Caroline

 

Caroline is an accredited and qualified 5Rhythms® movement and dance teacher, motivational & life skills coach, nlp master practitioner & presenter, healer and shamanic guide.

She is a mother of six and a Grandmother.

She take's part in a variety of shamanic experiences from modern day to very ancient traditions like buriels, sweat lodges and fire walking. As well as active roles in ceremony and ritual.

She works closely with Ya'Acov Darling Khan and the School of Movement Medicine, with movement, ritual and ceremony, where some of her deepest work has unfolded.

She considers modern day struggles and sufferings (i.e. overcoming abuse in many forms,) to be part of that journey for many.
Caroline has also trained and studied with the Sacred Trust (foundation for shamanic studies) with Simon Buxton, and continues her studies with Ya’Acov Darling Khan, Gabrielle Roth, Chris Luttichau and other extraordinary and profound shamanic teachers from around the world.

She has also trained with Richard Bandler in NLP (neuro linguistic programming) & NHR™ (neuro hypnotic repatterning) which she incorporates in many of her workshops and work with individuals. See NLP

 

"Caroline's work is crafted just as much from her own experience of life as it is from the many years of study she has undertaken. I have seen her emerge and take her place in the circle of teachers who are committed to excellence, ongoing learning and the delicate balance of personal power and humility which is a foundation for good study. She is delightfully creative and the deep roots that she has developed through maintaining her equilibrium in life's storms as well as her sense of humour means she can hold the space for you to take your journey, safely, deeply and truthfully. Be warned, the love she feels for the dance and for life are highly infectious."Ya'Acov Darling Khan. School of Movement Medicine.

 

"Caroline Carey is a shamanic healer and teacher, who has dived deeply into the rich dark roots of the shamanic path and danced within its primal landscapes. I am very pleased that she has now chosen to share her skills in accessing the ecstatic abandonment that shamanism brings for healing and transformation: you are in good hands." Simon Buxton - The Sacred Trust

 

There are many challenges in this life of unpredictability. Often there are patterns in our lives connected to our ancestry that we may need to change, whether we are aware of them or not....there may be dances that they need us to dance for them.

In this work we learn to connect more deeply with our ancestors by simply stepping out of our own way and allowing their dances to flow through us. This is a place for deep humbleness in allowing them to be our teachers.
This is the work I love to be student to and to teach to others, whether as individuals or as groups of many. It is about love, healing and about opening our hearts. I look forward to working, playing and dancing with you on this ecstatic and fascinating journey.

I will be delighted to bring any workshop (ranging from one day to five days) or evening session to your workplace, town/city or community. For any requests or if more information is needed please contact info@carolinecarey.com

There is no place that this work cannot benefit.

Always with love and a deep respect for all things,

Caroline x.

 

When I was four years old I wore a white tutu and pink satin ballet shoes, when I was a teenager I danced to rock and roll down at the local youth club. For the rest of the time I danced to my 45-rpm record player in my bedroom late at night or early in the morning.
As a family we lived in the grounds of a derelict stately home that was my adventure play ground, and the castle of my dreams. I rode horses and had numerous pets that I spent more time with than anything else. I was born in the Midlands in 1960 and lived then in the beautiful English countryside. My education was in a catholic convent.
It was not a terribly easy childhood, it had its 'issues' but my escape was into nature, with animals, and my writing and poetry.

Moving On
All this was not to last though as I became a teenage Mum at 16 and ended up living in the very rough suburbs of a city. The complete opposite to my previous existence, I had to face many struggles that life gave to me, I was never able to finish my education and so spent most of my young adult life caring for my children and invalid husband at that time. I learnt much and often the hard way. Life was tough.

Healing
I worked part time taking care of the elderly and also took a diploma as a herbalist. I was always fascinated with healing. Amidst the rearing of my little ones I managed to create a small business as a healer and herbalist creating ‘Natural Care’ products. Funny the saga we had with pots of herbal preparations and little fingers that tried to dip in and out.
But despite my struggles I always found moments to dance in my bedroom and anywhere else I possibly could. Dance was and is my freedom, my prayer and my sanctuary; it is where I connect more deeply with myself than at any other moment. It is where I am inspired, where I create and where I constantly long to return too.

5 Rhythms
Living then in Ireland I found the 5 Rhythms practice when my youngest daughter was a small baby, 13 years ago. It was hard to separate myself from motherhood and daily duties but I religiously went to my weekly classes exploring my own healing and the work I needed to do for myself. After two years I knew I had to share this work with others and become a teacher so I began traveling and training with Gabrielle Roth. It was against all the odds, by this time a single Mum on welfare, having broken free from an unhealthy relationship.
This work was completely changing my life. I know now anything is possible no matter what your situation. The training took me to New York and California, many parts of the UK.
Both Gabrielle and Ya'Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, then the Moving Centre Uk and now School of Movement Medicine have been a huge inspiration to me and I thank them for all they give me in their teachings and guidance.
I have spent many years on the dance floor, as a student and a teacher. Played numerous roles in theatre and developed many skills.

Shamanism
After a lifetime fascination with nature, dreams, journeying and spirituality, I began to include traditional shamanic techniques into my work. I trained with Simon Buxton of the Sacred Trust and discovered that so much of my life had already been a shamanic practice, this was deeply confirming for me.

Put simply, I love my work and I love to dance. It has led me from the dance floor into theatre, to traveling the world, into writing my story, and to meeting different people from all walks of life. It has helped me to heal and continue to heal my life despite the struggles I have faced.
I have three gorgeous sons, three beautiful daughters and two grandchildren. I'm a very proud Mum and Granny. Life isn't always easy but as long as I can dance I have a limitless resource of creativity to support me.
My own dance is an on-going exploration of my body, my soul and my ever changing and expanding personal growth.

NLP
In the last few years, after meeting with an nlp practitioner, that I worked on myself with, I was hugely inspired. I went on to study and train in NLP (neuro linguistic programming) with Dr Richard Bandler. Co-Creator of NLP
I realized so much of my own teachings incorporated this, especially in the desire to help other people find their potential or to help them to follow their dreams without limitations, as well as give attention to any difficulties people have and overcoming them. It is a big desire of mine.
I am now a Master NLP Practitioner.

 

My children are nearly all grown up now and living interesting lives of their own, musicians, a builder, a surfer/sailor, a hairdresser, they have done well, So I am happily bringing my own teachings into the world more and more, and have become the business woman that I never realized was in me.

My own work and teaching that I have developed now incorporates Dance, Movement, Shamanism and NLP. This work is about integrating Body Heart Mind and Soul. Within it are practices both ancient and modern, some challenges and always lightness and fun. It is about growing into who we are meant to be and empowering ourselves on our own healing path.

I look forward to sharing my passion with you, learning about yours and meeting you on or off the dance floor.
I am a life coach and have a deep passion for bringing all of my work into movement and meditation to create healing of our ancestry, the environment and ourselves. I also work in businesses with business theatre and body language coaching.

Part time I’m a funky DJ, who loves to party and often find myself in theatre and filmmaking. May as well try everything I reckon : )

I love my life and I love to share it.
