Majickal Bellydance Workshop Information

The Seven Circles
of Majickal Bellydance
with Leanne Margaret
Join us as we thaw the winter chills and begin raising energy ready to devote to spring’s beginning. The Seven Circles Workshop will take place as the Winter Solstice passes and the Sun begins to lengthen our days
Focusing on our own private dance enjoyment, the Seven Circles Workshop is 2 hours of energy raising dance with some meditation breaks to contemplate our inner experience and rest the body. It dances like a taster workshop, including a warm up session and progressive dance drills to awaken the whole body and spirit.
The majick is in the meditation, drawing the dancer progessively into herself, where the circles can be felt and articulated into natural spiralling movements that need no instruction, once found within.
Participants need to be warm and comfortable, as dance drill sessions will be interspersed with carpeted floor rest. Dress in layers. Exercise clothing with a fitted top and soft scarf around the hips is adequate. No coin belts. They’ll stick in the carpet. Water in a covered bottle is a good idea.

When: Sunday 3rd July 1pm – 3pm
Style: Casual or lounge Bellydancing for personal enjoyment and wellbeing, with some esoteric content involving the human energy field.
Where: Yarra Valley Yoga Studio, 12 Auburn Road, Healesville
Arrival: Please park ONLY on front lawn or in driveway, as this is a residential street. Walk through big gates and the studio is the building in front of you.
Bookings: SMS or phone Leanne 0411 711 489, email majickal@me.com or respnd via facebook. Bookings essential as min and max numbers apply. Please book by 26th June.
Payment: $30 payable on the day in cash, or via paypal in time for the workshop as follows: majickal@hotmail.com.au. Thankyou

Writing Raw - 7 Reasons to Journal

-
Image
While writing this post I realised that every journal completed is a hand written book - old style.
Suddenly my journalling feels more precious. There are loads of reasons to keep a journal. Here are a few of them.

1. Expression: The human desire toward self expression has led to constant evolution in media. The platforms available on which we can say our bit are endless. But I think journalling is still a valuable tool for self-expression. For some of us, journaling is still the best way to access deeper levels of consciousness. Technology can be a stimulating and distracting influence. The gently tactile pages of a journal can offer a private place to write raw. It's where our thoughts can evolve and become more clear, without an audience.

2. Articulation: Self expression becomes easier when we have practised putting words to our thoughts, feelings and inspirations in a journal. Our emotional intelligence increases as we learn to express our inner life accurately to others. In ou…

30 Days of Less Than Consistent Writing Finished My Book!

November was the month for an event known among writers as NaNoWriMo, which means National Novel Writing Month. Participants sign up and make a pledge to complete writing 50,000 words in 30 days. Although it's named 'National,' it has become an international competition.

Since first noticing the event on Social Media, I had watched it go by me for several rounds. But this year the planets aligned and something different happened. After writing the first 40,000 words of a new manuscript I came to a slow spot. It wasn't writers' block because the rest of the material for the book was sitting right at the edges of my brain just waiting to be written down. I had just lost motivation. So I definitely hadn't consciously planned on participating in NaNoWriMo. I didn't even know how.

The repetition of a ritual for a set period of time is something I usually do when I'm making majick. Repetition of an activity reinforces neural pathways that once strengthened, b…

Divine Timing? My Delayed Book Launch

-
April 2020 NOTE: I released my first book in October 2017. You can find it here.

This post is supposed to be introducing my new book. But things haven't quite gone as planned. In fact the obstacles have been so relentless that I am wondering whether the universe is delaying my launch for a reason.

First, as the book was printed and drying, I was copying the blurb into some promotional material AND I FOUND A TYPO. I jumped into the car and headed straight for the printer, which had just closed. I was horrified. It was the first paragraph of the back cover! It's amazing how these things get through when the words are read so many times. Fortunately the printer was able to perform a miracle quickly and efficiently. Relieved, I continued preparing for my launch, scheduled for the 1st November.

Next was my website. I had been gradually learning and building a new website with my free 1 page website builder for months. I decided, just to be safe, to upgrade the website prior to the …
