January Update

January 10, 2023 by ladyarlyn

Hello,

We hope you are well.

On many levels the new calendar year is a collective fiction, on another, it does coincide with the return of the light in the northern hemisphere and there is a way that it can be harnessed to plan, seed, and grow another cycle of creation.

What are you planning/intending/visioning?

 

We’re practicing more, taking good care of each other, and doing our best to show up in the world with our skills and our values. We’re planning to share some music and some dancing. We’re also planning backpacking trips, but they will have to wait for the seasonal shifts.

This month we have Friday morning dance practice, Sunday January 15th live music Movement as Medicine, kid’s music and rhythm classes, and an online life coach / dance experience on Sunday January 22nd and more. If you get this newsletter and have been wanting to dance with us, but it feels too far away, invite the dance into your own home on the 22nd. All details + links for more info below.

Take care and we’ll see you soon,

Arlyn & David

 

–UPCOMING–

All Fridays | 9 – 10 am

Pre-Recorded Music for Dance practice

We create this dance together through deep listening to our whole selves – beyond the mind, tapping into the body, heart and soul of what it is to be human. If you are longing for a community of people in relationship with deep truth, we are gathering.
