Emotional Tour ™️

The Emotional Tour™️ is an experience that fuses primal movement, sensual dance, meditation, vocalization, creative visualization, and celebration of the human form. It is inspired by African, Tribal, and Free Dance, interwoven with the somatic and primal healing arts.

The Emotional Tour™️ creates sacred, safe spaces and invites everyone to reclaim and boldly display their power.

Join together in our celebratory community to explore and express your emotions in a safe, inclusive, non-judgmental space. 

We’ve been experiencing quite a time. 

Things are potent. 

Intensified. 

Together, let’s breathe and unleash our personal and collective emotions, so that we may live a more passionate, more authentic and more healthful life.

The Emotional Tour™️ Experience is a safe space where the live drum beats move and support you to help release stuck emotions, through breath, sound and movement.

Energy in motion  

Our emotions are meant to be expressed. Whether we deem them good or bad, it’s their nature to “move” us. During the class, you’ll be guided through an Emotional Tour™ : a somatic experience that releases constricted emotions and calms your nervous system, inviting you to step more confidently into your authentic, fully expressed self. 

You’ll be empowered to embrace, embody and express your emotions. Joy, Grief, Anger, and more - all the emotions and all of you - are welcome at an Emotional Tour™ Experience.

What People Are Saying

  • “The Femme! Experience for me was a release and live drums a vibration that is not felt in the waking life often. There is always an element of spirituality and truth to the core when Bernadette is leading. At that time I was in a transformation of healing and the Femme! experience was a safe and yet new territory to explore inner change by facing the emotions and the body at work.”
