Move and Be Moved.
We believe that opportunities for healing through embodied, conscious movement—specifically yoga and dance—should not be limited to those who can afford the privilege to attend classes. Our Spiral Goddess Collective Care Fund (SGCCF) attempts to remedy this inequality and increase inclusion by offering free and low-cost programs to the Bangor community as well as sponsored punch-card passes provided through a simple application process.

A trauma-informed approach provides opportunities for empowerment, helping people to respond rather than react when something activates our flight, fight, freeze, and appease reactions. It helps us find emotional balance.
In short, a trauma-informed approach provides options and aims to empower participants to make choices about how to move their body in each moment. It teaches us to pay attention and to align our choices for breath and movement in ways that enhance our mind/body health, relieve stress, and support our overall well-being. Further, a "brave space" or a "safe enough" experience is created to enhance feelings of safety and belonging as well as relaxation and comfort. Yoga and dance are healing modalities—not therapy—but tools to help people tap into their own innate ability toward physical and emotional healing and individual and collective transformation. |
