Join the Eclectica Lineage Now

Enrolment for our 2025 Melbourne-Based Semester at Eclectica School of Womb-Craft & Visionary Dance is Open Now.

Eclectica School of Womb-Craft & Visionary Dance


Built on the foundations of self reconciliation, the village, and the reclamation of our raw, authentic expression - Eclectica School of Womb-Craft and Visionary Dance is a holistic dance school experience that delves into the roots and foundations of expression, deep inner union, freedom, dance, and re-wilding.

Participants of this course will be guided through various rites of passage initiations over 16 transformational weeks, that will further anchor them into the depth and power of their unique medicine, truth, and depths of expression.

Each module we explore will then be formulated into intention-based movement and choreography that will be performed at our end-of-semester concert. The entire journey is a deeply transformational experience that provides pathways of self-discovery and inner union, through exploring practices that are rooted in ritual, embodied expression, dance, and performance art.

Our philosophy explores the realms of healing and evolution, through various initiations that support, nurture both men and women on their journey of maturity and self-actualization.

Our school is a gateway to freedom, remembrance, and personal power. It is a sacred container to support you to return to your truest nature, reclaim your inner gifts, and ignite the fire in your soul - lighting the way on your path of purpose and meaning

Be Held in the Safe Custodianship of the Activated Village

We are changing the way we structure our school….

Our Melbourne-Based Dance School was previously structured in quite a linear way, where students were required to move through the body of work in the order of moving from Level One, to Level Two, Level Three, then Level Four.

This year we have restructured the dance school so that all students have access to all bodies of work - through application only.

Our new students are still recommended to start in ‘Passage of Self’ (previously known as Level One) as this is our foundational training that really tends to the cracks in our personal foundation and allows us to explore and heal our relationship with self - first and foremost.

However, if you are quite well-rounded in this body of work - and if you are feeling more drawn to one of our other bodies of work - then you will have the opportunity to enrol into those containers through application only.

We see the semester as a spiral, spiralling from the relationship we have with our self, to our anatomy and sexuality, then out to the quantum field around us, to then spiral outwards to our community, into service. For this reason - we recommend moving through the school in the following order:

Note that this is just a recommendation, and if you would prefer to move through the bodies of work in a more fluid, intuitive way - there is freedom to. However, the power of moving through in this order means that we gently open you up and prepare you for the body of work to come.

    DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED

    The Reclamation is a four day intensive enquiry into self, exploring the landscapes of somatic awareness, movement, ritual and visionary dance.

    It is a deep dive into the ethos that is Eclectica and an opportunity to re-wild the domesticated aspects of the psyche.

    It offers a thread of remembrance to our innate ways of being through gathering in circle and reclaiming feminine rites of passage.

    This intensive is for all levels of dance, you do not require previous experience. This is not a space to seek perfection or technique, this is a space to unravel to the layers of your soul in the safe custodianship of sisterhood.

    Throughout the 4-day intensive we will experience deep emotional excavation work and learn intentional choreography that we will perform for a video project on day 4.
