🌕 Full Moon @move.tofeel 26 Sept

🎧 Wearing silent disco headphones, you’ll be immersed in a mindful movement journey where live somatic guidance, evocative visual language and a bespoke soundtrack invite you to reconnect with yourself, the rhythms of nature around you, and your body’s innate wisdom through intuitive movement and playful dance.

There are no steps to learn and no dance experience required. The combination of the warmth from the bonfire, expanse of beach, collective energy, and eclectic mix of music invites grounding and freedom.

You’re invited. Still a few spots, join us. by @move.tofeel

🍓🎧🌕 Strawberry Moon Beach Session
7:30am, Sunday 28 June

Wishing those of you away on holidays a magical time, and for those in Scotland, come join us in Costa del Joppa for some grounding groove this weekend!

Moving with the early light along a quiet stretch of beach offers a rare kind of freedom - not a performance, not a challenge, but a chance to reconnect, reset, and settle into the rhythm of the day.

BYOB (bring your own breakfast) and stay by the fire for a bit of extra light if your day allows.

Bookings just opened and I’m looking forward to move with you, come join!

Still not over our Saturday @move.tofeel session at Maycroft, Ailsa thankyou so much for joining us and bringing your incredible somatic healing,
We laughed, we cried, we released 😮‍💨

“The tears are not sadness, they’re euphoria”

“I’m buzzing, I could run about the fields now, I wanted more”

“I was so tired and now I feel so alive”

“Can’t believe I danced outside without my shoes on, a first”

“I went from, nope, checked out... to all in”

Movement really is medicine 👯‍♀️

🌕 Not only shining with humungous, supermoon light and barely a cloud in sight, but distant fireworks too, and not one… but two shooting stars. Ooft. Our January Wolf Moon sky was something special!

I’ve said it many times, and nights like this keep proving it: there is no better dance floor than glossy, moonlit sand.

And a bloomin’ brilliant group of folk - some gently orbiting a metre-wide circumference, others enacting shooting stars themselves.
Moon waltzers.
Wave groovers.
Fire gazers.
Under the anonymity of the night sky, it’s impossible to tell who is who, and together it feels quietly profound to be in powerfully gentle community like this.

Thank you for allowing me to do this thing called Move To Feel. What a privilege ✨

🎟️ Next sessions just gone live, book your movement medicine!

‘Flat as an Act’ emerged while I was thinking through preventative breast cancer surgery due to carrying the BRCA gene. While multiple reconstruction options were presented, my choice for aesthetic flat closure was repeatedly questioned, and I found a striking absence of visual reference or literature that reflected my choice.

So, I turned to collage instinctively, using cutting, layering, and fraying as a personal process of connection, play, and healing. The piece resists dominant narratives of reconstruction, holding space for autonomy, refusal, and bodily truth through tactile acts of sense-making and quiet defiance.

Now, post-surgery, the work exists as a fine art giclée print - flattened and refined, echoing surgical finality and cultural consumption, while traces of vulnerability and lived experience remain embedded beneath the surface.

A year today of gratitude since I had a double mastectomy and I am delighted to share that this work is currently on show in the Society of Scottish Artists 127th Annual Exhibition!

The SSA Annual Exhibition is one of the largest contemporary art exhibitions in Scotland, produced entirely by artists, with no public funding. The exhibition is on at The Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, until 4 February 2026, go see it!

Please check yourself, trust what you feel, and seek advice - early attention is an act of care for your future self.

🌕 Full Moon @move.tofeel
🐺 The Wolf Moon, 7:30pm, Sat 3rd Jan, 2026
🌊 Portobello Beach

Root down into the sand, breathe with the rhythm of the waves, and free the body with your natural groove.

With live guided somatic prompts and eclectic music through silent disco headsets, @move.tofeel is a silent disco for the soul.

Wolves live instinctively - attuned to rhythm, relationship, and inner knowing - so we too will dance for ourselves in the quiet strength of the pack.

No experience needed. Come wrapped up, come as you are.

Booking open, join us!

Last @move.tofeel park session of the year and who can move from…

Ambient - Indie Folk - Downtempo - Soul - Afrobeat - Jazz Funk - Alternative R&B - Post Rock - Minimal Techno - Rock & Roll - French Electronic - Experimental - Chamber Folk - Neo-Classical - Piano?

These ladies can, and did this morning with dance as regulation in real time. Through play, risk, rhythm, and expression, the nervous system learns safety in motion - as it remembers it can move, adapt, and soften.

🎧 Over four years of Wednesday Park @move.tofeel

🗣️ “It’s my most important meeting of my week.” they said.

Join us in the new year, there’s space for you.

“When I was dancing I didn’t even notice how wet I was getting in the rain! … What I get out of Move To Feel is the ability to take up space, to move freely and express myself without feeling self conscious.”

Cold Moon Christmas Frolics was a wild one with spells of horizontal rain, cheeky winds, and a fire that took serious commitment to light. Not a soul on the beach except the groove of 40 twirling bodies, moving purely for a healthy tantrum and delight.

From Glasgow, Falkirk, Stirling, the Borders, and Edinburgh, they came and turned a stormy December night into something bright, brave, and most definitely the alternative Christmas Party.
