Ember Pulse – Embodiment Practice
INSTINCT. MOVEMENT. REMEMBERING.
Ember Pulse invites you to return to the intuitive wisdom held in your body. It is a space to meet the deeper rhythm beneath the surface, where instinct, memory, and inner knowing move without the need for words.
Through movement you reconnect with yourself, release what has gathered in the body, and give expression to what is ready to emerge. The practice is simple and anchored in presence.
Each seasonal gathering weaves together guided movement, sound, and small ritual elements. Depending on the setting, sessions may include guest collaborators, live music, shared food, or additional creative practices. Ember Pulse can be held in person or online, with the same intention of meeting the body, voice, and inner landscape as a whole.
What Ember Pulse offers
- restore and reset the nervous system
- attune to your body’s natural rhythm
- move from instinct rather than thought
- allow emotions and sensations to find expression
- meet yourself with compassion and care
- explore movement without pressure or performance
What You’ll Experience:
-
music and movement that help you reconnect with your own rhythm and creative flow
-
gentle stretches and pauses that settle the system and bring balance
-
guided inner journeys that open space for insight and clarity
-
archetypal embodiment, allowing different aspects of yourself to be expressed
a return to the parts of you that feel instinctive, free, and ready to be seen
Seasonal ritual elements (when appropriate)
These may include simple rituals, sound journeys, song circles, or shared food, depending on the format and season.
Ember Pulse is a space to reconnect with your voice, trust your body, and remember through movement. It is for those who sense a call to express, restore, and meet themselves through the intelligence held within the body.
Ember Pulse refers to the small, living warmth that continues through cycles of change, and the pulse of life that guides us through movement and embodiment.
Each Ember Pulse gathering holds a different stage of the life cycle:
Animbra – soul and shadow
Red Thread – lineage and cycle
Embera – warmth remembered
Ash and Honey – transformation through winter
Together they form a seasonal cycle of embodiment through the year.
Are you ready to step into your own rhythm of remembering?
Why
embodiment?
To embody is to listen from within.
To feel the call that lives in your bones, the rhythm of the earth beneath you, and the deeper currents that shape your inner landscape.
It is an invitation to arrive in your body and to return to what has always been part of you.
In this place, you meet your own creative force. The body becomes a map that guides you towards what feels true.
Through this remembering, you come back to life in a way that feels fuller, richer, and aligned with who you are.
Why
seasonal thresholds?
Ember Pulse follows the moments when one season turns into another.
These are the thresholds of the year,
when change is already happening,
even if it is not yet fully visible.
Each gathering meets one of these crossings:
winter to spring,
spring to summer,
summer to autumn,
and autumn to winter.
Through dance and embodied presence,
we listen to these shifts in the body
and move with the natural rhythm of the year.
Working at seasonal thresholds allows space
to integrate what is ending
and to welcome what is beginning.
Animbra – The Embodied Threshold
TENDERNESS. SHADOW. TRANSFORMATION.
“Animbra is a word that holds the meeting of anima (soul, breath, life force) and umbra (shadow). It speaks to the gentle movement between inner light and darkness.”
Animbra is a winter-season embodied ceremony within Ember Pulse. It lives in the darker months of the year, when the body naturally turns inward and asks for slower rhythms, reflection, and deeper listening.
Held at the closing of winter, this year’s Animbra session offers space to integrate what the colder months have stirred before the movement toward spring begins.
This one-off online workshop on 22 February invites participants into a closer embodied seasonal ceremony through dance, movement, breath, and reflection. The work is simple and rooted in presence, supporting contact with instinct, emotion, and the quieter layers of experience.
Through embodied practice, breathwork, guided movement, and reflective moments, Animbra creates space to listen to what has been unfolding beneath the surface during winter. The session allows for integration, release, and reconnection with the body’s wisdom.
What you will encounter in Animbra
-
intuitive movement that supports inner awareness
-
practices that help surface what has been held in the body
-
ritual elements that mark release and integration
-
guidance through tenderness, emotion, and personal truth
-
a gentle return to parts of yourself that have been set aside
Animbra is for those who feel drawn to depth, stillness, and honest self contact during the darker seasons. It is a space to meet what is real, without pressure or performance.
Animbra honours winter’s inward movement while supporting the body’s natural readiness for seasonal transition.

Red Thread – The Cycle Arc
RHYTHM. NOURISHMENT. BODY WISDOM.
“The red thread is the thread of life that runs through the body and across generations. It speaks to cycle, lineage, and the continuity that connects us to those who came before us.”
Red Thread is a seasonal workshop within Ember Pulse, held at mid spring. It is a time when growth is already underway and the body begins to turn toward nourishment, warmth, and fuller expression.
Like all Ember Pulse gatherings, Red Thread is rooted in dance as a way of listening to the body. Through a cycle-based dance journey, participants are invited to reconnect with their own rhythm and to listen to the messages held in the cyclic body.
Red Thread opens into the rhythm of life itself – the cycles of growth, rest, change, and renewal that move through the body across time. It also honours the red thread of the mother line, the lineage carried through birth, memory, and the body, whether felt as connection, absence, complexity, or strength.
The workshop is open to anyone called to explore cycle awareness. You are welcome whether you bleed each month, no longer bleed, never bled, or move through cycles in other ways. The focus is on connection, understanding, and embodied listening.
We honour the many paths that shape menstrual and hormonal life. This includes first periods, perimenopause, fertility wishes, pregnancy, postpartum, miscarriage, abortion, surgical changes, endometriosis, fibroids, and the settling into menopause. Wherever you are, your experience is part of the circle.
This is not only about menstruation.
It is about the movement of life within the body and the wisdom that comes when we listen.
What we explore in Red Thread
-
cycle-based movement following inner spring, summer, autumn, and winter
-
simple embodiment practices for each phase
-
womb tending and body rituals supporting grounding and awareness
-
creative expression through voice, sound, breath, or touch
-
connection to lineage, memory, and the mother line
-
a reminder that your rhythm carries guidance and meaning
Red Thread is held as spring ripens toward full blossoming, when the earth is open and energy begins to stabilise into nourishment and continuity. The season supports renewal, reverence for the body, and respect for cyclic wisdom across generations.

Embera – Movement as Memory
HARVEST. THRESHOLD. REMEMBRANCE.
“Embera comes from ‘ember’, the warm glow that remains after fire. It speaks to memory, harvest, and the warmth of summer carried into the turning season.”
Embera is a closing-summer dance session within Ember Pulse, held at the threshold where summer begins to soften and turn toward autumn. It is a time when warmth is still present, yet the body can already sense the slow movement toward gathering, integration, and return.
This gathering offers space to honour the fullness of the season while listening closely to your own rhythm. Through movement, breath, and simple creative ritual, Embera becomes an anchor for the closing of summer, a place to arrive in yourself and to listen to what this season has grown within you.
Movement becomes a way of remembering. The body holds the traces of summer’s expansion, encounters, and experiences. Through dance and presence, these memories can settle, integrate, and find expression.
What you will experience
-
instinctive movement and intuitive sound
-
restorative pauses that support regulation and presence
-
a guided dance journey
-
archetypal embodiment through life phases and transitions
-
creative ritual elements with honey, voice, breath, scent, or stillness
-
connection to lineage and land-based memory held in the body
Depending on the format, sessions may include song, sound, or shared food. These elements remain optional and responsive to the setting.
Embera is for those who feel called to honour the threshold between summer and autumn through movement. A space to settle, to feel, and to remember a way of being that has always lived inside you.
This is the ember of being human.
Dance at the threshold of closing summer.

Ash and Honey – The Winter Arc
WINTER. STILLNESS. ALCHEMY.
“Ash and Honey speaks to the meeting of endings and nourishment. Ash is what remains after burning. Honey is the medicine that sustains us through winter.”
Ash and Honey is the winter embodiment path within Ember Pulse. Like all Ember Pulse gatherings, it is rooted in dance as a way of listening to the body.
Held at the threshold where autumn gives way to winter, Ash and Honey offers a space for reflection, letting go, and gentle inner transformation. Through a guided winter dance journey, we connect with the energy of winter, darkness, and the liminal.
Movement becomes a way of meeting what is present in the season. Stillness, silence, warmth, and release may emerge through the dance, each in their own time.
At the winter gate, when the landscape begins to rest, we gather to honour what has ended and what is dissolving. Ash and Honey becomes a space where movement, quiet, and shared presence meet.
Within Ash and Honey you’ll find:
-
a guided winter dance journey
-
voice and silence held in a shared rhythm of listening
-
movement that supports emotional release and integration
-
ceremonial elements with candlelight, honey, and memory
-
sound and vibration supporting rest and transformation
Depending on the format, sessions may include song, sound, or shared food. These elements remain optional and responsive to the setting.
Ash and Honey is an invitation to soften and listen. A space for winter presence through movement.
Offered at the threshold of winter, it is an alchemical companion for the dark season, when the soul is asked to rest, release, and slowly re-form.

Optional potluck
Potluck in this context means that everyone brings a small dish or snack for us to share after the practice. Please bring only food that is in a closed container and does not spill or stick, as we will be in the dance room. Small boxes or jars with lids are ideal. Drinks like tea should also be brought in a well-sealed container.
Voice of the Feminine –
A Thread in the Tapestry.
Voice of the Feminine is a living current within the Ember Pulse field. It moves through each arc as song, breath, sound, and moments of stillness. Its intention is simple: to help you meet the voice that lives in the body, the womb, and the subtle inner world.
Through spontaneous sound, breath based expression, and gentle vocal ritual, this thread invites the Feminine Voice to rise in its own way. A natural expression of presence.
It may appear within an Embera workshop, surface in the grounded work of Animbra, unfold through Ash and Honey, or weave itself through Red Thread.
The Voice of the Feminine is not separate from the rest of the work. It is part of everything.
And when it moves, something inside us remembers.
