart, your voice, and the sacred portal of your womb. And you’ll move as Shakti moves you, swaying, stretching, stillness, spinning, whatever wants to rise.

“There’s something so sacred about women dancing in a space where there’s no judgement, no competition, just expression and movement and fun. You could feel everybody letting go.” ~ Holly

There’s nothing to get right here. As one woman put it, the whole practice is about awakening parts of you through freedom in movement, and letting go of judgement of your body.

What Happens in a Womb Shakti Dance Circle

🌸 Blessing Ritual
Be welcomed into the temple with anointing oils and the gentle embrace of plant medicine allies.
 
🌸 Heart Opening Cacao Ceremony
Open our hearts with ceremonial cacao as we create our intentions for the practice.
 
🌸 Somatic Meditation
Begin by dropping deeply into presence, creating a soft, receptive inner landscape.
 
🌸 Womb Connection
Using your intention, imagination and intuition to connect to, and explore the rich, sacred terrain of your womb space. This feminine embodiment practice honours your womb as an energetic portal of creation, intuition, and feminine power.
 
🌸 Voice Activation
Release and express what’s been held inside. Through sound, singing, and intentional sharing, you’ll discover the medicine of your voice – raw, unfiltered, and beautifully yours.
 
🌸 Shakti Yoga Warm-Up
Gentle, flowing movements to unwind tension and open your body, preparing you for deeper exploration.
 
🌸 Organic Movement & Free Dance
Let Shakti – the divine feminine energy – guide your movement. No choreography, no right or wrong. Just pure, authentic expression.
 
🌸 Rest & Integration
Surrender into a profound state of relaxation, allowing the journey’s wisdom to settle into your cells.
 
🌸Sharing
Express in your voice what arises within to be heard by another. Witness the authentic expression of other women in their essence.
 
🌸 Light refreshments
We conclude our sacred time together sharing light refreshments, allowing the journey to gently integrate as we nourish our bodies and continue our connection in a softer, more informal space.

Ecstatic dance for women. No experience needed

Honestly, there’s nothing to do correctly. Swaying counts. Stillness counts. Lying on the floor counts. Your body already knows the way.

Most women feel a flicker of “should I be doing this?” at the start. That’s normal. It passes the moment you let other people’s voices fall away.

“I found it really confronting at first. I felt silly. But once I put other people’s expectations out of my mind and just got into it… nothing compares.” ~ Holly

You don’t need dance experience. You don’t need to move ‘correctly.’ You don’t even need to feel ready. You just arrive as you are, and I hold the space for whatever wants to emerge.

What You Carry Out With You

This is the part that surprises women. You don’t just have a lovely afternoon and return to normal. Something stays.

“Afterwards I felt on top of the world. I noticed this little fire at my solar plexus, and every time I thought about it, it made me smile. I was conscious of how much I liked my body. How much I liked being me. That fire stayed with me, it unlocked self-belief I didn’t even realise was missing.” ~ Holly

“Since the circle, I’ve felt more sovereign in my body, more direct in myself and my boundaries. Something had been bubbling to the surface, and the circle allowed me to step into it.” ~ Briony

A fire at the solar plexus. More sovereign. More direct. That’s the medicine of one afternoon, and it’s a glimpse of how you’re able to live when you keep tending it.

Womb Healing Through Movement and Voice

My journey to holding these circles began in my own body’s yearning for wild expression. Years of feminine embodiment practice, Shakti Yoga teacher training, and my work as a bodywork practitioner have woven together into this offering.

What I’ve learned is that transformation happens not through force, but through offering such unconditional acceptance that your body naturally unfurls into its wisdom. That understanding lives in every element of how I hold space, the intuitive knowing, the musical journey-weaving women find so powerful, and above all, a container where you feel completely witnessed in your authentic expression.

“To journey in the utterly safe container Kate holds is deeply nourishing, life changing and evolutionary. I come away filled to overflowing… every woman will feel the benefits of this.” ~ Aminya

🌹 Rose Medicine: Opening Your Heart to Love

Rose is the medicine of the heart – ancient, sacred, and deeply feminine. As you enter our temple, you’ll be blessed with rose oil, breathing in rose-infused air that immediately signals to your nervous system: you are safe to soften here.
 
Our ceremonial cacao will be lovingly prepared with rose tea, creating a heart-opening elixir that invites you to drop deeper into love – love for yourself, love for your body, love for your wild expression.

Rose medicine teaches us that true strength comes through softness, true power through vulnerability.

Rose invites you to:

  • Open your heart to receive love
  • Release the armor around your tender places
  • Remember that your sensitivity is your superpower
  • Trust in the wisdom of your gentle fierce

This work calls to women when they're ready. Only you know if this is your time.

If your heart is stirring… if something in you recognises the medicine being offered here… trust that knowing.

You don’t need dance experience. You don’t need to know how to ‘move correctly.’ You don’t even need to feel ready.

You just need to arrive as you are.

If this speaks to your heart, I invite you to join our circle.

With love and anticipation of dancing alongside you,

Kate

After the Dance

Many women find that one afternoon awakens something they want to keep tending, that fire they don’t want to let go of. If that’s you, a similar practice lives on in a weekly rhythm through Shakti Yoga Flow, my 8-week feminine embodiment circle in Canberra, and in the deeper containers I hold through the year.

There’s no pressure to know now. Come dance. See what your body says.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ecstatic dance is free, unchoreographed movement to curated music, with no steps to learn and no right way to move. At Womb Shakti Dance it's held as a sacred, women-only circle, woven together with womb connection, voice and cacao ceremony.

None at all. If you can sway, stand, or lie on the floor, you can do this. There's no choreography and no performance, just your body moving the way it wants to.

This 3 hour journey will be held at the Soma Women's Wellbeing in Dickson, Canberra.

Full details will be provided upon booking.

Womb Shakti Dance is specifically for female women interested in exploring a movement & free-dance practice as a way of connecting with their body, while being in a circle with other women. Womb Shakti Dance honors the unique wisdom of the female body and creates a container for women to explore this together.

No. These circles are specifically for female bodies. The practice focuses on the unique physiology and energetics of the female body, connecting to womb space and feminine energy centers.

Yes! This is for all females. If you have had your womb removed, you still have the blueprint and energetic essence of the womb within you. During practice you will be invited to bring your awareness and attention to your womb space, and you can connect to the essence of this energy which still lives within you.

Nope!

All bodies, all shapes, all ages and all fitness levels are welcome. This practice is more about the FELT sense, rather than 'performing' or getting something 'right'. No prior experience is necessary.

You will be guided with somatic cues and encouraged to listen to the needs of your own body throughout the practice to make adjustments that meet the needs of your body. Upon registering you will be asked to send through any any physical limitations or injuries to let me know how I can best support you.

Womb Shakti Dance is an integration of multiple elements rarely found together:

  • Womb-centered practice that honors your female body as a gateway to wisdom
  • Both structured movement and organic expression
  • Sound medicine through voice activation and singing
  • Circle of women creating collective energy

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and feel at ease in your body. Layers are recommended as your body temperature may change throughout the practice. All equipment (mats, blankets, etc.) is provided, but you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Simply bring a water bottle and anything else you need for your comfort.

Your registration secures your place in our circle. Due to the limited spaces available:
  • Full payment is required to secure your booking
  • If you need to cancel more than 14 days before the start date, you'll receive a 50% refund
  • No refunds are available for cancellations within 14 days of the start date or for non-attendance
  • In exceptional circumstances, I may consider transferring your registration to a future event (at my discretion)
This policy allows me to create a committed container for our sacred work together.

My Invitation to You

I welcome you to join me in this wild, passionate, and deeply fulfilling venture of knowing your body as a temple of revelation and wisdom.

May we feel it in our radiant and carefree smile.

May it be scented on our skin, and in our sweat and tears.

May it be seen in our movements and wild dance.

May we taste with pleasure the ripeness of our fullness, its sweetness and spiciness.

May it be heard in our ecstatic sounds and uninhibited expressions.

May we know it in our bodies, our bones and our blood.

May we BECOME who we are here to BE.

With love,
Kate
