Chakradance is spontaneous movement to specific music so that each of us can better align with seven energy centers in our bodies—called chakras. You need no experience to dance this therapeutic journey and won’t be learning any Chakradance moves. Rather, you create your own dance while guided by my facilitation.

Although we are journeying into our souls, Chakradance is not affiliated with a particular religious worldview, and you don’t need any concept of or belief in chakras to participate. All you need is an open heart and mind to dance in this safe, judgment-free zone.

Hi, I’m Jim Macdonald, and I love to dance. As much as I love to dance, I also believe in the therapeutic powers of dance. My own life is living testament to that.

In brief, I’m a licensed facilitator in Chakradance, live here in Bozeman with my son River, love Yellowstone, and have an assortment of interests—among them providing space and opportunity for this transformative dance and intimacy in our community.

In recent years, I was hired by the founder of Chakradance, Natalie Southgate, and helped her facilitate a seven-month online “Deep Dive” course. Locally, I have facilitated Chakradance and intimacy workshops.
