DANCE OUR WAY HOME testimonials:

"Erica calls us home to ourselves through our own dance in our own time. She holds sacred space and deliciously facilitates us to slip out of our everyday and immerse ourselves in the beauty, power and truth that lay beneath the surface of our being."  Caro Cloutier

"Dance Our Way Home is a rare opportunity for women to heal in community. It's a blessing to us all."  Mari Rossi

"I come in stressed, tense, fragmented, agitated, irritated, and always leave the workshop feeling gathered, whole, peaceful, loving, loved, complete, feeling connected to everyone and everything. Namaste."  Noreia Sacoor

"I was struck and moved by the POWER in the room, especially when we moved into the group portion of the dance. I think most of us as women feel fairly small in one way or another as we move through our lives in a world where we're barely recognized; we restrict and constrict our Selves. And then, as the dance moves on, we begin to blossom. By the time we met one another in the larger group dance I was BLOWN AWAY by the immense power that existed in that room. There is nothing that could have entered that space that we couldn't have dealt with. No threat felt too big that we couldn't have faced together. We were (are) a force to be reckoned with and we keep each other safe. I still can't fully grasp the experience with words, this is the closest I come, but it was extraordinary."  Tabitha Kot

"You have created a healing gift for women not available elsewhere. Congratulations, Erica!"  Jenn Hicks

"Before the workshop I felt disconnected from my true self and other people and uprooted from the earth. After the workshop I feel my body. I feel acceptance towards myself. I feel that I am more understanding; I am more connected to the woman inside myself. I feel that I got in touch with my joy."  Lucy Tishkina

"Deeply authentic & honouring movement practice. Celebrating my womanly-self & circle of women."  Tamika Neilson

"Fabulous outlet for self expression. Great music mix. Wonderful chemistry with wide variety of women - not thru words but thru motion. At the end, I was completely spent but thrilled."  Paula Gardner
