What is 7Directions?
7Directions is a dance ceremony and healing practice that combines conscious dance, earth-based ceremony, world/pop music, subtle energy work, and creative art to facilitate personal awareness and spiritual growth.
Throughout, we invoke a relationship with seven essential places–east, south, west, north, below, above and within–to create a loving yet powerful sacred container for our highest good and deepest healing
As outer systems crumble, it’s time to locate power inside
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” - Alan Watts
Until recently, 7Directions had only ever happened in the flesh.
But with great trust in the alchemical intelligence of 7Directions and based on a serious need to dance our way through this (r)evolution, founder Staci—with support from current facilitators—brought 7Directions online in April of 2020.
Over 45 Virtual 7Directions' later and we’re noticing some powerful benefits of online dance ceremony.
Practicing dance ceremony at home heightens individual awareness and responsibility in practical, energetic and collective ways.
Practicing dance ceremony on a Zoom screen invites us to dance together—to see and connect--differently.
Practicing dance ceremony at home and online activates individual and collective healing potential simultaneously. We become points of light dancing a web of intentions alive across the planet.
Virtual dance ceremony is an opportunity to practice multidimensional living here, there and now.
To our surprise, Virtual 7Directions is growing something. With seasoned and new dancers gathering virtually from California across the Midwest and East Coast into Mexico, Europe and even Australia. 7Directions is becoming a global dance ceremony community.
And 7Directions needs more facilitators to help hold and facilitate our dancing points of light.
“7Directions is a warm and open-minded space to let loose, process through my emotions physically, and miraculously bring my intentions to reality. Dancing with and bearing witness to the stories of the other amazing women each month has become a safe harbor on my journey.” Diana D.
“7Directions has carried me with grace through an extremely intense and difficult year. Every time I receive an opportunity to drop in, connect with spirit, move energy and express myself fully. Whatever emotions or situations I am working on in life, I can dance with them in circle in a sacred context, and I find I always return to reverence and joy.” Rebecca E.
If you already recognize dance, music and earth-based ceremony as essential, this spiritual practice will feel like coming home.
If a busy life means scheduling your self-care, this monthly three hour experience will nourish you in a timely way.
If you’re a woman or someone who identifies as a woman, yearning to find your voice and dance your truth, this confidential women’s space will hold you with gentle loving strength.
Join Staci Boden and Jane Sanguinetti as they co-facilitate an ongoing women’s circle where the healing potency of free-form dance, eclectic music and creative art meets the nourishing power of a women’s group. Held within an earth-based ceremony, 7Directions creates a loving space for women to connect and transform their lives. Women share, laugh, dance, listen, grieve, learn, celebrate, make art and eat yummy food alongside each other.
After circling up for personal check-ins, we move into dance ceremony. Accompanied by a blend of tribal, world, electronic and pop music, women are free to explore intentions, follow energy, and discover their own sense of rhythm. We complete with drawing and journaling by candlelight before offering blessings. Through each session, 7Directions becomes a nourishing women’s gathering, and also a way to learn how to dance through any life circumstance.
