The International Association for Creative Dance presents “Dancing the Winds of Change” at Hampshire College, Amherst, MA
Intro Workshop June 22-23
Dance Congress June 23-28
“How do you make a dance?
You let one movement grow out of another with your whole self in it. And
the more your body, your emotions, your mind, your spirit are all
integrated in it, the more alive it will be, the more meaning it will
have.” ~ Barbara Mettler
Do you ever catch yourself indulging in black and white thinking? Have you sometimes fallen into the trap of binary logic? What kind of life does one have if everything is a zero-sum game?
Saturday Zoom Dances
IACD sponsors a dance every Saturday on Zoom! Friends from around the United States and the world come together for movement. This is an open dance for anyone…no experience is necessary! We usually meet at 10:00 am, Pacific Standard Time. If you have questions or would like the Zoom link to the dance session, please contact Sue Biggs at sbiggs@gci.net. Sue sends out the invites. If you know someone who would like to be put on the list for the Zoom invitation, let her know.

You have a limit. Everyone does. If you’re reasonably lucky, and keep your wits about you, you shouldn’t get pushed to there too often. But despite your best laid plans, your good karma, and your better instincts, once in a while life will place you in a situation where you have no control. In other words, sometimes your patience will be put to the test. When that happens, what do you do?
When your patience is tested, it’s easy to start losing things. Your cool, for instance. When it starts to go, you might find your temper replacing it. But anger is like a blunt hammer that rarely hits the nail on the head. You’re more likely to wind up with a sore thumb instead.
Join a global community of dancers in a guided movement experience with Amara on Saturday September 5 (September 6 for Australia).
In this 1.5h Live online class we will focus on various aspects of the Azul spiral and explore them in the dance.
We write to invite, to entice, and to beckon you to join us for our inaugural program in Hamburg, offering a modular training in Touching Essence™, a multi-cultural, multi-sensory, neo-shamanic approach to healing through Touch. Using our map of the 8 chakras, our map of 12 meridians, 34 specifically selected essential oils, and Nada (sound) yoga, mantra and song, we practice the laying on of hands in support of energetic, physical, emotional, spiritual and soul connection and healing. We focus, in the physical touch arena, in supporting release of old, welcoming new and opening to experiencing the pleasure of safe and skilled touch.
Two complementary practices, one anchored in embodied structured rhythms, and the other in the spontaneity of movement improvisation, share a common foundation in the profound art of presence. Combined, they serve as a potent catalyst, inviting participants to delve deep into the intricacies of their learning process, unravel the impediments to personal and creative evolution, and open a pathway to heightened states of inspiration and creativity.
Relating to others — whether friends, lovers, enemies or colleagues — we get to find out how far we’ve come. It’s all very well to be enlightened sitting alone on a mountain top meditating, but . . .
Relationships drag us into the heart: not the fantasy-nice emoticon-heart, but the ragged realities we actually have going on, where we’ll often be found avoiding intimacy, denying the truth, and blaming someone else for our experience.
Remember Sisyphus? Apparently, this famous figure from Greek mythology was something of a bad dude. He had the horrible habit of killing his visitors just to show off his power. The gods thought this was bad manners at the very least, going against their sacred traditions of hospitality. So they punished him with the gift of a heavy boulder that he was to push to the top of a mountain, only to have it roll to the bottom, over and over, for all eternity.
