Workshops scheduled

Soul dance

  • Lesley believes dance is the quickest and safest way to express how we are feeling.

    She has facilitated free dance expression and enjoyed exploring dance over many years and within various modalities.

    She says “Dance can make space for whatever wants to arise within you, from joy to sadness and everything in between.”

  • No. Anyone can come along.

    Lesley believes that there is absolutely no skill required in moving your body and the main ingredient is a willingness to be open and to allow the body to express, however it wants to. This does not have to look pretty!

  • Yes. But the space has one small step at the front, and two steps to the toilet, so perhaps get in touch if steps are an issue.

  • The next session is scheduled for Sunday 9th November 9:30am to 10:25am.

    Location: (Lionsa) 24 Fairway Street, Frankston

Yin Yang

  • Led by 3 experienced facilitators, this 1.5 hour multi-layered boost incorporating active and passive process (yin/yang) including blessings, simple mantras, a sound bath and more…

    The Yang part of the program includes:

    • being guided by Fiona and Kate in active meditation utilising mantras from Master Sha, and simple visualisation and movement to boost and replenish your energy centres.

    The Yin part of the program includes:

    • Bathing in the luscious sounds of Trish’s instruments, while Kate and Fiona sing their Tao Soul songs and offer you a Tao hands blessing

  • No.

    Kate and Fiona utilise some of the wisdoms of our spiritual teacher, Master Sha, but this is not a religion.

    Anyone can join regardless of their faith.

  • “Yin Yang is the first Divine Universal Law.”

    -Dr. Zhi Gang Sha, Sha ‘Divine Soul Songs’

Workshops available

by request/not currently scheduled

Basket Weaving

  • This age-old tradition of sitting in circle weaving together… a conversation and baskets, connects us with the part of our souls, that simply remembers what this is and how good it feels….

  • Weavers of all levels are welcome - if you’ve never made a basket before you’ll be shown how, and no experience is required.

  • At Lionsa in Frankston.

    We sometimes arrange to weave at a park, but this will be arranged closer to the day.

    We do also facilitate at your chosen women’s gathering or birthday, for example.

  • Fiona Haasz is our primary facilitator but others also facilitate, bringing their unique flavour and gifts to the sessions, such as Milica Joy Fraser.

  • No. All materials are supplied. But if you have a favourite feather, grasses/herbs or wool you’d like to incorporate into your basket feels free to bring along.

Celebration Day for Girls

  • A workshop for 10-12 year old girls to celebrate their transition into young maidens.

  • We can create an event for your daughter and a minimum of 4 other girls.

  • At Lionsa in Frankston.

    If you wish it to be done elsewhere, let us know but essentially the Celebration Day for Girls program has facilitators in many areas around the world.

  • This link takes you to the facilitators page of their website but feel free to peruse other pages.

  • Yes! There is a workshop available for young women and teens of a similar nature to the Celebration Day for Girls. It would be drawing upon the wisdom of Dr Kaalii Cargill and her book ‘Don’t Take it Lying Down’ addressing many topics such as mind-body contraception, the stages and archetypes of woman and more (facilitated through Lionsa separately to the Celebration Day for Girls organisation).

Art Adventure Tours

  • A workshop in which you’ll be taken on a physical journey (by foot, public transport or bike) in which you’ll engage in various creative tasks along the way.

  • Pretty much a taste of everything you can think of. Drawing, nature art, movement, song, poetry, photography…

  • Anywhere! We are based in Melbourne, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula but may be able create a workshop in the other areas, in Victoria, interstate or even overseas. Try us!

  • We have run the tours as School Holiday Programs before, so, yes.

  • Some tours have been for children and some for adults and others have been open, for families. You’re welcome to create what suits you.

Enquire

Dance to Your Heart’s Content

  • Space to dance freely in.

    Music to dance freely to.

    Absence of ‘guidance’ to freely let go.

  • The main difference is that we do not instruct or guide or speak to you during the main part of the experience.

    Another difference is that we do not tend to use much music which is very electronic in its style. Our preference is to favour world and traditional music forms.

  • A group would be ideal for this event, but you can also request us to hold this event in your area and we will consider and discuss it with you.

Enquire

African dance

  • Be guided by Fiona to learn basic African dance steps, of West African and Soukous origins, with a flavour of a focus on the healing nature of this type of movement. And lots of fun!

  • No previous dance experience is necessary.

  • Currently nothing is scheduled but if you are interested, get in touch and perhaps we can set up a class near you.
