Mothering the Self: A Dance Journey to Reconnect with Inner Wisdom & Unconditional Love

Many of us carry inherited beliefs, emotional patterns, or unresolved experiences around the mother relationship that can impact how we nurture ourselves and connect with our own inner wisdom. In this embodied dance journey, Dance Therapist & Embodiment Guide Aliza Rivka guides you through a sacred practice of dance, breath, meditation, and embodied ritual to reconnect with the energy of unconditional love and discover what it truly means to mother yourself. Through intuitive movement, somatic awareness, and connection with the birth mother, Earth mother, Divine mother, and inner mother, this practice creates space to release old patterns, cultivate self-compassion, and awaken the nurturing wisdom held within your body.
