BESCHRIJVING

This wild unraveling of so many systems collapsing at once has shown us that we need each other in ways that we may not yet fully understand or know how to do. But we have these bodies that know how to move and our willingness to be real with each other about how right now we need an exquisite nurturing of ourselves, each other, and the earth. A gentleness that says I’m here with you, a tenderness that replies let’s do this together, which is an unlearning of everything that ever told us we had to do it alone. If we are to find ways to ease the pain and horror of living in late state capitalism, surely the medicine will be in our capacity to be with one another, tending to what’s needed so that our individual burdens are lessened knowing they are seen, held and carried in community. 

Along with the dance, we'll explore the Non-linear Movement Method created by Michaela Boehm, a somatic practice that identifies and unwinds patterns of contraction, and through gentle movements relieves tension and soothes the nervous system. 

And we'll do nature inquiry from the School of Lost Borders, a practice of taking our hardest and most tender questions into nature for guidance and mirroring. 

rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation.

healing is an act of communion.
