‘There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the earth, there are hundreds of ways to dance the soul awake’
What makes your soul dance? Lift your head, open your chest and stand with a gentle dignity while the earth dreams you and the sky rises above you.
SoulDance is an investigation of presence through movement, music, stillness and the self-arising wisdom of the circle. This is a gathering of souls who wish to dance while they are here in this life. To dance with their innate and natural beauty, their inevitable grief and their humanity. Our bodies function as intricate ecosystems, intertwined with various communities within the natural world. From the subtle movements at the cellular level to the expressive power of our muscles, we resonate with each other and the wider cosmos as we move through existence.
There are as many ways to dance as there are flowers in the meadows or humans on the earth. Presence is the key and the doorway in all of them. Your dance brings you here into your embodied experience, into your longing and into your life. At SoulDance we will gather to explore presence together.
We’ll awaken conscious embodiment through Ecstatic Dance, Contact Improvisation, and a rich array of somatic practices including Body-Mind Centering, Somatic Experiencing, Dance Therapy, and other exploratory dance and movement forms. Gathering as a circle and community, accompanied by live music and storytelling, we move towards understanding and remembrance to nourish our souls and body-mind systems.
We are all in this together.

Is this festival for me?
You do not need to be a dancer to be here, SoulDance is a gathering to learn new skills like somatic movement and embodiment of your inner experience. It is a chance to connect with other like-hearted people and to simply drop into a more balanced way of being.
Supported by the healing embrace of the forest and the Ängsbacka community, SoulDance is a chance to recharge and rest, to awaken and re-invigorate ourselves so that we can return to our lives as more loving and integrated individuals hopefully bringing a little more balance to the everything around us, our families, our communities and our earth.

KaSia Soraya & Ben Bushill
Program Coordinators
Kasia Soraya and Ben Bushill are working together to bring us gently to the place where we meet ourselves and our humanity in love. As therapist and poet, lover and beloved, woman and man their passion is the remembrance of a life lived in its fullness, of a life lived in love. Their work is to bring us to a willingness to embrace grief and transition, love and heartbreak, joy and celebration. The real re-enchantment of our lives here on earth.
KaSia Soraya embraces many roles, from law, therapy, pedagogy to arts, all while raising two children. She concentrates on holistic well-being, creating spaces that foster harmony in Mind, Body, and Spirit, all rooted in authenticity and groundedness. With a profound commitment to nurturing the Soul, she values the significance of mythopoetic thought, symbolism, and wonder. Her passion lies in fostering self-regulation and resilience, advocating for compassion and loving-kindness.
Ben is a poet, mystic and ritual space holder using words and ceremony to bring us to the point of remembrance and the recognition of our humility and majesty as an integral and perfect part of the unfolding wave of existence. His books and recordings are listened to and read all over the world.
