Online Series: Body Mapping ~ with Natan Daskal

April 2 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am PDT

| 60$

4 Fridays: April 2, 9, 23 & 30 (no class on April 16), 10-11:30am PDT

Each part of our bodies is unique: each has developed specific functions, moves in particular ways, and has its own stories to tell and dances to dance. In this 4-part series, we focus on a new area of the body each week. For each body part, we study anatomy and body mechanics, we explore its movement somatically, and we allow its wisdom to express through drawing, creative writing, and dance. By exploring our anatomy experientially and artistically, we connect more deeply with our bodies, creativity, and lived experience.

Online Series: Movement Ritual and Dance Explorations: Emerging into Spring ~ with Joy Cosculluela

4 Mondays, April 5 – 26, 10-11:30AM PDT

As spring arrives, we tune in to how movement is shifting and emerging through our bodies. Guided by somatic awareness, we practice Movement Ritual to feel the ground, connect with breath, and find supportive pathways in our bodies to transition from one movement to the other. Through dance explorations, we awaken movement impulses and play with shapes that are emerging. Drawing/ writing enrich our dance experience, nourishing the creative energy inherent in all of us.

4 Thursdays, April 8 – 29, 9:00-10:30am PDT

“Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.” ~ Meister Eckhart

Join us for a 4-week class series and dive into creative inquiries to embody radical presence, develop self-compassion, and unearth your body’s resiliency this Spring.

Online Series: Embracing the Archetype of Queen: Leading ourselves and others artfully ~ with Elisabeth Osgood-Campbell

April 8 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm PDT

| $60

4 Thursdays, April 8 – 29, 4:00-5:30PM, PDT

The archetype of the Queen optimally represents a woman who governs herself and others with maturity, wisdom, dignity, and grace. An aspect of the divine feminine, she is a sovereign, or powerful leader, who works for the well-being of her community. In turn, the Queen is deeply respected and beloved by her community.

Online workshop: Re-Bodying Life: Tamalpa Life/Art Process for Trauma Healing ~ with Dr. Rosario Sammartino

April 11 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT

| $40

Sunday, April 11, 9AM-12PM PDT

Recovering from trauma requires that we recuperate the capacity to inhabit our bodies. The Tamalpa Life/Art Process offers an effective therapeutic model that not only recognizes the body in its full dimension, but also facilitates connection to preverbal and symbolic aspects of self, which are beneficial when working with trauma. The language of the arts provides a world beyond analytical thought and conventional communication, allowing for a path to access and give form to sensations, emotions, memories, and images that may not be able to be expressed solely in everyday language.

Monday Love to your Formative Years

“Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song, and I’ll try not to sing out of key…”

~ Lennon & McCartney

Part one: In which a child recognizes the power mysteriously held within a simple slab of vinyl.

When I was little, my parents had one of those sixties-style all-in-one console stereos. A big piece of furniture with a wooden top that flipped up for the turntable that was inside and doors that opened in front where the albums were stored, with speakers built in on either side. It traveled with us when we moved from Orange County, California to Western Colorado in 1969. My father was very conservative, and music wasn’t a big deal in our family. He played guitar a little bit, and we had a couple books of Americana music with songs like “She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain”

Monday Love to your Cosmic Coincidences

“ Coincidences are spiritual puns.”

~ G.K. Chesterson

“Synchronicity!” she exclaimed. “Oh c’mon, there’s no such thing.” he scoffed. “It’s just a coincidence.” They walked further down the tunnel into the BART station. She pointed at another one of the ads for the museum that featured the exact same typeface that she’d just used on a flyer that very morning.

“I’m telling you, it’s a sign! I was just thinking about Van Gogh and that whole weird thing about his ear while I was working! I was listening to Camper Van Beethoven and you know darn well my van is in the shop. Why in the heck do you think we’re taking BART?” He arched his eyebrow with the side-eye of the skeptic. “Van, Van, van. It’s Van’s all the way down!” She was practically shrieking. “Then we come down here and the whole station is plastered with Van Gogh’s mug on MOMA posters using Bodoni? It’s an omen, it has to be!”

Into the Flow

July 26 - July 31

Ia 5Rhythms dance and holiday festival

When you shift your attention out of your mind into your feet,

flowing funky and free

When you get in contact with your moving body,

breath and beat

When one movement follows out of the previous one,

When you say yes to every step, coming,

One Tribe

July 21 - July 25

“As you walk upon the sacred earth, treat each step as a prayer.“

― Black Elk, Lakota tribe

Meeting again, finding again the simple joy in being with others, listening again to each other, learning from each other, lifting up each other. Every year these One Tribe gatherings give space for meetings. Giving space to being in the presence of each other honestly, genuinely, openly, comfortably. Giving space to dissolving into one big dance, without losing our uniqueness, bringing all our different beautiful colors with us to create one big symphony.

The nature of our feelings

July 11 - July 18

The nature of our feelings

A 5 Rhythms Heartbeat® Retreat (for women)

Why is it so important to our feminine health that our feelings can flow freely?

Fear, anger, grief, joy, compassion are the basic emotions that affect our energy. When you flow freely, they strengthen us, give us energy. If they are suppressed, then our energy goes down and we become vulnerable, maybe sick.

Azul Retreat – Healing Masculine & Feminine (residential)

Azul Retreat – Healing Masculine & Feminine (residential)

September 17 - September 22

One way to describe union is the integrating of the masculine and feminine within us. In our journey towards union we inevitably encounter the ways that these aspects of life force have become distorted and perpetuate destruction in our lives. As we move towards union it is necessary to heal the wounded masculine and feminine energies in us that manifest in our relationship with self and other.

Monday Love to your Mental Miracles

“ Biology gives you a brain. Life turns it into a mind.”

~ Jeffrey Eugenides

Remember your memory? Do you recall the days before cell phones and search engines? How do you keep your mind limber in this age of electronic convenience?

Way back in ancient times (the 1950’s) phones were connected to something called an ‘exchange’. It was a central local office that could handle around 10,000 numbers. Your exchange would have a name, typically your neighborhood, so your individual phone number would start with the first two or three letters of the exchange, followed by four digits.

Azul Class & Workshop – Awakening Embodiment NEW

Embodiment is allowing our heart, mind, and body to exist as one miraculous skin

The word embodiment points us towards the relation with our physical body and – most important – with our bodies capacity to feel.

The body is equipped with an autonomous function that supports our life without our consciousness having to drive it. This function is regulated by the autonomic nervous system. The body also has a more subtle function connected to our consciousness, that is to feel what is happening. Feeling is what informs our responses, our movements and facilitates digesting the emotional content of our lives.

Azul Trilogy – Integrating Lower and Higher Self

Azul Workshop – Power of Yes NEW

May 14 - May 16

Neuroscience is telling us that when we can embody the emotional state of YES we open a channel for what we desire to manifest. There is something that happens when we embody YES that creates new pathways and possibilities. Embodying YES is a process of opening our hearts.

Online Series: Access and Activate: A Performance Workshop ~ with Joy Cosculluela

March 8 @ 10:00 am - March 29 @ 12:00 pm PST

| $80

In this workshop series we will explore creative pathways to embody vitality. We’ll deepen our movement awareness and expressiveness, and we’ll use performance as a portal to activate our sense of aliveness and presence, and to generate images of renewal. Through the lens of the Life/Art Process, we’ll begin by tuning in to bodily sensations and journey outward by developing our range of movement. Weaving in our imagination, we’ll explore dances of our bones, nerves, and hearts as inspiration for performance. Along the way, we’ll share mini-performances where we witness and are witnessed by others.

Dance First Member Insight from Banafsheh, creator of Dance of Oneness

This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight is from Banafsheh, creator of Dance of Oneness!

Dear dancers,

Despite all the tragedies and losses, the pandemic has simultaneously brought a new level of expansiveness and intimacy with self and others. It has also given us a new appreciation for the power of dance.

Our dancing communities are reaching people world-wide thanks to Zoom. No longer limited by barriers of finance, time, and space, dancers from all over the globe can join our Dance of Oneness community – as well as the other dance communities facilitators have been so liberally sharing with us in Monday Love emails. As we expand our reach, our world feels smaller, more intimate, and within our grasp. We can’t touch each other in person, but we are touching one another across space in ways that truly transform us. I am blown away again and again by the level of intimacy and depth we are able to reach on Zoom. Like many, I would have never believed this pre-pandemic. All my teaching was in person before April 2020.

Monday Love to your Source of Simplicity

“ Living simply makes loving simple.”

~ bell hooks

Do you practice ‘spring cleaning’? Which is easier for you: accumulating things or clearing stuff out? When it comes to stuff, just how much is enough?

Well, it must be something about the bright rays of sunshine and the lengthening days that light a fire under folks to tackle cleanup projects big and small. Entropy and inertia are fundamentally related, it’s one of those pesky laws of nature that makes it so that when you set something down somewhere it stubbornly stays there until something comes along to move it.

Pray * DANCE * ALOHA: “SEED PLANTER”

Pray Dance Aloha: “Seed Planter”

Honouring the New Moon through danced prayer. Using hula, worship, and Polynesian fusion, we will become the Divine SEED, plant ourselves, be nurtured by God’s instruction, and grow with expectancy for a heavenly harvest! Dance & Faith commingle in this very important movement container.
