From stillness to motion, from roots to wings

 

“There’s a community already existing underground
that’s growing us into being…”

From Stillness to Motion, From Roots to Wings

ROOTS :: Dance Practice invites you into a space of grounded connection and creative expression. Through dance, music, and poetry, we root ourselves deeply into the earth, connect authentically with others, and celebrate the rhythms of life in all their beauty and intensity.

This journey begins with a return to the inner landscape. Together, we co-create a safe and expansive space where stillness and movement meet. Here, we explore what wishes to emerge—allowing breath, sound, and motion to flow freely. With each step, we honor the layers of life’s depth and joy, expressing what lies beneath the surface and celebrating the unique stories we carry.

​

A journey back to our roots
During ROOTS, participants are guided through an experience that weaves together moments of reflection, movement, and co-creation:

• A Grounding Opening
  Begin with an intention-setting ceremony around a central altar. This sacred space invites participants to root themselves in the present moment, reflect on their inner journeys, and connect with the energy of the group.

• Poetry and Music as Guides
  Through live spoken word and curated soundscapes, the session encourages participants to connect with their emotions and stories. Caroline’s original poetry, interwoven with music, becomes a thread that carries the group into deeper exploration.

• Free Expression Through Dance
  As the rhythm builds, the dance floor transforms into a canvas where every movement becomes an act of self-expression. Participants are invited to move as they feel—soft or wild, inward or outward, embracing all that arises.

• Moments of Silence and Reflection
  Silence is woven into the flow, offering space for integration and presence. These pauses create a balance that grounds the energy of the group and allows for deeper connection to self and others.

• A Closing Celebration
  The experience concludes with a reflective and celebratory ritual, honoring the shared journey and expressing gratitude for the beauty of the moment.

 

Grounding in the flow of nature
The heart of ROOTS lies in its poetic essence. Caroline S’Jegers brings her signature blend of spoken word and musical storytelling to each gathering, creating a space where sound and silence invite unfolding. Her words and melodies act as gentle invitations to:

• Root into the earth’s grounding energy.

• Awaken the wisdom within the body.

• Expand into the freedom of creative expression.

​

“Let your body move,
and your mind thrive.

​

Let your soul flow free,
and your heart expand.

​

Deeply rooted,
our wings can fly high.”
