Temple of Dancing Wholeness
is a sacred and supportive sanctuary
for women to deepen their dance with life.
We offer dance-based women's
seasonal circles, rituals, retreats and embodiment depth programs.
You will find women from all walks of life-
ages ranging from 20s through 80s.
Some who have been dancing their whole lives and
others who are recently called to the path.
Every dance is a ritual.
How you move and IF you dance is completely up to you.
We specialize in offering a grounded,
clear container within which one's feminine nature
(both divine and wholly human) can awaken, express,
heal, be still and wild.
The feminine is rising to rebalance and heal the world.
Come dance and circle with your sisters.
Dance the light, dark and wholeness of who you are.
Love yourself. Love your body.
Be gentle and begin.
You are not alone.
Welcome.
Founding Priestess
Heather Munro Pierce
is a dancer, mother, embodiment guide and consciousness teacher. She has been leading movement for over 30 years and has held sacred space for over 1500 women's circles. This has resulted in manifesting her long-held dream of creating a modern-day women's dance temple.
In addition, she has been fortunate to teach nationally and internationally including at Esalen, Spirit Rock, the Omega Institute and the Science and Non-duality Conference.
Heather has developed a body of work and a style of facilitation that nurtures
embodiment and the unfolding feminine soul.
Her passion for teaching and leading springs from her own experience with dance and embodied awakening as a path to healing, health and wholeness.
Tending the Flame
Heather is thrilled to be joined by
many dancing sisters in the
ongoing care and growth of the
Women's BodyMystik Dance Community.
