What we’re about
Women’s BodyMystik Dance Circles are a sacred and supportive sanctuary for women from all walks of life to gather and deepen their dance with life.
Led by Heather Munro Pierce, these dances have been happening for many years, in-person and now online as well. Through the dance of our bodies, our souls, our being, we cultivate consciousness, create community, connect with the divine, and celebrate life.
Are you ready to unfold into your feminine essence, authentic being and power? Are you willing to take the time for yourself and be nourished body and soul? YES! Come join other authentic, juicy, wondrous women to dance in the fullness of darkness, light, beauty and sisterhood!
These gatherings are an invitation to deepen your dance, starting wherever you are, to cultivate and refine skills that support movement as medicine and and deep self-care.
All movement is at your own pace, interpretation and intensity.

Winter Dance Circles ~ 3 Days/Times (In-Person & Online)
El Cerrito, CA, US8-week series, starting in late January! Join a Women's BodyMystik Dance Circle, in-person or online from the comforts of home!
We specialize in offering a grounded, clear container within which one's feminine nature (both divine and wholly human) can awaken, express, heal, be still and wild.
All movement is at your own pace and intensity. Beginner and experienced movers welcome.
Good to Know:
- This is an established women's community and we've held sacred space for many years.
- Attendance is greater than listed on meetup - this is just one tool we use to spread the word. Each circle will have about 15-25 women.
- In-person and Online classes have the same structure, though slightly different flavors. In-person vibes more viscerally with the group energy, whereas online is connective with community too, but can feel like more of an intimate, personal movement practice.

THESE CIRCLES ARE FOR YOU IF:
- You need some support to get off your butt and move your body and spirit, knowing it's really okay to dance at your own pace for any reason, including body challenges or health issues.
- Life challenges are wearing you thin, you feel distress/stress and yearn to release and renew, center and ground.
- You feel called to be part of a women's circle (that will be doing more than just talking) and feel drawn to the safety and deep presence of shared sacred temple time.
- You're starting to really understand that self-care on a body/soul level is essential to your sanity.
- You love to dance and want more joy and juice in your life!

WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING:
"No matter how I feel before, I always feel more alive after." ~R
"Blossoming! Exploring and witnessing all parts of myself—even the scared parts, the ashamed parts, and the annoyed at being scared and ashamed parts! Bathing them all in golden-white light, giving myself patience, grace, and respect. Remembering I am already worthy and whole." ~K
"Then, as the music lifts so does my body. I notice my breath. Ahh, to move and be alive! From this embodied place I truly experience the wisdom from within myself." ~L
