SUMMARY:Expressive Arts and Conscious Movement Journey at Ride the Rhythm
DESCRIPTION:This Expressive Arts and Conscious Movement evening is an invitation to explore self-expression through movement\, creativity\, and presence.\n\n\n\nOn March 13th\, Johanne Ascoli and Hassti Hamidi will co-create a gentle\, guided space where creativity and movement meet. \nTheme of the evening is: \nTending the Soil Within: The Space Between Seed and Emergence \nCome move with the intelligence of your body\, with the wisdom of the Earth\, with the strength that emerges when we do this work together. \nThis is how resilience is grown. \nThis is how active hope takes root. \nThis is how we rise stronger\, clearer\, and connected. \nIf you feel called to meet yourself honestly in the space in between\, to tend the soil of your becoming\, and to move with what is ready to emerge\, you are warmly invited to join us. \n\n\n\nTICKETS AND REGISTRATION INFORMATION HERE \n\n\n\nMore about the event: \nSpring is not only about planting seeds\, it’s about tending the soil that allows life to emerge and grow. \nThis workshop offers a space to pause in the in-between\, the liminal space between intention and emergence\, between the seeds we’ve planted and their becoming\, a place to pause and tend the soil within\, to clear of it of any remaining debris so we may offer our seeds of intention the best conditions to grow wild\, free and strong. \nThrough creative expression\, embodied reflection and two conscious movement dance waves\, we’ll tend what is beneath the surface\, naming what has been heavy\, releasing what has been held\, and inviting the body back into aliveness\, play\, and possibility. \nWe are in the in-between. \nThe seeds have been planted\, \nIn the New Year\, \nIn the soil of our hearts\, \nIn our quiet intentions. \nAnd yet\, nothing has fully emerged. \nAt the threshold we stand\, \nBetween winter’s long nights and the lengthening days of spring\, \nBetween who we have been and what is asking to emerge\, \nBetween the shedding of old skins and the courage to become. \nHere we are\, \nIn the pause\, \nBetween dark and light\, \nWhere\, below the surface\, \nRoots are forming\, \nGrowth is asking for patience\, courage\, and care. \nThis space between seed and emergence can be tender. \nUncertain. Heavy. Unsettling. \nIn these times\, when the world feels fast\, fractured\, and demanding\, \nWe are called inward. \nNot to escape\, but to do the honest work that allows life to rise again. \n  \nMeet Johanne Ascoli\nJohanne Ascoli is a French Canadian soulcentric expressive arts therapist and dance journey facilitator who tends the thresholds where body\, soul\, imagination and play meet.\nRooted in trauma-informed\, somatic\, and earth-honouring practices\, she opens creative portals for healing and remembrance\, inviting people back into right relationship with their inner worlds\, with one another\, and with the living web of Life.\nHer work weaves expressive arts\, polyvagal theory\, deep ecology\, eco-psychology\, creative play\, imagination and deep soul listening into journeys to awaken the inner creator\, healer\, and wise self.\nShe lives at Abundance Community Farm\, a land-based project dedicated to decolonizing minds\, bodies\, and hearts on the unceded ancestral lands stolen from the Stó:lō People that settlers named Agassiz (British Columbia). \nCheck out Johanne’s website and social media: \nwww.expressyourheart.com |IG: @expressyourheart | FB: @expressyourheartwithme \n  \nMeet Hassti Hamidi\nHassti Hamidi is an open-format DJ who creates immersive\, multi-genre musical journeys.

It offers a supportive space to slow down\, release stress\, and reconnect with the wisdom of the body\, emotions\, and imagination. No prior dance or art experience is needed — curiosity and openness are enough.

Instead\, it’s all about letting go and allowing the music to guide you\, enabling authentic movement exploration. Conscious Movement Practice has been demonstrated to help with stress and anxiety reduction\, promoting alignment of mind\, body\, soul\, and spirit. During a Conscious Movement Practice session\, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for movement and self-exploration. Everyone\, regardless of their dance experience\, is welcome to participate and enjoy the fun.
