As we fall together into this time of trouble and transformation, what is your contribution to the collective?
This will be a highly focussed movement-based workshop designed to bring dreams to earth and empower choices ahead that impact yourself and your people in service to our world.
A weekly group experience of movement, presence and enquiry. Simple steps to encourage empowerment, connection and community.
Moving Paths is a connection builder, within ourselves and between each other. It’s local, small-scale, real, sometimes messy and confronting, often deeply moving. Much like love.
This week’s Dance First Insight is from Moti Zemelman & Contact Improv!
9th annual Contact Improv Retreat in Costa Rica w/ Moti: Feb 11-18, 2023 @ The Goddess Garden Yoga Resort – Cahuita, Costa Rica.
Contact Improvisation has continued to be an anchor for me during these challenging pandemic years. Having a regular practice that is about connection, relaxation and joy is key to living a healthy meaningful life. I’m inspired by the idea of having pleasure and willpower be a regular part of my movement practice. Feeling the pleasure of each micro-movement, the sensation of air on skin, leaves crunching under my feet, the delight of seeing my dance partner laughing as they slide down to the ground using my stable torso and limbs. This pleasure is one of our biggest resources.
If society is like the house we live in, what makes up the timber in the walls?
While we are all going about our lives in the various rooms of our societal abode, doing things like making a living, getting educated, starting businesses, or having fun, a network of support systems and guard rails sits just beneath the surface, so ubiquitous that we take them for granted and tend to forget they are there.
In a well-functioning society, the joists, studs, and rafters that keep our world together have a bland and boring name: Institutions.

Prendiamoci il tempo per integrare mente e corpo, desideri e bisogni, spirito e materia. Un vero processo di Vision Board fra creatività , mindset e danza per fare il punto dell’anno appena trascorso e costruire uno strumento che ci farà da guida e ispirazione per tutto l’anno a venire.
The Beginning of a new year is a good time to pause, look back at what was, see what is now and set out intentions, hopes, wishes and dreams for 2023.
We will use the 5Rhythms movement practice to let go of the old year from the year gone by…
To appreciate what is valuable in our lives in the present.
To creating dreams of intention for the year ahead.
To tap into our creativity and move with awareness we will use collage making and writing to awaken our creative impulses.
As winter approaches, our energy begins to draw inwards and we are often called to return to home base, to sit at our own Hearth, and to tend to our inner fire.
This three-part series is an opportunity to stir, explore, and embody the natural movement and intelligence of our hearts – to gather with others in a committed group and to be warmed, enlivened, and encouraged by what we may discover, witness, and share.
