A L C H E M Y – A Series of Movement Medicine Journeys
The A L C H E M
Y sessions invites you to embark on a series of immersive Movement
Medicine journeys – gateways into experiencing the transformative and
healing power of intentional movement practice.
In these changing times on our beloved planet, and as we move toward the colder, darker part of the year – gathering in community and dancing our prayers – feels like good medicine. A nourishing environment to open to the wisdom of the moving body.
Rooted in the Heart
October 7 @ 1:00 pm - October 9 @ 9:00 pm
A Movement Medicine 3 day workshop, residential, at the magical Temple of the Earth, in Aljezur, Portugal.
During 3 full
days, we will move, share, resource, connect with the elements within
and all around, giving space to whatever is moving inside our hearts.
Using the Elements map, we will explore and move with Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Ether:
Earth welcomes slowing down, resting deeply, finding safety and
nourishment again in our own bodies, as well as strength and support.

Dance First Spotlight on Phoenix OneSong & Dancing Freedom’s Soul Quest Facilitator Journey!!
This week’s Dance First Spotlight is on Phoenix OneSong & Dancing Freedom!
The Mythic Body
I recently came out of a week-long immersion with one of my teachers, Josh Shrei, who hosts “The Emerald” podcast. After studying with him for 10 months, online, 20 of us welcomed him and his family from the US and came together to enter into the fairy grove of fern, moss, banksia, tea tree and eucalyptus along the South East Pacific Coast of Australia.
The invitation was to become still, listen and to allow the animist forces of nature to move and welcome us into the mysteries of myth, ritual and storytelling.
Monday Love to your Response and Abilities
“ Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself.”
~ Jean-Paul Sartre
Everyone has them. Not everyone likes them. You can’t escape them. You may as well make the best of them.
What might I be talking about? Responsibilities, of course! But what does that actually mean? Let’s unpack that word a little bit.
On the face of it, it’s all those things like rent or mortgage payment, getting the kids to school, and making sure the bills are paid. You can be responsible for other people, you can be responsible for objects or property, or you can be responsible for getting things done.

Evolution
Evolution
October 14 - October 16
These are wild times.
We’re not just on the edge, we’re off the edge and falling.
We are being called, cajoled and catapulted into new ways of being that require us to let go of our fixed ideas of what we thought we knew. We can sense it. There’s something going on.

Monday Love to You and Your EQ
“ So many books, so little time.”
~ Frank Zappa
I’ll bet you like to think of yourself as intelligent, right? Well, sure, I would imagine that everyone does. So let’s break that word down a little bit, what does intelligence really mean?
To begin with, in our linear left-brain-oriented Western way of thinking, we are all assigned a number early on. That being the quotient of your intelligence, more commonly known as your IQ. The idea that a certain standardized set of measurements can be applied early on to categorize us for life seems suspect, but here we are.
Then you’ve got the type of intelligence that is gained through experience, sometimes referred to as “street smarts” that are learned through attending what is commonly known as “The School of Hard Knocks.”
There’s intelligence gained by experience, insight received in a flash, and lessons pounded into your head. But when it comes to simply getting along well in the world, there’s a form of intelligence we often forget about.

Re-Creation
Re-Creation
November 21 - November 27
Movement, plant medicine and inquiry
Combining the diagnostic tools of Body Mapping and transformational movement work, together with medicinal plant therapy. We will also gain insights via family constellation work with horses and compassionate inquiry.
Truth
Truth
October 21 - October 23
Not abstract truth such as Love is All, not the truth of stories about what we have lived through, but specific, personal, in-the-present truth such as ‘My heart is breaking’, or ‘I love you’, or ‘I am shy with you right now’.
Polarity
Masculine and feminine, light and dark, pain and pleasure . . . Yes, on one level we’re all one, but our human reality is more often a dance of polarities — in and out, up and down, like it or not.

Dance First Member Spotlight on Tamalpa – with Special Insight from Sophia Ali!
This week’s Dance First Spotlight is on Tamalpa – with a special insight from Sophia Ali on completing Level 1 Training!
My level 1 journey made me dive into the work that Tamalpa offers. Learning from highly experienced professionals and enthusiastic batchmates out here, helped me open my horizons.
I was aware of my movement expression earlier, but here I explored my verbal expression and my voice with movement. It was beautiful to notice how my nonverbal expression holds hands with my verbal words, voice and movement. Words and voice weren’t present before but I found it now. I was scared to speak in front of people of authority; putting my views forward I was doubting myself, doubting my abilities, doubting my qualification and my skills.
Monday Love to your Progress and Permanence
“ The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
~ Alan Watts
Some things never change, right? Then again, conventional wisdom says that the only thing constant is change.
So which is it? What’s the difference? How do we draw the line between the immutable and the fluid?
A better way to look at it might be to think about what sort of things can change and what sort of things can’t? In other words, things that aren’t things, such as the laws of physics or the mysteries of consciousness may actually be fixed and permanent, while anything with physical properties, no matter how static they may seem, are in fact subject to change.

T A K E ~ H E A R T
~ what if Fear were a true-blue friend – pricking our skin in the presence of danger – holding us close and moving us from harm’s way and tucking us in tight and urging us to preserve the safety of what we hold most dear?
~ what if Anger were a sure fire sign that we still give a shit – that some things have gone too far – that we might be willing to make a move or draw a line or risk reaching out or stepping up or speaking true on behalf of what we love?
Deploiement / Deployment
Soft and Strong
Soft and Strong
October 1 - October 2
“There is always the contradiction, the tangle, the knot of attempting to understand that, which can only be embodied.” (Q’uo)
We all have our relationship with ‘soft and strong’, ‘gentle and powerful’, ‘compassionate and fierce’, ‘pushing and being pulled’.

All Is Full Of Love

Dance First Member Spotlight on Sofiah Thom and the Temple Body Arts Mystery School!
This week’s Dance First Spotlight is on Sofiah Thom and the Temple Body Arts Mystery School – Happening Virtually TOMORROW!
We are dancing along an evolutionary path of remembrance as the world around us continues to shift and change, calling us to rise.
So many of us have found ourselves in recent years, no longer comfortable in the lives we’ve created, yearning and seeking more depth, connection, expression, and meaning.
Each seeker moves to the beat of their drum, dancing to feel at home in their body and the world around them- Our Dance is sacred and has the power to help us both heal and transform not only ourselves but the entire collective.
Monday Love to your Element of Engagement
“ A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”
~ John Lennon
What’s more important? Audience size, or engagement?
I know a lot of you on this list are self-promoters or entrepreneurs of some sort or another. You’ve got something to offer, be it a class or a workshop or a training or even a product or artistic creation.
Somehow I seem to be surrounded by folks like you, and I find myself having conversations fairly often about what works and what doesn’t in today’s saturated social media environment.
