Dear One,

Happy Spring Equinox!

I wish I could speak like music. I wish I could put the swaying splendor of the fields into words So that you could hold Truth against your body and dance. I am trying the best I can with this crude brush, the tongue,To cover you with light. I wish I could speak like divine music. I want to give you the sublime rhythms of this earth and the sky’s limbs As they joyously spin and surrender, surrender against God’s luminous breath.Hafiz wants you to hold me against your precious body And dance, DANCE.~Hafiz

 

I’m so excited for the upcoming Open Dance Space on Sunday March 22 from 2-5pm at the Blue Sage in Paonia that I wanted to send you all another email to remind you about it. An exploration of movement and sound through deep listening. I hope you can join David and I for this grand adventure. Open to the whole family. Please arrive at 2pm even if you can’t stay for the whole afternoon.

The last time we had the combination of live music with the Open Dance Space, I found it to be quite ecstatic. The longer time-frame will allow for a deep alchemy to occur of movement and sound – as well as personally for anything you are being with in the turning of spring.

“Creative movement is a function of our innate biological rhythms and is thus closer to natural human expression than any other.” ~Diane Lynch Fraser

 

And, I’m happy to announce the Embodying Rhythm 7-week frame drum class with David Alderdice (I’ll be there as an assistant). Wednesdays 7-8:30pm, at the Blue Sage in Paonia May 6 – June 17, 2009.We will explore and expand our rhythmic awareness with traditional grooves and modern applications.Open to beginners. Frame drums available to use.Call 527-3826 for more information and to sign up. $57 for all 7 classes.

 

I have several KVNF public radio Medicine Shows coming up: Sundays 10am – 1pm: March 29, April 12  & April 19. http://www.kvnf.org/

 

Blessings and I look forward to seeing you soon (maybe even at the open dance space march 22, 2-5pm),

LOVE! Arlyn
