Soul Dance – Break Free Society
Lonneke Zintel Break Free Society we were able to meet in Ibiza a few months ago - just before the lockdown. A few years ago she left her own communications agency Break Free Society - lifestyle and business coaching at soul level - to set up. A mouthful, but read on: Lonneke is the living example of a woman who ran a successful company, but then said goodbye to everything she had built up, to listen to her heart and intuition. Interesting. We want that too. She started looking for a softer side of herself because she believes that the combination of head and heart, limitless is. She wants to pass this lesson on to female entrepreneurs through coaching, retreats, guided meditations and dance workshops. She does this in the Netherlands, in Ibiza, but now (fortunately!) also a lot online. And we think that's too good not to share.
Lonneke says: “I have noticed that many (entrepreneurial) women struggle with the balance between effort and relaxation. Dream and do. Trust versus control. I am happy to help you find this balance. This often means that you can listen a little more to your feminine power. Your intuition, your heart, the goosebumps moments or tears in your eyes. Break Free Society therefore stands for not joining the crowd, but going for your own path. How do you get there? By chasing your dreams to go! Learn to listen to your heart, dare to step outside your comfort zone steps and decisions. Feel your dreams and then go the commitment to make them come true.”
Finally. Nice story, but for many of us the question still arises: How? (something that we late more often than not, with all those experiments Bart's Soul Sister fires at us). But no worries, because this is where it starts the nice part. Lonneke gives (online) dance sessions that simply make you very happy. And the rest will happen automatically.
Now first a bit of theory. The dance sessions that Lonneke gives are based on Surya Soul Dance. Surya means sun in Sanskrit and this dance form has influences from yoga and classical Indian dance. It is a 'conscious' dance, which balances your chakras through the vibrations of the music. In other words: You make movements to certain music that awakens and flows the energy in your body. As a result, you suddenly manage to relax and get to grips with your feelings.
Although the above may sound quite 'hocus pocus' to some of us, the great thing about such a dance session is that you don't actually have to think about it at all and can just surrender to the music. For those for whom the latter is still difficult, Lonneke says that it is completely normal to feel somewhat uncomfortable at first. During her lesson she encourages you to break through this. Once you have managed to get out of your comfort zone, you will really feel the power flowing through your entire body.
The first part of the session almost feels like a workout. In the second part of the lesson she tries to touch a different part of you and encourages you to connect more with your femininity. Something with Yin & Yang energy. This whole principle helps you get back into your body, instead of always being in that head. This is (thank God) not about 'good' or 'bad' dancing, but it is about moving in exactly the way your body wants to move. If you manage to surrender to this, you will feel liberated, free and reborn after a session. So, now you again.
If you've got a taste for it, Lonneke has something else nice in store for you: she organizes a fun event every month during the full month. Wild & Free Dance Challenge. (just that name..) This is a 5-day online process, where you follow a program full of dance, meditation and rituals. The next one is on during the full moon June 5, 2020.
