Portals of Healing
March 6
| $79Each one of us is born with a blueprint – a map of soul growth for our lives. Throughout our childhood, we then have experiences that support this growth. As these experiences are mainly in relation to our mother, our father and to spirit, we can say that, most of the material for our souls learning resides inside of these three portals.

Dance First Member Insight from Vashti Blacker & Critical Mass Dance Company
This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight is from Vashti Blacker, a member of the Dance from the Heart community & Critical Mass Dance Company!
Dear dancers,
Unprecedented has been a word often used to describe 2020 and the impacts of the Covid-19 Pandemic – both individually and collectively. Life over zoom and digital connection has taken the place of gathering and dancing with each other.
In her book Maps of Ecstasy: The Healing Power of Movement, author Gabriel Roth writes, “Dancing, singing, storytelling, and silence are the four universal healing salves.” Healers throughout the ages have questioned, “When did you stop dancing?” In these unprecedented times, I pose the question to each of us.
Monday Love to your Old Pals and New Friends
“ Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.”
~ Mark Twain
When was the last time you looked up an old friend? How do the people you know change over time? What stays the same?
It’s all too easy to lose track of people over time, but it’s not really feasible to maintain every acquaintance that comes our way. We change as circumstances around us shift and our social structure evolves like any other part of our environment.

How might you design and use simple movement practices to help?

https://consciousdancer.com/dance-first-member-insight-from-toni-bergins-journeydance/
This week’s Dance First Member Insight is from Toni Bergins, creator of JourneyDance!
Dear Dancers,
Feel the feelings. Find the gifts.
Find the blessings….hmmmm. You may have heard this phrase and found it painful. Many of us have been tested and faced losses great and small. We have been challenged to become flexible, resilient, and certainly more empathetic in the face of isolation and change. I’ve leaned in even more fully to the practice of conscious dance and movement as a refuge in such intense uncertainty.
Dance from the Heart: Journey class
Connect to your heart and tune into your inner wisdom with heart-centered movement! Envision and embody your heart-felt intentions with the 7 steps of Dance from the Heart.
Monday Love to your Once-in-a-Lifetime Moments
“ You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
~ Mae West
What are some things you only do once in your life? Why are reminders that life is fleeting so important? How do you know when you’ve reached another stage in your journey?
There are a number of firsts in your life, many of them come early. First car, first kiss, first taste of an ‘adult’ beverage. Firsts usually mean many more in store, it doesn’t take long for the novelty to wear off.
Some things are so exciting the first time or two, only to become boring, mundane, or mindlessly habitual as time goes by. Any vice is a case in point. Many folks have things in their past that they wish they had never tried once.

The Power of Dancing (Heartbeat In Training)
July 11 - July 18
We will dance our inner and outer landscapes, explore the mystery of the Rhythms, finding a deeper authenticity and wisdom about, who we really are. We will invite the presence of the heart into our dance, express forms, going to the edge and surrender to what is. We will share the joy of our dancing soul and bring it all into the freedom of stillness.
THE ANIMAL DANCER
July 12 - July 17
Dancing power, instinct, flexibility, freedom, sensitivity and wit from our wild part – “Wild is the closeness of the sacred” Holderlin
Animal comes from anima, that is to say soul, breath of life. Body, heart and spirit are linked and our dance will draw its source from this unification. Our modern life, due to the techniques and codes that govern it, greatly limits our potential for movement and expression.
REUNITE !
July 1
“Unleashing our power through the Rhythms and their shadows”
First we will find ways to be awake in the body, in the heart and in the mind as we move through the 5 Rhythms, exploring in depth their energy and hidden treasures, letting them teach us their medicine: fluidity, focus, surrender, creative freedom and connection.
Body, Heart, Mind & Soul
Body, Heart, Mind & Soul
July 5 - July 10
How often do you feel whole?
Everything in balance and working together,
All the different aspects of your self integrated and unified..
A blessed relief from those other times when head and heart are at odds, or the mind tries to bend the body to its will.
Sunday, February 14, 2021
Wild Nature
June 19 - June 23
Dance with a focus on the elements, our wild nature and our connection to the natural world – stormy or slow changing, delicate or blazing.. finding affinity and creative possibility in the truth of our own energy. Our footsteps will lead us in and out of connection with others and with landscape and music. We are lucky to have coast, river, woods, mountain and sea at our disposal. We dance in a spacious hall with a great floor, as well as outside. There will be live music from Joe Caswell at some of the sessions.
Light my Fire
June 18 - June 20
A Waves and Heartbeat Workshop
Expressing wishes, longings and passions means opening your heart and showing yourself in all its vulnerability. It takes courage to communicate what you want or not. It takes courage to stand up for yourself and your own story. And it takes courage to let your heart burn for something or someone.
JUICY
June 11 - June 13
In this workshop we begin by working with liberating life energy in our physical body and welcoming physical movement. We’ll then continue liberating life energy in our emotional body, our heart, and welcoming emotional movement.
As our hearts get juicy again, our sexuality is awakened in our moving bodies and so we will explore the connection between our emotional and sexual lives.
Dancing with Myself
February 22 - March 22
a 4 week self study series guided by Jonathan Horan
The ongoing pauses of many of our in-person 5Rhythms dance floors is a continued invitation to get to know ourselves – seeking and exploring in movement who we are and what we’re here to do, solo.

Dance First Member Insight from Breema Center Founder and Director Jon Schreiber
This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight is from Jon Schreiber, Director of The Breema Center!
Dear Dancers,
We live on the planet of rhythm, in a rhythmic universe. From the Megalocosmos, to Nature, to our body, all the way to the physiologic systems that sustain our life, even down to the movement of our atoms and their electrons and particles, everything has a natural rhythm. And all these rhythms converge in a coordinated dance of infinite depth and majesty!

Monday Love to your Family and Flow
“ The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
~ Alan Watts.
What a difference a year makes, right? How do you keep in touch with life as it was just over a year ago? Why are touchstones to normalcy so important?
A couple of weeks ago I had this note nearly written when I got word of my dad’s sudden passing. So, as a ‘touchstone to normalcy’, it seems appropriate to pick up where I left off. If you read no further, let me thank you now for your kind words and outpouring of support these past two weeks.
Ya gotta admit, this past year has been anything but ‘business as usual’. Think back, it was just over a year ago that the ominous rumblings coming out of China were confirmed by reports of community spread of something called coronavirus starting in Seattle.

Nous visiterons l’ouverture des bras, ces messagers du cœur, pour déployer nos ailes larges et libres. Ancrés, centrés, déliés, nous pourrons alors goûter la légèreté et l’envol de notre danse, la présence joueuse et habitée à l’instantané et aux transformations. Accueillons la danse à bras le corps et à bras ouverts, déployons notre cage thoracique pour libérer le souffle et le cœur, accordons nos quatre membres pour unifier le haut et le bas. Dansons à tours de bras !

Dance First Member Insight from 5Rhythms leader Lucia Horan
This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight is from Lucia Horan, 5Rhythms leading light and First Family member!
Dear Dancers,
My name is Lucia Horan. I am a movement artist. My medium is emptiness. I work with dancers and movers to teach insight meditation and Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms® dance.
Dancing with adversity, challenge, and change has pushed many of us to our edge. This is a precarious position to be in – but it also provides us with an opportunity we are rarely blessed with. This last year has brought us all to our knees and forced us to move within a new paradigm. As teachers and students, we have had to learn how to adapt to a changing world.
Monday Love to your Dearly Departed
“ Our breath is brief, and being so Let’s make our heaven here below, And lavish kindness as we go.”
~ Robert Service.
If you read last week’s note, you know that my Dear Old Dad headed off to The Last Roundup four days shy of his 94th birthday so I’m up in Oregon with my daughter settling his affairs.
He was a true creature of the Old West, so if you’re so inclined, please listen to my recent Americana and Prairie Crooners mix to understand our family roots.
If you care to delve deeper, give a listen to The Cremation of Sam McGee, Dad’s favorite poem by “The Bard of the Yukon” Robert Service as recited by Hank Snow.
Maybe you have some meaningful words or music that will bring you closer to a dearly departed relative, or better yet with one who has yet to pass.
