What is JourneyDance™?
JourneyDance™ is an intuitive, dynamic movement practice that blends music, guided imagery, and expressive movement to help you shed layers of inhibition and reconnect with your authentic self.
Unlike traditional dance, there are no choreographed steps.
Instead, you are invited to explore movement freely while being gently guided through an emotional and physical journey.
What to Expect in a JourneyDance™ Experience:
A Space Without Mirrors: Free yourself from self-judgment and immerse in the moment.
Facilitators, Not Teachers: You are the creator of your own dance — the facilitator holds space for your exploration.
Simple Movement Suggestions & Visualizations: Gently guiding you toward emotional release, embodiment, and self-expression.
Powerful Energy Flow: Each session builds to an exhilarating release, leaving you feeling vibrant and empowered.
Inspirational World Music: A blend of global rhythms, soulful melodies, and immersive beats to enhance your journey.
A Joyful & Transformational Experience: JourneyDance™ is as fun as it is powerful, leaving you uplifted and deeply connected.
Client Love for JourneyDance™ with Jean
“The music, guidance, and movement brought feelings into light. After doing the Easy Does It JourneyDance™, I had a message from my subconscious. It was a very clear and supportive message for my wellbeing. And, I had fun and felt lighter after the hour of dancing!” — M.M.
“Jean uses her intuition in a powerful way to select the inspirational music that leads to a healing experience. She is so encouraging of free expression and gives a safe place to express emotions that the dance may stir up. If you’ve never tried JourneyDance™ with Jean, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!” — K.B.

In Person
Moving Through Grief JourneyDance™
Grief touches us in ways that are hard to describe but are felt deep in our hearts. With movement expression, we can find relief from the physical manifestations of grief, promoting acceptance, comfort, and healing.
Every time we experience a loss, we have an opportunity to learn, change, and grow IF we allow ourselves to move and not to stay stuck.
Movement expression unlocks healing through engaging the mind, body, and soul in unison.
-
Gathered in a circle, there is a short time to journal and set our thoughts for the practice.
We introduce ourselves with a word and a movement.
We invite our losses onto the dance floor with us as we move and release the stored energy holding us back from moving on.
We move as a group and as individuals, connecting, witnessing, and allowing the expression of our hearts' grief within a sacred circle of collective understanding and love.
We return to the circle with time to journal and share our insights and reflections.
“Through dance, we give our grief a voice, allowing movement to express what words cannot — transforming sorrow into healing, one step at a time.”
Meet Your JourneyDance™ Facilitator — Jean Trewhella
Hi! I’m Jean Trewhella, founder of Insights Studio and facilitator of both JourneyDance™ and Ecstatic Dance classes.
It’s my mission to not only serve as Insights Studio owner and facilitator, but also to be a curator of our collective, creating a space that is truly a vessel for creative exploration, positive change, and restorative energy.
My vision through Insights Studio is to provide a space where people can come to find serenity, acceptance, and unconditional self-love — all judgment left at the door.
I wish to honor and accept you wherever you are in life.
Throughout my life journey, I’ve lived through situations that give me special compassion and respect for people in all areas of their own journey.
I’ve struggled with loss, addiction, abuse, and the pressures of corporate life, being the main breadwinner in a male-dominated field and mothering emotionally troubled children.
Throughout my college, post-graduate experience, and career, I’ve navigated my spirituality and life while relying on the support that the conscious dance movement has to offer.
I know first-hand how grounding and healing these somatic experiences can be.
I’m deeply connected to spiritual energy and am open to being used by Spirit to help others feel safe and seen.
I am so excited to meet you!
Client Love for JourneyDance™
"Jean is a thoughtful and compassionate facilitator who truly knows how to guide a transformative journey. I had the privilege of attending one of her JourneyDance™ classes online while she was leading an in-person group, and the experience was seamless — I felt fully immersed and connected as if I were right there in the room. Her presence creates a supportive space for deep emotional release and healing.
I highly recommend dancing with Jean, especially for those navigating grief — her guidance allows movement to become a powerful tool for processing, releasing, and finding peace." — D.G.
