SAVE THE DATE….✨✨✨

Please join us for a deeply restorative evening of sound healing and balancing with Maleine. Dress comfortably, come as you are, lie down, and receive.
A gift for the nervous system, a quieting for the mind, a slowing of the pace so we can all return to a baseline homeostasis of peace.
I’m so very grateful for your return, Maleine!
Very much looking forward to this offering!

We are still dancing… every Thursday… as a group of women. 9-11. Am.

This group, for many, is a steady non-negotiable on the calendar. Every week. Same time. Same place. Meeting ourselves in a new way… the most important part of the week. Therapy through movement.

There is a steady core group committed to the practice, and an ebbing flow of women who come when they can. Newcomers are always welcome.

We open with a grounding meditation to steady our beating hearts as one. We dance a full wave , usually about an hour and 1/2… traversing rhythms which invite us into many aspects of self, life, and movement. And we close, together, in breath and presence.

This is a practice of quieting the story, dropping into our bodies, listening to what is buried, present, or rising, and following the impulses. Allowing our bodies to move as we feel moved… by the dance. By inner guidance. This is a practice of dropping the “shoulds” and allowing the inner wisdom of the body to move us.

There are so many pathways to discovery and healing and I can say firsthand that dance… movement in a nonjudgmental, safe, well held space, can be TRANSFORMATIONAL.

And why just women? Because we need it. Because many of these women have never EVER felt safe to move their bodies freely in public. Because we need circles of women to be gathering and co-creating, showing up and being vulnerable and ALIVE…together.

This weekly dance practice is weaving something that transcends words. The depth of work happening here on the deepest internal level is profound, and rippling out into community and the larger collective. Because if we are to heal, it must happen through the bodies. And if we are to heal on a larger level, it begins with self.

Healing internally, rippling out.

Plus… we sweat. (It’s an incredible work out… damn we are strong!)
We laugh. We celebrate each other. We hold space and co-create. We bring our most very unique and precious individual selves into the practice, and that reflection allows each of us to do the same.

This is dance. And it is soooooo much more than dance.

Welllll…in the fullness of the summer swirl and comings and goings we weren’t quite sure we’d find a date to dance under the moon together, but after some flexible scheming and dreaming WE ARE GOING FOR IT!!!

A couple days before the full Sturgeon moon and partial lunar eclipse , it will work out beautifully because we’ll get to see it rise and be dancing beneath it!!!

Christina Montano facilitates a gentle guided meditative cacao ceremony to start, we tend a sacred fire on her beautiful land, and then I guide a free form conscious movement practice in community, beneath the moon, with the fire, on the soft earth and surrounded and held by all the natural elements.

This is an invitation into your body and breath, an opportunity to be present with your intentions for the cycle ahead, and a chance to be and move together in a deep and connective community. All ages and genders welcome, often there are babes in arms up through elders and we have the sweetest time shared.

I love these events! If you’ve been, you know how magical they are. If this peaks your interest and you haven’t been yet, I encourage you to join us! Summer is so fleeting, and we only hold these outdoor events while the season and weather allows!
No time like the present, come dance!

Hey wellness community!

Emerging from the swirl of summer fullness to say heyyyyy and I miss ya and after all the expansive days of summer it sure will be good to get into an autumn rhythm with yall again!

Lots of comings and goings, family tending, retreat leading, song weaving, massage school focusing, grief navigating, puppy walking, and summer swirling has been filling my days.

This week I’m back at the center for classes, then away again to settle my daughter in MT back at school, then back again last week of Aug and hopefully settling into a consistent autumn flow again! I’ll be graduating from my massage program the beginning of Oct and will be thrilled to be integrating this more into my work with community! It is soooo alive in my right now!

I hope summer has been kind to you and you are able to savor some of the rich blessings that we wait all year for here.

The sunsets, the phosphorescence, the Milky Way, and the warm salty waters have been some of my life giving and soul balancing medicine lately. May you soak up the small moments and let this beautiful nature around us hold you!

Will love to see ya in the practices again this week and the last week of Aug, then into September we will flowwww together!!!

This week at the center…

There is devastation around the globe and an equal rising of love. There are women who pour their hearts and souls and deep intentions out into the world at the waters edge. Hope is not lost. It is alive and emerging.

Thank you Lynne Bechard for this beautiful lil video creation (all done without my knowing ! How do you capture such beauty so discreetly!!!??)love you.
