Our Sacred Container
The dancefloor
Our sacred container is the dance floor, it is both a mirror and an ecosystem.
A place where we can be safely witness and be with all of who we are. A place where we can choose to lean into and move with our pain, our fears, our doubts our love, our joy, and our bliss.
A place where the abandonded rejected, forgotten pieces of ourselves are accepted, welcomed and claimed back into the whole.
The dance floor also gives us an and open landscape of fertile ground to rest in, to play, to rediscover, and create a new reality through movement and intention.
There is no right or wrong way of moving. There are no dance steps or perscribed ways of dancing. Your own inner compass and curated arch of world music takes you on a transformational journey of personal exploration and liberation.
Ecstatic Dance is a unique freestyle conscious dance experience. A moving meditation, as there are no specific dance moves, it is guided by your own expressive improvised movement. There are 3 basic guidelines to Ecstatic Dance; We dance barefoot. Our body is our guide. There is no talking on the dance floor.

Ritual & Ceremony
Sweet sister,
for a long time we have been cut off from our inherent, intuitive ways of knowing.
We have been taught to look outside ourselves for the answers to life’s questions.
Yet many of us have been feeling the hunger, the call, to return.
To acknowledge that there is something more.
An inherent knowing that is as old as time, that can’t be explained but only experienced.
We are longing for permission, freedom and encouragement to trust what we feel, what we know.
We are looking for ways to express our experiences, our coming into our feminine essence.
We are being called to return, to reconnect with our essential female energy.
To shift our deep fascination with anything connected to the Goddess or Divine Feminine to embodied action.
To sit in circle with other women, to be witnesses, heard, held.
To create our own rites of passages and rituals, to celebrate and mark the important events in our lives.
To be in personal ceremony to find and acknowledge the answers we hold within.
It is time to return.
Why dance
Over the last number of years many scientific studies have been conducted that show the enate benefit of dancing for the mind and body. If we also look to any ancient culture we can see that dance played an integral part. Here are some ways that dance can help us today.
Increases Self-Awareness
Access parts of your body that might be numb, that might feel abandoned or shutdown
Access Vitality
Dance helps us access a greater sense of vitality embodied awareness, connecting us to a deeper sense of aliveness
Connect to your wisdom
When we dance, the mind gets to take a pause, and we get to hear the subtle messages that our bodies are sending us, it is an opportunity to receive intuition, and “aha” moments.
Self-Healing
During dance we get to be curious about our bodies. It is an opportunity to be with all that is arising and this in itself is deeply self-healing.

Not only a dance space but a
Sacred Circle & Sisterhood
In this space
we are all holding the circle
and we are all being held by the circle
The woman siting beside me, across from me, and all around the circle is her own unique expression of her lived experience. Yet I can find parts of myself reflected in her.
As our eyes meets I hold her gaze softly, kindly, sending a whisper from my heart.
I see you
I hear you
I love you
I vow to honour her as I would honour myself.
As I listen to her share
I am receptive and open
Making sure to check myself for comparison, judgement, competitiveness and airs of superiority making sure not to invite them into the circle.
Each woman is soverign and the Queen of her domain. I don’t give advice. Unless I am asked directly.
Only then do I share from my own life experience about what has been helpful to me. Making sure to never use the words “you should”.
This is our Sacred Circle Manifesto

“I attended Liz’s Fly Free women’s circle and ecstatic dance a few weeks ago on my birthday and it was the greatest gift I could give myself! To share in sacred space with sisterhood, support, intention, connection, and magic as we all pushed ourselves to spread our wings wide and fly free, was intimately divine to me! And the love, presence and pure sweetness that emanates from Liz Diaz makes her the perfect guide! “
Shannon Glashan

These past few weeks have been an absolute pleasure and blessing, Dance Temple has reminded me of the beauty that my body can feel when it is moving, and I allow l life to flow freely through me”

My personal journey ~ Wisdom from the Dance Floor
In 2011 I had an spiritual awakening experience through movement. It was deeply transformational and came at a major pivotal point of change in my life. I was struggling with finding my purpose, I knew their was something more to life but wasn’t sure what it was, or how to find it. I was also feeling very disconnected from my body and ungrounded in who I was.
The dancefloor gifted me a gateway to come back home to my body and to myself. Though dance I learned how to give my self permission to be me. I learned how to find compassion for myself, and to really truly deeply love myself.
I also learned how to be patient with myself, accept myself, love myself, honour myself, know my self-worth, express myself, forgive myself, rust myself and empower myself
