Farah Orths (Rising) & I delve into the juicy topic of dance and how it is a reflection of our journey through life and how it is interconnected with birth. Dance is so deeply intertwined with the ebbs and flows of life and of birth and Farah bring such wisdom and medicine into this podcast. We talk of the freedom and healing which is held on the other side of embodiment and Farah unearths the myths about dance and what we’ve been taught in our society. We speak about how dance can be deeply healing and moving and how it connects us deeply to the divine within, releasing trauma and ancestral stories. We share our own experiences and advice on how you can start to bring dance into your own journey for healing & growth.  IG @farahrising Link to The Temple of Dance https://www.canva.com/design/DAEc5C0Km_E/QngR_tsu2Na8E2EWnVG8MQ/view?website#2:pleasure You can find me on @becwallisbirthkeeper
