The Way of the Pilgrim

 


May 31 - June 2

There is no way to happiness – happiness is the Way” Buddha

We put one foot in front of other and take a step.
Within the incredibly rich diversity of experience that happens on a dance floor, there’s really only one thing going on. An essence of alive, loving, consciously creative energy that just IS.
Around that, we move, breathe, and give attention, in the company of fellow travellers who help us feel deeper and see further.

Grappling with a Luminous Doom

 


November 9 @ 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

| $108.00

Join us for a day of furious dancing, feeling, deep listening,
and aimless play so we can transform our heartache, despair, rage, terror, confusion, not knowing [___________] [fill in the blanks] into “something better:” a luminous openness that has space for all of this wild, wicked, wondrous life.

Do you notice sometimes, especially after some deep, connected, expressive dancing, how the darkness that surrounds us, so vast and dense, seems lit from within by a luminous glow?

How buried at the heart of pain lies the portal to unexpected spaciousness of love?

Monday Love to your Wings of Wonder

 

“ The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

 ~ W.B. Yeats

What do you love most about travel? Is it the perspective you get from experiencing different cultures? Sampling exotic and delicious foreign cuisines? Perhaps the change of scenery is enough for you.

I say yes to all of the above and more, but for me there’s one part of the experience that holds a special spot in my heart. There’s nothing that guarantees a full measure of the sense of awe like getting on an airplane. Yep, you heard me right. I’m that one-in-a-million person who actually loves to fly.

Watching these massive machines slowly pirouette on the tarmac is like witnessing a ballet of behemoths. Together with their tiny attendants scurrying around to service their needs, they perform a dance of details that culminate in a miracle.

Myths are timeless and so is our soul. The Greek goddess Demeter is an archetypal mother figure that must be reimagined if we are to embody her cyclic wisdom, reclaim her courage, and harness her healing energies. Demeter’s journey is multifaceted: from bliss to loss, from grief to despair, from contemptment to anger, and from victimhood to empowerment.
