In movement, in our dance we practice letting go of holding a shape, controlling outcomes and move towards allowing change, moment to moment, inhale to exhale,

From form, to a formlessness, where movement remains fluid, responsive, and ALIVE!

A practice of listening and receiving.

Coming together in our aliveness as a COMMUNITY to connecting all the way in, and to express all the way out.

Notes for radical living:
Make friends with chaos
Hold a calm mind
Let things shake
Forgive human frailty
Champion second chances
Defy unkindness
Reverence fellowship
Listen to the quiet
Respect the young
Seek growth
Dance daily
Bless the handmade
Sing into pain
Challenge assumptions
Follow the wind
Look upwards
Swoon under clouds
Feel your courage
Be trustworthy
Take care of yourself
Believe in goodness
Head for the light

~ Tilda Swinton

To true, it is all a dance,
From the inside out, and from the outside in, and everywhere in between.
See you Friday.

It’s like a dance. And we have to give each being space to dance their dance. Everything is dancing; even the molecules inside the cells are dancing. But we make our lives so heavy. We have these incredibly heavy burdens we carry with us like rocks in a big rucksack. We think that carrying this big heavy rucksack is our security; we think it grounds us. We don’t realize the freedom, the lightness of just dropping it off, letting it go. That doesn’t mean giving up relationships; it doesn’t mean giving up one’s profession, or one’s family,or one’s home. It has nothing to do with that; it’s not an external change. It’s an internal change. It’s a change from holding on tightly to holding very lightly.

A piece from one of my fav writers, Matt Licata the phrase “the body keeps score”
To listen….
See you next week.

There is a great deal of wisdom in the now-familiar phrase that “the body keeps the score.”

Our bodies carry our histories. They remember what overwhelmed us, what frightened us, what brought pleasure, what required protection. Long before the conceptual mind has figured out what is happening, the body may already be responding—with contraction or expansion, trembling or warmth, an impulse to move toward or pull away.

Learning to listen to these communications, to cultivate a kind of somatic sensitivity, has been an important part of my own life and work for many years.

But the body is not an oracle. Because some of the score was written a very long time ago.

A nervous system shaped in an environment where intimacy carried danger may register closeness as threat. Someone who learned that belonging required self-abandonment may feel intense activation while setting a healthy boundary. What feels expansive and alive may be a movement toward something deeply true—or toward something exquisitely familiar.

None of this means the body is wrong. The contraction is real, the fear is real, the trembling is real. But what the body is responding to may not belong entirely to the present moment. And perhaps this is where somatic sensitivity begins to deepen into somatic discernment.

Listening to the body is not the same as obeying it. Rather than immediately asking, What is my body telling me to do?, we might become curious about another question: What is happening in my body as I am here?

We may not know immediately whether the fear is signaling danger or vulnerability, whether the contraction is asking us to leave or marking a threshold that was once unsafe to cross. And perhaps that not-knowing is part of the practice.

The body is not standing outside our history, offering pure instructions about the life we should live. The body is inside the history.

This is exactly why its communications deserve our attention—not as commandments, but as part of an ongoing conversation between past and present, protection and possibility.

The body knows. But the body knows many things.

Lets unify and communify,
5RHYTHMS 2.10.26

Coming together in DANCE,
Doing what we do in all our
Humanness, however it feels,
And whatever it looks like.
BE YOU! Move YOU!
You Deserve It…….❤️

Surrendering our Expectation, allowing Curiosity to take us to the destination,

Stay open…..

Fluidity is not something we create,

It’s something we stop interrupting…..

Moving within the very network of our being.

Let it move you…..
