As dancers, as women, our body is our creative vessel. It is our home. It is what we birth and sustain life through. What we live in and inhabit every day of our lives. Temple Body Arts, to me, means practices and arts that honor the body as our temple, with intention, prayer, expression, and individual creativity and voice. It’s about tuning IN to the present moment, and what’s most alive or present for you in the moment, cultivating a positive, healing relationships with our bodies. It includes practices that return us again and again to our home, our embodied spirituality, our emotions, our present moment, our creativity, and -as women- our embodied feminine power and expression, which is so important now on this planet! To learn to more fully inhabit and accept our temple body, honor the sacred temple within, bring our awareness back in and through the body as a gateway in to mind, spirit, healing, we can move from that place of center, core, Truth, (“Sattyabody”), in all that we do out in the world. For me, it is through Yoga, movement, dance, body energetics practices, artistic expression, tribal fusion belly dance, and performance arts that I find my unique expression of Temple Body Arts and guide others back into themselves as well. And, through our tribe of empowered, embodied, shakti sisters, we form a collective Temple Body Arts community, inspiring each other through our deepest embodiment, expression, and Truth. <3
I fully join and support Sofiah’s mission to awaken humanity to the wisdom, power, and magic living within their Temple Body. It’s been such an honor and joy to witness the evolution of this awakening and Temple Body movement over the past decade (or more) of knowing, dancing, deepening, and collaborating with Sofiah in various temple body incarnations. You are a bright light and a gorgeous embodiment of all that you stand for and are passionate about, and are helping women all over the world wake up to their own juicy embodiment, sensuality, and creativity, and inspiring women everywhere to fully live their YES! and dance the canvas of their dreams awake. Luv u mucho… <3 <3
