Dancer spirit (any level), do you seek to embody your divine feminine creative expression, love your body, and move deeper into self-love?
Are you on a spiritual journey?
Dance is our birthright and original divine Earth medicine.
Are you ready to reclaim your core creative center (inner and outer), unique beauty, and power...to breathe, move, dance, and create your wellness from the inside-out?
We come together to dance ourselves into wholeness from the center outward. We clear the blocks including trauma (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) that hinder our "dancer" energy and expression and learn to integrate this "dancer's spirit" into our healing process, lifestyle, creative expression, work, relationships. We reclaim that connection with our innate divinity and the natural world.
These issues include (any or all of these):
low self-confidence & negative body image
inhibitions and blocks to dancing coordination
feeling disconnected from your body & center
loss of vitality, passion, libido, creative drive
core-pelvic floor weakness and pain
recovery from abuse, trauma, mental illness (depression, anxiety, panic attacks, dissociation)
low back & hip pain
bloating, constipation, other digestive issues
unhealed post-surgery (abdominal, pelvic, joint replacement, such as c-section, hysterectomy, tummy tuck, hip replacement)
seeking to find the right dance, spiritual, & lifestyle path for your needs
Hidden underneath these layers of injury are your unique beauty & gifts, freedom of movement, strength, deep wisdom, joy, and the divine, powerful goddess that you truly are.
This is a safe place for you to build or strengthen and celebrate this relationship with yourself and other kindred spirit women to heal from trauma, injuries, surgeries, abuse, and disconnection from yourself.
This work includes contributing to the healing of the divine feminine collective of humanity and Mother Nature.
Everyone’s level of connection or disconnection is different so we find a common ground in this intimate group. We always begin with an inquiry about what’s going on with you, your relationship with your body, and your connection to dance.
“Divine Feminine Embodiment” Dance Program is for you if…
(at least a few of these are true):
~You have a dancer’s spirit.
~You want to approach dance as a healing art through the ancient art of bellydance and other feminine dance, spiritual-trance dance & movement, breathwork, meditation, spiritual & intuitive guidance.
~You are on a spiritual path committed to working with your Higher Power/Creator/Source/Holy Spirit/God-Goddess/Love/Light and doing the necessary Shadow Work to heal.
~You want to reclaim dance or feel intimidated but want to dance.
~You have a dance background and seek a holistic approach to dance.
~You are a professional woman on a spiritual path who values and wants to explore her creativity.
~You are committed to the investment of time, effort, and money.
~You want to move your hips and cultivate graceful, meditative, playful, sensual movement.
~You want to connect with your sacral chakra, pelvic empowerment & alignment, and womb wisdom. (This is energetic/spiritual work that includes post-hysterectomy.)
~You want to have safe, strong freedom of movement in your life. All levels are welcome.
~You are seeking natural solutions & lifestyle to address issues that may have continued for many months or years without a clear solution or proper support.
~You are committed to your recovery (ie. transformational healing based in self-care & self-love) after trauma and/or mental illness. This includes any kind of upheaval, setback, abuse, depression, anxiety, dissociation, panic attacks.
~You are looking for someone to work closely with in an intimate group setting, to be accountable to, and for support and guidance; someone to stand with you in a community setting where you can cultivate other loving relationships of mutual support and sharing.
~You value Nature and want to cultivate a deeper connection to and support for the forces of the natural world.
~You want the experience of dancing outdoors in nature and in the studio with other women.

Why Work With Me?
Hello, I’m Morgyn
I am a teacher & guide in movement and energy in the realm of body-mind-spirit connection with decades of experience assisting people in reconnecting with their bodies in a healthy, beautiful way. Every healthy relationship begins with engagement. If we have been feeling disconnected to our bodies, then an effective way to reconnect is through conscious movement and breath. Bringing that loving awareness into our bodies and moving them is all about engagement.
I received my calling to teach bellydance as a healing art in 1997 along with incorporating guided breathwork, meditation, and spiritual guidance as a sacred core-belly-pelvic specialist. For the past 25+ years, I’ve been evolving my multi-disciplinary practice and personal recovery, supporting women of all ages, postpartum mothers & babies, co-ed groups, seniors, youth, pre-schoolers, and had a family-based practice.
“Healer, heal thyself.” I began my career as a “wounded healer”, seeking my own recovery which then led to being trained by my spiritual teacher as a spiritual guide and overcoming personal trauma-based somatic (body-based) & mental health issues after many years of focused recovery with excellent support & guidance (and many falls).
“Be Your Own Hero.” I’m now in my 50’s and thriving with a passionate love for dance, fitness, performance, and supporting others in their recovery. But the work of self-healing & growth is lifelong and requires commitment and humility. I invite you to read my personal recovery story. Never give up!

This program does require the time commitment. I will be supporting you but you must meet me halfway.

Commitment and acceptance to the program requires that one can attend the program.
7.Is there a cancellation fee?
There is a non-refundable deposit for the program. Yes, there would be a cancellation fee which I’ll determine.
Of course if there is an unavoidable serious emergency, we’ll work it out individually. Anyone signing up must be solid and 100% committed.
8.What if my work/schedule will not allow time off for the retreat?
The retreat is a vital but optional component of the program and is a one long weekend commitment.
9.Could I have the option to add massage therapy and/or additional 1:1 sessions with you?
Yes! I offer these services at my studio in Laguna Beach, California as well as virtual coaching and HOUSE CALLS (inquire about rates).
You would have the option to ADD THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE sessions to complement your program. We could discuss the arrangement.
10.Can I continue with you after this program ends?
Yes, you have the option to progress with me. The truth is that the 8-week commitment will give you a foundation for building your dance skills along with your toolkit of recovery and wellness. Depending on your situation that we discuss in your Clarity Call, I may recommend 3 months-1 year to create a deeper transformation. We’ll revisit this possibility as the program progresses.
