Connections

Courtney

Courtney has been offering dance instruction and healing movement in Long Beach and around the world since 2004 in classes, workshops and retreats. She believes that dance is the "mother of the creative arts" because the only instrument needed is the Body. When we move to our natural rhythms, we are our most authentic selves. 

Courtney is trained and certified in the following embodied practices: Open Floor,  5 Rhythms, Nia, Shamanic Practices, Reiki, & Meditation. She is also a college professor and special events coordinator. 

Courtney’s intention is to give people a safe space to be in their body and move freely and authentically in order to tap into their wholeness. 

Dance Journey

Dance Journey is an Open Floor conscious dance class: it is a musical movement Journey to the heart of one’s being. We move to soul stirring music inviting participants to be in their whole body- in body, heart, mind, and spirit- and connect to their truest selves. 

A class session includes a warm up of stretching & grounding, then a guided freedance and inquiry, and closes with meditation and community. 

No experience necessary. Dance Journey is for every- BODY, and adaptable to every age and fitness level: classes are designed for ages 16 and older.

Sacred Ceremony

Sacred Ceremonies are personalized ceremonies for celebrations, life transitions, and healing. Ceremonies are as old as time and honor tradition, ancestors, and milestones. These can be private individual or small group sessions to mark any significant life moment such as welcoming a birth,  a new endeavor or life chapter,  or a personal healing. They may include movement, meditation, art,  journaling, a fire ceremony, or shamanic journeying. 

All ceremonies are personalized to honor your intention, journey and growth. 

Special Group or Private Session

Courtney provides classes and workshops for youth groups, corporate groups and specific groups:  These may include dance, movement and art therapy, journaling and meditation. Individual sessions allow for personal discovery, growth and healing: this may include movement, meditation,  reiki, shamanic healing and personal growth tools. 

All sessions are tailored to the needs of the group or individual. Reach out to discuss your desires:  courtneystammler@gmail.com
