Episode 080 Erica Ross, She Reflects, a spiral journey for the feminine soul
Erica Ross brings the wisdom of over 40 years work in the creative, healing and spiritual arts. Erica infuses her life experience as a dancer, artist, DJ, facilitator, trainer, sister and mother into the pages of her newly published book, She Reflects: A Spiral Journey for the Feminine Soul, and the accompanying, She Reflects Journal and Colouring Book. As a dancer, artist and facilitator of healing, expressive and sacred experiences, and the co-founder of, The Move Dance Collective—Toronto's largest ecstatic dance community—Erica has dedicated herself to the "liberation and healing of the feminine soul." Her work in this includes, Dance Our Way Home, and Radical Radiance, 2 healing processes that facilitate the discovery and re-discovery of women's own unique gifts, power, and voices.
As Erica says, she has followed her wild heart and creative impulses around the globe since the early 1970's, making homes in Canada, the USA, Indonesia and Wales. She shares that dance, creativity and unveiling the power of the Divine Mirror has been her life's work and her calling.
Erica shared the powerful story of the goddesses Amaterasu and Uzume, and this episode might be worth listening to just to hear that, but she goes on to share the power of being clear mirrors for each other, and how that work is part of the gift of being in true community. Erica shares the potential for ecstatic dance to bring us home to our bodies' wisdom, in particular our womb wisdom and the power of tuning into our own beat. She says, "We're awakening, stirring, rising... connecting and dancing. We're exploring coming home to ourselves and claiming our right to re-order the world... and our dear Gaia needs us to do just that for the well-being of all."
