Join Aepril for a four-week journey through the elements, where belly dance becomes a gateway to embodied magick and reconnection.

Registration 

Each class focuses on one element, earth, water, fire, and air, weaving together belly dance technique, expressive movement, and alchemical exploration. Whether you're returning to movement after time away or deepening your practice, this series invites you to dance with intention, discover what each element awakens within you, and work with tarot, meditation, and energy-raising practices.


You'll learn accessible combinations, move with purpose, and explore the transformative power of conscious dance. No experience necessary, just show up ready to move, explore, and awaken.


Recordings available for all classes.
4 Tuesdays: July 21, July 28, August 4, August 11 2026
90 mins, 7 PM - 8: 30 PM Irish time
Zoom


Class One, Earth, Coins: Ground yourself with foundational movements, building posture, carriage and hip directionality. Connect with archetype, embodying stability, grounded power, and feminine strength rooted in the earth.


Class Two, Water, Cups: Flow into fluid, graceful movements. Journey into a serpentine meditation, moving like water, becoming sinuous and expressive energy in motion. Explore the emotional depths of dance and feeling through embodied movement.


Class Three, Fire, Wands: Build energy with dynamic, rhythmic movements. Learn a bouncy, fiery combination. Pull a tarot card and dance its meaning, letting the card's message guide your body and expression.


Class Four, Air, Swords: Dance with lightness and freedom. Practice spins and turns with elegant arm carriage. Harness your will through intentional movement, raising energy to set your intention and push it out into the world.


This class welcomes all bodies and all abilities. Movements can be modified, and you're invited to move in whatever way feels good for you. Come as you are.

I'm so pleased that my poem, "at the end of the dark river I released my mother" will be published in Issue 2 of Oscail magazine: 

from my spinal fluid I pull her out of my neck 
       my back

a pearl string of mother-lines 

millions
of silken eggs


                           I am wobbly      soft boned    
   black water running past
                                        gurgling

                                        like a girl 
              newly hatched and
hungry        
                 
  dropping 

        

  leaden   tailored shoulders 



I am proud to be included in this "literary magazine dedicated to celebrating and highlighting neurodiverse and queer voices in contemporary Irish writing".

A very short bit from my performance of spoken poetry, dance and ritual for Wandering Voices at the Cairde Festival. At The Model, Sligo, Ireland. 

I'll be performing poetry at the Constallations event created by Rebecca Massey, October 31, 2024 at the Yeats Society, Sligo. 

I am thrilled to be scheduled to perform at A Tide of Ghosts: Esotericism and Art beyond Fact and Fiction this October 24th, 2024!

"A two-day multidisciplinary conference exploring how the use of fictionings, in various entanglements of art, politics, and esotericism, bleeds into the real and how the two relate, if they ever are truly separate.

The conference marks the first conference of the Scandinavian Network for the Academic Study of Western esotericism (SNASWE). It is co-organized by the Novo Nordic funded research project Twisting the Fabric of Space: On the Art and Politics of the Hidden which has Kasper Opstrup as its PI and The Copenhagen Centre for the Study of Theosophy and Esotericism headed by Tim Rudbog."

I'll be performing a 20 minute piece down, black, down, black, down:  "An interdisciplinary performance of poetry and dance. I give testimony to my encounters with Underworld Kings: Fionnbharr, King of Connacht at Cnoc Meadha and Pluto, at the Plutonion at Eleusis. I will give a devotional performance that invites you, the audience, to experience what I experience at these sites."

At the Oscar Wilde House for the Poet's Salon. Lovely night performing and listening to poetry seance style! Thank you Caoimhe LaVelle.

I'll be performing my poetry for this event in Tullamore to raise money for the children of Palestine. 
Organized by Tullamore for Gaza.
18 January.

I will be performing my poetry at The Ireland Institute for The Sheltered Arts Exhibition ‘Every Night’s An Open Night’ at the Ireland Institute in Dublin.

We will be raising money for Barnados. 

"Barnardos mission is to transform the lives of vulnerable children because childhood lasts a lifetime."
