DOWH was co-created in 2001 by Erica Ross and Nan Keyser for Sheena’s Place, a support organization for people with disordered eating and body image issues in Toronto, Canada. It continues to this day as one of Sheena’s Place’s core ‘body image’ groups. Over the years Erica has honed and deepened the DOWH practice with new and fresh insight, music, themes and exercises. In the fall of 2007, Erica, recognizing the great success at Sheena’s and the potential of this practice, brought DOWH into the community-at-large, offering it to any woman wishing to dance, and to be more deeply connected to herself and to others. DOWH has become Erica’s soul work and unique gift, the gathering of a lifetime of experience as a daughter, sister, friend, woman, mother, traveller, artist and dancer. Erica’s personal relationship to life and the lens through which she sees it has been influenced by many cultures, viewpoints and teachings. With her love for, and relationship with, the Divine Feminine and Earth-based spirituality, and the wisdom teachings of Buddhism and Shamanism, Erica offers all that she knows to be true. Erica brings to DOWH life-affirming ideas, writings, concepts and teachings to support the dance, making it a complete experience that touches body, heart, mind and soul. She shares inspirational quotes and stories from some of her favourite writers and mentors such as Clarisa Pinkola Estes, Rumi, Anais Nin, Joseph Campbell, Marion Woodman and Maria Gimbutas. Choosing from a diverse range of music that includes sacred voices, global funk, ambient and tribal grooves, Erica skilfully selects music that she trusts will carry others in their dance, to induce a journey of relaxation, healing, release, freedom, joy and peace. Erica’s brightness and warmth, along with her creative weaving of dance, guided imagery and relaxation, offers you a remarkable journey of self-discovery, expression and connection.
