Ariane holds a degree in Comparative Religion from Norwich University, with a strong background in Buddhism, Native American Studies, Celtic Christianity and Sacred Geometry. Her interest in universal patterns found in nature, art, ritual and archetypes led her into the formal study and practice of astrology.
To understand the unconscious language of the body, Ariane studied and trained as a facilitator of Authentic Movement through the Contemplative Dance program in Amherst, MA.
Ariane has been exploring the depth and joy of body movement since the 1970s. Her dance experience includes: ballet, jazz, Irish, African and Modern dance; performer/teacher at Maine Dance Center and Down East Dance Arts in Ellsworth, ME; co-founder and co-director of Seven Dancers, a performance company in Bar Harbor, ME.
Ariane also practices yoga, tai chi and fencing..
