Children’s Story Telling Festival. Designed for school aged children 4-14yrs.


The program consists of four one hour sessions/workshops per day, each session running for approximately one hour. Ten sessions will be run concurrently in each of the four time slots, allowing children and families to attend a session which is both age appropriate and appealing.

Balingup locals love the opportunity to dress-up, get into character and join in the fun. The local community will once again be encouraged prior to this year's event to participate fully in this way. Dressing up and having fun is of course not only for the children and the locals; accompanying adults can naturally join in the fun too!

I invite you to come and experience the magic of Chakra Dance with me. In this FREEDOM workshop, you will experience a combination of Carl Jung psychology, guided meditation, dance to chakra resonant music & transfer your energy into your mandala art. Chakra Dance heals the mind, body, and soul by releasing trapped emotions in our energy centres. 

Dance and Movement is the language of deep transformation and as we balance our chakras and dance, our inner world and outer world will shift and change. 

This workshop can also be experienced seated or lying down if you prefer as it is a dance of our soul using visualization and solfeggio frequencies. As we leave the ego behind, we connect to our true being of love and light and experience dancing in harmony with our soul. Just close your eyes and allow your body to guide you as you experience the magic of this amazing healing experience.


   BENEFITS OF CHAKRA DANCE    

- helps with anxiety, stress and depression.

- unblocks and balances our 7 main chakras. 

- promotes physical, mental & emotional well-being

- heals & releases unprocessed emotions & traumas that no longer serve us

- awakens in inner strength of power & connection to your true purpose.
