Dance for Repair
Hopes & Intentions
We dance to sift through the fragmentation we feel, and water the seeds of care within us.
We dance to respond compassionately to our home planet as she expresses her wounds.
We dance to reclaim our agency from the systems and stories of control that have separated us from our bodies and from nature.
We dance as an act of cellular, spiritual, and artistic communication.
We dance to transform all experience into healing material.

Healing
Healing is a process of rediscovering what the body wants to share through somatic attunement and deep listening. By building relationship to bioenergetic currents, discoveries abound which demonstrate that life is a non-dual, complex, interconnected matrix of experience and therefore an ecological approach might suggest we remain curious and patient as we traverse the landscapes we inhabit.
