Dancing Into Your Authentic Self — Remembering Who You Are Beneath It All
Helene 
Coming home to ourselves is a radical act, one that can take great courage, but also bring us great joy.
The Layers We Wear: Our Titles, Duties, and Expectations
We live in a world obsessed with doing.
Roles, titles, calendars, and checklists—each one a mask we put on.
We become "the coach," "the parent," "the creative," “the one who holds it all together.”
But what happens when the noise fades?
What if all those roles were stripped away from us, and we were left with ....ourselves? Our unpolished, authentic and raw selves?
How would that feel?
Would we even know?
We're entering a potent time. An auspicious time from Astrology, Egyptian Cosmology, and from my own ancestry.
The Lion’s Gate portal—peaking on 8/8—offers a potent energetic window to shed the layers that no longer fit. To re-meet the self behind the name tag.
The Portal Is Open — Will You Walk Through It?
The Lion’s Gate aligns the star Sirius with Earth and the Sun in Leo. This ancient celestial event has been revered in Egyptian cosmology for millennia.
It’s a time of high manifestation, clarity, and transformation.
Leo season asks:
Are you living your truth or someone else’s story?
And the portal responds:
Now is the moment to choose again.
In numerology, 8 is infinity—an endless loop of possibility.
In Cantonese, the number 8 rhymes with the word for wealth and abundance.
Together, they remind us:
You are the gateway. You are the power. You are the creator.
And your body holds the blueprint.
The Vulnerability of Being Seen
To be truly seen—without filters, performance, or persona—is a radical act.
Not in the now overused buzz word of “authenticity” touted on social media, but in the quiet courage of being real.
Just like, for example, walking barefoot into the forest, feeling the damp softness beneath your feel, feeling the moistness of the air on your skin—there’s nothing to prove.
There is only pure presence. The pulse of life. The sound of your breath.
This is where dance becomes sacred.
The body becomes the altar.
Expression becomes truth.
Movement as a Mirror to the True Self
When we move without any agenda, with no steps to follow or expectation, something ancient stirs.
A remembering.
Not of who you’ve been told to be—but who you’ve always been underneath it all.
The body doesn’t lie.
Your body tells the story of your longings, your grief and your joy. Each step is a step into a deeper truth, a step into your become.
In stillness or in wild sway, your body says:
“Here I am. Whole. Free. Enough.”
Join Us: Ignite the Creative Fire Within
This week, I’m opening the doors to a new live dance series:
🔥 The Creative Fire Within 🔥
We begin with Session One: Remembering the Real You.
It’s an invitation to strip back the layers, come into our visceral aliveness and move from truth, not performance.
You don’t need to be a dancer.
You just need a body, a heartbeat, and a desire to feel real again.
Come to be held. To move, feel, and express in a space where no mask is required.
Let your monkey mind rest. Let your soul speak through sensation.
Link to join is below:
It is time for You.
