Dear Ones,
In October, I (Arlyn) gathered with 80 women to dance at Shakti Sisterhood with Melissa Michaels and we talked about why embody? Why bother bringing our life-force and attention more fully into our bodies? The reasons spoken into the room were as diverse as the group – from power, to connection to the earth, from more pleasure, to more purpose. What is better for you, when you are more attuned to your body?
We’re dancing on Friday mornings at the Hearth 9am – 10am. We’re dancing this month on Sunday November 13th with live music from 11am – 12:30pm. There is childcare available on site. David Alderdice, Daniel B, and Beth Quist will take us on a journey. Responsive live music, co-created with the dance is on of the best things, in my body.
And, a women’s mini-retreat has been called into being — “Release/Nourish” on November 20th from 9am-1pm at the Hearth in Paonia. Details. If you have been longing for more connection in your life, more strength, more presence, more joy, and less stress – please join us.
Also, whatever it is that you are doing this month, please remember to bring some gentleness. Maybe some soup. Some willingness to listen a little deeper to what your whole being can say yes to.
blessings,
Arlyn and David
