WOMAN of ACTION
Leela Francis
How does someone blend a dynamically soulful mix of dance movement activism, life coaching, spiritual teaching and empowered public speaking into a life changing experiential program and passionate endeavor? That someone combines their deep passion and empathy for guiding women to thrive and move through their lives with peace, power and healing tools.That someone is Leela Francis.
Creator of Vividly Woman Tools and Training, Leela Francis is intensely devoted to aiding women and the men in their lives, to personally flourish through her live presentations, special events, monthly community engagements and experiential tools and enhanced life skill trainings.Leela was recently asked to share her inspiration; “I experienced the sudden and profound loss of my father at age 16 and turned to free and unapologetic emotional release through dance to deal with my grief.
Since that moment I am forever grateful for the profound healing one can discover through movement and dance. In my professional life now, I have transformed that young girl discovery to a place where I guide women home to their own bodies as a source of deep personal healing and restorative transformation.”
“When I was younger and so impressionable, I like so many women, struggled with weight issues, infertility, and poor body image. Once an adult, I discovered that I had been in pursuit of perfection, for years trying to cover up low self esteem and my lack of self worth.By “looking good” meant to me that I was acceptable and worthy.
My enriching journey back to wholeness and finding that place where I valued me just as I was, gave me the personal tools and real-life practices to rediscover my sensual, spiritual and innate creative power living within my body, so that now I can support that glorious, fulfilling pathway “home” for other women.”

DAFUR

Our Daily Dance for Dafur supporters participating in the project, are enthusiastically encouraged to dance for at least 15 heart opening minutes each and every day, for one month, to assist us in raising the much needed resources and funds for our sisters in Darfur.
Affirming that our dance does matter, our support can change lives and we together can make a difference for the women of Darfur… dancing!
