Dance Love Heal (Season 3 | Episode 120)

Dance Love Heal with Toni & Antoinette (Season 3 | Episode 120) [TESSA] This week I finally can share a conversation with Toni Bergens and Antoinette Sims. We cover a lot of ground, but center our discussion on conscious dance, movement, and healing. And yet. These two women are so wise. Later in this episode, you will hear such a healthy point of view on the end of our lives… the “letting go.” It is so worth hearing. One more thing. How welcome is it to hear an appreciation for, and the embracing of the concept “Crone.” I love that term – as you probably already know. The Crone is also an archetypal figure, a Wise Woman – and it is my mission for us to reintroduce ourselves to this particularly useful word. And I love dancing and drumming to the rhythms of my Crone (after all I am… Tessa Krone!). TESSA KRONE DRUMMING TONI BERGINS Toni is now partner-less and is, temporarily, without her two sons (who are on a grand adventure across Mexico this summer). VISIT JOURNEYDANCE ANTOINETTE SIMS Antoinette has a 20-year-old son. At present, she lives alone (with her lovely dog and best friend). She is looking forward in a way to the time that she is completely alone and all the possibilities can come from that. VISIT ANTOINETTE’S WEBSITE Journey Dance Get out of your mind and back into your body. This is the “journey” in JourneyDance. In modern life, it’s far too easy to stay in our thoughts… but 20 years of dancing have convinced me that everything in our busy lives is calling us home to our bodies. Freedom, self-expression, grounding, sensuality, release, emotion – these are the gifts that are waiting for you when you come home. To your body. To your senses. To inhabit every inch of your life. I want to personally invite you to join the JourneyDance tribe – and discover the journey that only you can make.
