MELBOURNE ENROLMENT IS OPEN NOW

At the centre of every thriving community are the arts:

Join our diverse lineage of creative and devoted individuals and become a pioneer of a legacy that seeks re-village the heart of humanity. Our school works intimatley with the mediums of visionary dance, ritual and embodied expression to support in the integration of life and the cultivation of self.

We are changing the way we structure our school….

Due to the high demand for this work, we are changing the way we approach student enrolment and are integrating more diverse bodies of work into the Eclectica tapestry.

Previously participation in ‘Level One’ was required before enrolling for our advanced levels - and students were required to move through each level linearly. We have now opened the advanced levels to both new and returning students (conditions and terms apply).

New students - it is recommended to start in ‘Passage of Self’ (previously known as Level One) as this is our foundational training that really tends to the cracks in our personal foundation and allows us to explore and heal our relationship with self - first and foremost. This training is a powerful initiation into the Eclectica culture, ethos and philosophy.

However, those who are drawn to some of the other trainings available, and are integrated within Rites of passage work, somatics, embodiment and choreography are welcome to enrol in the bodies of work. Please note: being well-versed in choreography is an important prerequisite for new students enrolling in advanced training.

Previous Students who have completed Level One and desire to continue their journey can now select from any of the following bodies of work:

  • “The Way of the WombKeeper” - Formally known as Level Two

  • “The Liminal” - Formally known as Level Three

  • ”Embodied Eldership” Formally known as Level Four

Please take your time to feel into each body of work and attune to what feels more resonant and aligned with your current season of self-development.

We see the semester as a spiral. At the core of this spiral is the relationship we have with our self. It then moves in to the space of our anatomy and sexuality. From there it spirals out to the quantum field around us, to then ripple outwards to our community, and then finally, into service. For this reason - we recommend moving through the school in the following order:

Thus the recommended order to move through the modules of work is:

Passage Of Self >> Way Of The WombKeeper >> The Liminal >> Embodied Eldership >> Facilitator Training

Note that this is just a recommendation, and if you would prefer to move through the bodies of work in a more fluid, intuitive way - there is freedom to. However, the power of moving through in this order means that we gently open you up and prepare you for the body of work to come.
