Happy summer! As the days shine longer and brighter here in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re reminded how we can turn up our radiance to shine into every corner of our lives, no matter what is happening around us.
What a perfect time to come together this Saturday to celebrate the Summer Solstice at 10am Pacific for our TranscenDance™ for a Lighter-Brighter You Live Virtual Class — and it’s also our first class of the summer!
Broad Stage Theater, Santa Monica, CA
Thursday, June 29 @7:30pm PT
An evening showcasing the untold story of an ancient culture through dance and music. The White Feather tells the story of the Iranian National Ballet, and the freedom fighters of Iran. In 1979, Iranian dancers had their art and freedom stripped away from them, and their final bows were never taken. Since then, the cries for freedom of expression has never stopped.

What color is consciousness? Does it have a texture? Is it something that you can see, touch, hold, or even describe? When it comes to something as ineffable as consciousness, is it possible to even put our finger on it?
One might say that some people are born with a higher level of it, but that would be to assume that we aren’t all born with the same spark, which is a dangerous assumption, indeed.
Consciousness is amorphous in many ways. It can expand and overlap far beyond the individual. Families, romantic partnerships, businesses, groups, and organizations can all find themselves functioning along a shared baseline of consciousness.
One might say that consciousness rubs off on us in a way. If we are to assume that we enter this world as tabula rasa, then consciousness is shaped as we mature.
We are influenced at every moment by our environment in our formative years, for better or worse. From the family unit to national customs, we learn how the world works from our own point of view and how it is we will engage with it.
June 12, 19, and 26 | 10 am – 11:30 am Pacific Time | Cost: $55/series
What would you like to light up in your creative practice? Join us this time of the year to spark your creative fire and connect to your sense of lightness.
We’ll use Anna Halprin’s Movement Ritual & Dance Explorations as somatic resource to relax, guide, and energize our expressive bodies. We’ll explore letting go of unnecessary tension, finding support, and sensing how movement travels through the body. We can discover how lightening up makes room for creativity. In the last session, we’ll interact with our drawings and writings and give voice to what wants to come forward. All are welcome!
