Hello Dear Ones,
This September has us carrying everything out of our beloved music studio and moving it around to dig a trench for some radon mitigation. We hope that it is cleansing and allows for new creative pathways to open, because it’s feeling rather disruptive right now.
We hope that whatever it is that is shaking up your world right now is ultimately opening up new creative pathways and a deeper connection to your own heart.
September 16, 23 & 30 Arlyn will offer 3 morning dance practices 9am-10am with pre-recorded music at the Hearth, then we will gather again on October 2nd for a live-music Movement as Medicine, details below.
Additionally, both David and Arlyn will be playing music in some different groups at the Mountain Harvest Festival at the end of the month, details below.
Blessings,
Arlyn & David

“As you notice your ability to act on your own behalf in the present moment, the terrible helplessness and self-abandonment common to all trauma slowly yields to a sense of personal empowerment. In time, accessing your power through present-moment awareness can become your automatic reaction to negative situations. As you grow more practiced in noticing your triggers, offering yourself kindness and remembering that the power to heal your life is always available in the present moment, the situations that once set you off lose their explosive potential.” – Martha Beck
