The Remedy: Expressive Arts Programs
We need a REMEDY...
A way to EMBODY,
A way to DESTRESS,
A way to BE SEEN & HEARD,
A way to HEAL,
A way to JOY,
And a way to BE THE CHANGE.
Creativity, Expression and Connection are the missing KEYS to healing and living forward...
Why this is so important and why this is the REMEDY…
You know the difference between chatting with friends and socializing vs. soul connecting on a deeper level…..
Our stories are our power. Our stories have shaped us, informed us and taught us, and for some, these (stories have harmed us…) When we step into our power and claim and own our stories, we RECLAIM our beautiful shining selves, in a good way.
As a culture of the “perfectionistic view”, we have become too closed and conditioned to share ourselves freely. Many of us only feel safe to share under special conditions. When we share our stories and find our OWN MEANING, we can heal and connect back into the joy of living, the gratitude for this ONE PRECIOUS LIFE.
Joy and Toni bravely create those conditions by being our authentic selves with you. We will share with you our stories, make you laugh and make you cry...sing to you and dance with you. You will do the same, allowing your truths to be revealed. Joy and Toni create a sacred container to process the range of emotions that comes with this intense time.
There is a WISE ONE inside of each and every being.
We want to meet you!
We want you to know you!
We want you to meet you as well.
What exactly is The REMEDY, you ask?
As you know, one of our specialties is taking the energetic pulse of what’s going on in the world and creating a playlist of musical alchemy for what is needed. This is the foundation of the Remedy. We share musical medicine along with writing prompts, expression practices and sharing circles each session.
The REMEDY is more than just a super fun and wonderful time to connect. It is a tool to process our lives and the world around us.
To really be seen, heard and listened to keeps things from getting bottled up inside of us. We can move our emotions, make sense of what dwells inside of us, gain wisdom from others, and feel compassion and empathy. And we might hear just exactly what we needed to hear to remember that we are not alone.
If you are craving connection with your highest self, your chosen community, a space to reflect, a personal check-in time and a chance to meet new beautiful people, join us for THE REMEDY.
When we join together and create an incredible REMEDY of community, movement, sharing, listening and holding space for each other during this intense and wild time.

"I’m so grateful that you've created a community to transform our struggles into hope and connection. The Remedy & JourneyDance class is my therapy these days! I feel joyful and like we can conquer the world. Thank you for holding space for all of us to laugh, cry, and dance our way to the other side."

“Thank you, let me take this opportunity to tell you that The Remedy has been such a gift. Toni and Joy have obviously put so much heart, thought, and energy into this program. It has been a comfort and an awakening for me. It has quite simply brought a feeling of abundance, connection, and creative expression back to my life, which was honestly quite numbed out over the past half year.”

“Words cannot really describe how much The Remedy has uplifted me over the past 18 days, but it only seems fitting to write them anyway. I’ve had a lifelong desire to bring both dance and writing into my daily life and it’s been an epic struggle to make it happen. This beautiful program has revealed the alchemical ingredient that’s been missing: Connection. Dancing in community. Writing in community. And most importantly, SHARING that writing immediately, and in community. My writings and the inspired creations that my Remedy sisters have shared have created a space of such aching beauty that I don’t believe I could have created alone, particularly in these times. Even on mornings when I’m exhausted and am sure I have nothing to offer, magic has emerged. I want to keep doing this every day, forever. Thank you so much Toni and Joy for bringing us The Remedy!”

“Taking part in The Remedy was one of the best decisions I've made lately. I came for the body movement. I stayed for the whole experience: moving in community, hearing poetry, the compelling writing prompts, actually writing after a movement process and being witnessed and honored. I already love to dance. But I have loved to write in this container just as much. Toni and Joy compassionately and passionately welcome each of us and all our parts. I'm thrilled The Remedy will continue in a new form.”
