Find Joy for the New Year with a “Night of JourneyDance” 

Most of us live in our minds and pay little attention to our physical sensations or reactions that also provide useful information. Because our body wisdom isn’t honored like our mental wisdom, we’ve lost much of our body intelligence and, as a result, emotional well-being.

But if you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to fully open your heart, revel in the vitality of your body, and radiate vibrant energy, Toni Bergins, a holistic healing expert, offers a powerful way to reunite the body and mind and to shift from dissociation to presence. Bergins, an embodiment trailblazer and esteemed faculty member of Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, developed the JourneyDance program as a way to help people explore deep within themselves while embracing the power of movement, expression, and connection in a playful, noncompetitive way.

Bergins has taught at premier holistic health center for the past 27 years.  She has applied her background as a movement artist, dance educator, expressive arts program leader, and expert in creating transformational workshops, to create methods that open a pathway from a place of stagnation to one of flow and limitless possibilities. Bergins has distilled decades of personal development, study, and teaching, into her JourneyDance process that weaves together movement, dance, music, creative visualization, and psychology as a way to awaken creativity and encourage more freedom, openness, and positivity. More than 1,500 people internationally have participated in her JourneyDance programs.

Recently, Bergins published the book, Embody: Feel, Heal, and Transform Your Life through Movement,  that shares her personal journey of healing from trauma and how she came to establish her methods that support a life-changing experience. Her process of reuniting the mind and body to arrive at an authentic sense of presence mirrors the hero’s journey of spiritual growth and self-mastery.

Now, Bergins is offering a livestream JourneyDance event to help people find joy for the New Year. Introducing participants to her treasure trove of transformational tools, the 1-1/2 hour event is designed to unlock the wisdom of the heart through a blend of movement, music, meditation, and self-discovery. 

This first-of-its-kind event will take place from 7:30-9:00pm EST on Saturday, December 28, and is set to be the largest JourneyDance ever, with participants able to join from their living rooms. It promises to be an invigorating way to awaken creative energy and activate positivity for the coming year.

Registration is now open. For more information, visit journeydance.com.
