this scream
3.5-hour virtual session
The 2024 U.S. Election Results revealed schisms in the collective unconscious that we had tried to shop away, drink away, sex away, travel away…schisms that had NOTHING to do with politics at all, but an overall pervasive sense of distractedness, emptiness and loneliness. We merely diverted our attention, focusing on anything but ourselves.
Our bodies knew better. And now it hurts.

dive deeper into your darkness to source your light
The day after the results came in, I designed and delivered a very special LIVE 75 minute somatic dance session for anyone that needed it. So many people were triggered, snatched back to awful memories that they thought they had “handled.” Forced to admit that the body truly does “keep the score,” they languished privately for weeks. Maybe even still now.
Over three nights I offered and held space for howling, crying, and dancing as hard as possible to help our collective body process, hold space for, and integrate this emotional upheaval. I now offer that up to you.
Now is
your time
Rather than let the raw emotions run their course, so many of us froze, or fainted, or started the fight with the windmills all over again. Most of us stuffed that shit away like contraband. Your emotional baggage defines you as long as you try to carry it like a concealed weapon.
Healing in community is the gold standard, but after generations of “me-myself&eyeing” our culture, being in a group to get yourself together feels, well, just like the feelings you're trying not to feel!
This is an opportunity to dance with my medicine without fear of who will see, or hear, or judge.
Created by Sah DiSimone, the SAH Method™ is a movement experience designed to alleviate the stress and trauma of living in an extractive economy and culture. It is a radical, spiritual body technique that is practiced without telling the story of why you are feeling the way you are feeling. The invitation is to show up with all your parts just as they are without judgement.
unleash the body’s Energy
If it could, your body would tell you all ways it loves you, but you allow your mind to shout over it! By dancing with purpose and awareness, we'll give your earthsuit a chance to speak and call in the calibration(s) it needs.
Become Self-Aware
You are you for a reason, and you belong. This isn’t about changing you–it’s about embracing each part of your being, every emotion as it comes, so you can live with more truth and joy.
Enhance Your Relationships
Things come together and fall apart again, like waves rising out of a trillion drops of water. Relationships transform moment to moment, dancing across our emotional landscape. As you experience your emotions coming forward, then leaving, you will find a release, an invitation into the comfort of your body.
accept and honor your feelings
So much of our suffering comes from striving to feel anything other than what's there to be felt. Reconnect to this opportunity to connect to the Divine through learning radical acceptance of each emotion. Stop holding them hostage. Let them guide you to the sacred space in your heart.
Welcome to The Spiritual Dance Floor
Unravel your biography by dancing towards your destiny.
Dance is divine mathematics and medicine meant to be used from a place of inquiry. We will not seek the “why come” nor the “who did it and what for.” We will feel oour way into motion with what is, resisting the urge to narrate eahc and every little mood, moment, feeling.
Sometimes you just feel some kinda way. And that's OK.
Sometimes you don't know what the fuq you feel, you almost feel nothing. That's okay, too. We bring our bodies to the dance floor just as they are, already knowing that bringing them there is ALREADY a change.
Lets get loose and free.

on the agenda
for your live, 3 NIght virtual workshop
circuit training for your soul
SoF Life™ healing sessions are contain 4-part segments called circuits. Our first component is breath--how deeply do you breathe?
5 Circuits to wring out residual emotions
Once we have reconnected with your breath, we will move with special breath; name it to claim it with special moves; dance with the spirit; dynamically meditate (slow breaths with very slow moves). We'll repeat that 5 times.
partnered with an extended dance pass
Your body keeps the score and knows what it needs to do to discharge extra static on its wires. Research is showing what our Ancestors already knew: dancing during hard times HEALS; dancing when life is good develops JOY and supports your PURPOSE.
offering your change up as an offering
Even though this is a private session, each evening we will offer up our transformation as a prayer for healing for all beings everywhere. In seated meditation we integrate what shifted during the movement practice and “make the bed” for deep rest.
Your Plan for Manifestation
We begin by claiming and acknowledging our rage and we will end by having tea with it and releasing it if it is ready to go. Over the course of the three nights, we build the conditions for the sacred to return to your rage. To help it along, you are encouraged to release an item that reminds you of an injustice against you.
Though this recipe is globally designed, each night unique mantras/affirmations may be added especially for you.
faq
What would I need to bring to the session?
Do I need to be a trained dancer?
Not at all! In fact, trained dancing--using choreography--is a type of storytelling that may get in the way of experiencing a full somatic release. You are invited to move however your body can move as long as you are respectful of the bodies and personal space of others.
Can I skip my therapy that day and do this instead?
Somatic Activated Healing™ is NOT a substitution for psychological and psychiatric treatment. While we do believe the body has the power to heal itself, it does so in community, with the trained support of an array of providers.
WHICH PROGRAM WILL WE USE TO MEET VIRTUALLY?
All sessions are offered via Zoom. You will receive your unique link after payment is provided. The same link will be used all three days.
WILL I HAVE THE OPTION TO ADD ON TIME TO MY SESSION?
These sessions are already extended due to the nature of the work. You can request additional sessions if you realize that we have sparked up a specific issue that you would like to dance through.
WILL I RECEIVE A RECORDING OF THE EXPERIENCE?
Yes, I do provide an unedited recording of your session. However, if you do not want to revisit the session, just let me know and I will send only a PDF of the mantras. If you would like a copy of the session without you in frame, I can provide that at an additional cost of $47.
Your virtual session will gift you with...
Feelings of inner strength and a major boost in energy.
The motivation and mindset to overcome any challenge ahead.
a Deepened connection to authenticity and self-expression
A visceral set of skills allowing you to be more present in your day to day.
Improved mental health and clarity

kind words from clients
Sweaty Saturdays saved my life! I am a person with PTSD who works in a toxic environment so Dr. Scott's sessions are a joyful necessity for me. Her intuition about what to focus a session on is always magically appropriate for what I need. I always gain instant relief and a sense of elegant empowerment by the end of a session.
—J. Lu
Anna has provided such a powerful message through every move and intention in multiple sessions I’ve taken with her. From the moment she opens up the space and closing the session. She has helped me experience a transformation of embodiment from the moment we start a session. This session has helped me understand how important it is to take a moment and move through my body clearing any symptoms of heaviness with Anna’s expertise of ancestral medicine incorporated has become beneficial to having a strong relationship with my internal guidance.
—M. Ramos
“Participating in Dr. Anna B. Scott's Somatic Activated Healing Dance Methodology has been eye opening and deeply transformative. Whether in virtual sessions or as part of group offerings for retreat guests my family hosts at Foxfire Ranch, each experience has deepened my connection to both my body and inner self. Dr. Scott's methodology creates a powerful space for releasing stored emotions, fostering healing, and unlocking new layers of self-awareness through movement. The group energy is incredibly supportive, allowing for a shared sense of vulnerability, trust and collective healing. It’s a unique and enriching journey that encourages deep, embodied transformation. Every session leaves me feeling more grounded, energized, and in tune with my authentic self.”
—A. Hollowell
“Working with Anna has been an absolute game changer in my life. She's nothing short of a spiritual engineer who's helped guide me on a search I didn't even know I was on. With a joyous heart with kindness courtesy, compassion, and a realness that your hard-pressed to find anymore, she works with you, next to you and gladly, showing you a way and joyously watching you make it to your own and all with an easy and delicious sense of humor. Your first experience with Anna will be sweaty. It will be electric. It will be riotous and it will be the taste that keeps you coming back. Blessed are we to have a jewel such a she.”
—K. McCafery

Anna Scott
With a doctorate in Performance Studies from Northwestern and extensive training in traditional, collaborative performance from the African Diaspora, I use performance at the intersection of dance, digital devices and text, on stages, in blogs, books and through strategic marketing plans as types of healing. I am an accomplished academic with work archived at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. I hold certifications in Quantum Storytelling, data visualization, and Somatic Activated Healing™. I certified in this somatic process in 2021 and currently serve as a guest teacher in the certification program. During sessions, I utilize SAH Method™ with traditional dances from across the African Diaspora as Spirit directs me. I call this combination “SoF Life.” My training in West African and African Diasporic forms spans 30 years as a professional dancer and professor of dance theory. I am a conjure woman and dance as a medium at Ilé Orunmila Afedefeyo and The Topanga Blue Flag Daré'. In a constant state of healing from Multiple Sclerosis, I am a testimony to the power of our soles in motion. A two-time recipient of the National Performance Network and Surdna Foundation grant, Southern Artists for Social Change with my collective, Earthseed, I am excited to be the founder of Joynasium®, a wellness enterprise based in Memphis, TN in service of saving our elder oak tree canopy.
Your Ancestors are calling you to the dance. Come unpack your bags, strew the mess all over the floor and learn how you can use this magic to release into your deepest desires.
