What is Daw’ra

Daw’ra is a developing movement practice, born from dance and lived experience. Inspired by somatic and depth psychology, understanding the body as intelligent and expressive of the inner world. The practice approaches movement not as choreography to performance but as a way of listening to sensation, impulse, memory and image. Meeting what's present with curiosity.

This is a space for inquiry through the body. A space to notice how we inhabit ourselves.

Guided by the rhythm of the seasons — emergence, expansion, harvest and descent.

What to Expect?

We begin by pausing to notice our inner world through a somatic lens, gradually deepening into the practice. The focus is inward. It’s about self-inquiry, not for correction, but for information. The mind speaks in words, the body speaks in another language another layer - and this is where we move from in daw'ra…
