A night of dance to celebrate the excruciatingly exquisite experience of being a Fallen Woman.

Join Brighid Rose @dark.heart.temple for an evening of celebration, permission and extravagance.

Dance into an ecstatic melting pot of primordial feminine sin and seduction.
Journey so deeply inside yourself that you become a vibration of your very own.
Spin and whirl into a portal of chaos and remember that this is your power.
Fall, fall, fall…descending into the very core of primal dark from whence we came.
Embrace the labels, the judgements, the projections, the fears, the gossip…not transcend them, but drink them in because yes, YES, we are ALL OF IT.

This is not a workshop, or a class, or an info night…Sure, you may learn something new, or refine some skills, or process some sh!t…but only because it naturally bubbles up from the innermost depths of your being, not because anyone has ‘taught’ you anything…. Look, basically, it’s a dance sesh…

But it is one that is woven together with the wildness of our hearts, the dripping of our sweat, and the ecstatic pulsation of our deepest desires.

So let’s come together and celebrate the excruciatingly exquisite experience of being a Fallen Woman.

What is a House of Fallen Women?
Houses for ‘Fallen Women’ emerged most prominently in the Victorian era (18th-19th century) and were usually a variation of an asylum, an institution, or a convent, all with the premise of providing beds, food, and sometimes work for women who had ‘fallen from the grace of god’.

Usually, this meant that they were either ‘promiscuous’ (ie. had sex out of wedlock - voluntarily or against her will), or overly emotional (AKA ‘hysterical’).

Yes, there were women - and humans - who suffered greatly from what we would now understand as genuine mental illness, however a lot of the time these ‘fallen’ women were merely discarded from society due to their deviations from the norm - even ever so slightly.

For many, these houses were a place of refuge - a place where they could escape the dangers of purely being themselves in the outside world; a lot of women lived and worked there voluntarily for the remainder of their lifetime because they simply had no-where else to go.
