Movement and Creativity are vital to our lives. When we direct our focus to deepening connections to ourselves, each other and life itself, our experience of life becomes fertile, rich, vibrant. Movement: classes, workshops, experiments, performances, curiosity, discovery. Creativity: art, music, process, creation, discussion, experiencing, learning. The body is the physical aspect of the personality and movement is the personality made visible.- Mary Starks Whitehouse http://www.tiffanysankary …

Sonnets To Orpheus I, 3 by R. M. Rilke translated by H. Landman A god can do it. How do you expect a man to squeeze on through the lyre and follow? His mind is torn. Where heartways intersect, you won't find any temple to Apollo. True singing, as you teach it, isn't wanting, not wooing anything that can be won; no, Singing's Being. For the god, not daunting. But when are we? And when will he then turn into our being all the Earth and Stars? It isn't that you love, child, even if the …

Bliss Dance is a moving meditation done to passionate world music in a supportive circle of community. The village style dances are fairly simple and accessible, and taught anew every time. When the body is engaged in these basic, rhythmic motions, and simultaneously resonating to powerful music, mind, body and spirit become integrated. We set our intentions, focus awareness on the candle flame in the center, and lean into the comforting sensation of being held in the circle. The dances start of …

Participants will acquire deep contact with their natural rhythms and pulses (heart pulse, breath pulse, walking pulse…), amazing experiences of multi-layered rhythmics; they will learn to play a percussion instrument (up to an advanced level); they will learn a fun, connected way of concentrating and keeping attention out of thought mode; they will cleanse themselves from stagnated emotions in the trance of drumming and chanting alone. And they will experience the older-than-the-world feeling o …

Contra dance is a kind of social dance with live music where a caller teaches the figures.  You don't need to come with a partner, and while there is a short lesson before each of our dances it's optional.  Most people learn contra dancing by doing it. It looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOFeIIk4KY You should wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in.  High heels don't work well.  We'll have water but if you'd like to save cups bringing a water bottle is good.

What I will be teaching you, you already know. All of us have a body in which we experience and interact with life. But have you ever thought about how our body is really just the house for our soul? Inside us reside the images and narratives of who we are- everything that has ever happened to us. The idea behind my original creation, Fusion-Improvisation, is that if we can engage and refine the vessel we call body, there is no limit to how we can reveal our souls. When we are skilled with our b …
