🌀 A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS 🌀
Amanda Elinorsdotter takes over 5 Elements Ecstatic Dance!
In short: From now on, Amanda will be running 5 Elements Ecstatic Dance. The autumn season begins on September 7, and everything continues as usual – same Monday evenings, same room, same spirit. And yes, your punch card is still valid 😘
The longer version, and a thank you from Anna:
Thank you for this incredible dance journey!
In the autumn of 2018 I, Anna Lindh, started 5 Elements Dance here in Göteborg, and since then it has evolved and grown into a big, warm community – a space for the love of dance and movement, for transformation and expansion, for tears and laughter, for hugs and shared humanness. ❤️
I'm now stepping into the next chapter of my life: I'm expecting my first child in November, and my focus will be on my family. So it is with pride, and with a warm heart, that I hand 5 Elements Ecstatic Dance over to Amanda Elinorsdotter.
I want to say this clearly: this is not an ending. It's a continuation. Amanda has been part of this community for a long while now, and she loves it as much as you and I do. From now on she'll be the one taking care of everything behind the scenes that keeps these beloved dance evenings running.
Handing over something you built over many years is a strange and tender thing. I've been sitting with this decision for a while and I keep landing in the same place: it's time, and Amanda's the right person to continue this journey.
And none of this was ever mine alone. Jessie has been my right hand these past years – steering our marketing and information, leading our volunteers, and sitting faithfully at the entrance night after night. My fellow facilitators, showing up with your own unique flavours – you've been adding even more magic to this community! And to all our volunteers: you created the welcoming atmosphere in our space, every single time. I couldn't have done any of this without you all. 🙏
And you, my dear dancers – showing up, over and over, open and willing to move from within – are the reason I've worked so hard to keep this space alive. Hundreds of times I've looked out over our dance floor, and every time I've been completely taken by it. This is the most beautiful thing in the world to me: people daring to let go, letting the body lead the way. More than once it has moved me to tears.
With this I want to say a thousand thank yous, for all the moments of movement magic, love and support I've been given over these years. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💛
Somewhere down the road I hope to offer other things – events, courses, retreats, maybe a facilitator training – and if I do, you'll probably hear from me here. If you want to be sure you'll know about it, email me at [email protected] and I'll keep you posted directly.
And of course, we'll keep seeing each other on the dance floor!
With all my love,
Anna
⭐️ A FEW PRACTICAL THINGS ⭐️
If you have punch cards (klippkort) left, they still work. Amanda is taking over responsibility for them, so keep dancing on what you've already paid for!
Cards run for 12 months from the date you bought them. Reach out to [email protected] if you'd like us to check the expiration date for your card.
You bought your card from my company, Retreat Yourself AB, so if you keep using it, we'll take that as your okay for Amanda to take it on. And if that doesn't work for you for some reason, just email me at [email protected] before September 7 and we'll find a solution together.
