Curveballs | Sessions in Seattle

I have just finished teaching a residential retreat on Vashon Island, in the beautiful Hanna Barn. I feel content and inspired by everyone who came and dove into their inner landscapes of body, mind, and soul, and by how this moved the dance. I felt honored to witness each person’s journey within themselves and with each other, and I loved participating, too.

Leading up to and throughout this retreat, there were so many curveballs that I could hardly believe it! Every time I thought that must be the last one, more just kept pouring in.

My intention for this retreat was to feel, explore, and develop the capacity to move from a dynamic core. Staying in one’s core, NO MATTER WHAT.

I won’t list all the things that were pulling on me and on all of us, but I believe the theme wove its way through and taught me far beyond our long weekend together. It mirrored my own capacity to be with what moves, to change and be changed, while staying in my sense of self without flailing — or noticing when I did.

One thing that was truly revealed to me is that I cannot move from my core without deepening my relationship with the rest of my body. It is simply not possible. In groups of people, dancing or not, we cannot move on our own without being affected by the actions of everyone else. We are all influencing the whole, all the time.

Thanks for reading! Send me a message — I always look forward to hearing from you.
