Shaping the Invisible: Pathways and practices towards embodied awakening. Humanbeing remembering body as organism, shaping and forming out of theinter-being nature of all life. Emma invites those she works with through movement & dance, meditation & prayer, practice & participation to return to our natural state of intelligence.
Shaping the invisible is a body of teachings that has evolved over a 35 year period of personal exploration by Emma. The Invisible element to this work is connecting to our soul, the sacred, the mystery, our dreaming, our intuition, our inner realm and tuning in so we are able to listen more deeply. The Shaping element to the work is how we embody this inner domain and find it's authentic and creative expression into the web of life. It is only through our body that direct experience of life emerges. Connection is a felt experience and the path to re-connection is the awakening that we experience in our bodies, healing our separation from body & spirit, heart & mind, self & other, body & environment.

Upcoming offerings for 2025 Ceremonies in Motion – A Year-Long Journey Through Dance & Ritual Throughout the year, Ceremonies in Motion offers a cycle of eight immersive dance events, each aligned with the shifting seasons and natural rhythms of life. Rooted in movement, ritual, and deep intention, these gatherings invite you to explore transformation, connection, and embodied presence. Previously co-hosted by Emma Roberts and Jo Hardy, Jo will now be stepping back from these events as she begins a new chapter working abroad. For the rest of this year, the ceremonies will be hosted by Emma Roberts, alongside a rotation of inspiring guest teachers.
Please note: The Summer Solstice dance event has been cancelled.
Our next gathering will be for the Autumn Equinox on 25th September, where we’ll come together to honour the seasonal shift through dance, ritual, and shared presence. Click here for more details
On the Road – Summer Offerings Later this summer, I’ll be heading to Paris to offer Unbound Soul (30 & 31 August) — a weekend workshop rooted in embodied movement, ritual, and deep listening.
This gathering is an invitation to pause and soften the habitual holding patterns of body and identity. Through guided movement, stillness, and inquiry, we’ll create space for what’s quietly waiting beneath the surface — the untamed, creative, and soulful aspects of ourselves that often get left behind in the noise and speed of everyday life. Unbound Soulis about more than just movement — it’s about returning to your own inner authority, tuning into your body’s intelligence, and listening for the whispers of your deeper knowing. It’s a space where you’re encouraged to show up as you are, to move at the speed of trust, and to meet whatever arises with curiosity and care.
For those who feel the pull toward soulful spaces that honour the personal, the collective, and the sacred, this weekend offers time to reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with the wider field of life that holds us all.
Save the Date...... Thursday 28/08/2025 I’m also happy to share that on the Thursday evening before the Unbound Soul weekend workshop, I’ll be offering a Shaping The Invisibleopen class at Micadanses – Studio MayB in Paris. This class is open to all, and I’d love to reconnect with familiar faces from past Paris workshops, as well as welcome new dancers into the space. I’d love to see you there.
