2026 Autumn Message

We are surrounded by golden light.
The trees radiate multi-coloured swaths of leaves embracing their branches like elegant shawls.

In Silence…
We feel the rhythm of our breath rising and falling.
Beneath this pattern we can feel the rhythm of the earth.
We can rest into the voices of the earth, rest into our mother.
Soothed by her songs, we become the songs, each with our own melody.

As I move further into my elder years, I find myself called to let go teaching in the next year.
Though saddened by this transition, I feel new songs and dances rising through my body which want to be shared.
More than this remains a mystery.

I invite you to join me this fall as you explore your own processes of surrender and transition while you release and receive…
I invite you to rest in a quiet space long enough to feel your breath rising and falling…
I invite you to feel the soft pressure of your belly, the gentle dance of your heart, the pulsing life vibrations streaming through your body as you yield into the earth’s embrace, as you yield into her song…
I invite you to dance this song with your whole being….

Authentic Movement

In this introduction participants will learn the form of Authentic Movement. They will explore the roles of mover and witness to gain a deeper understanding and acceptance of their embodied experience in all areas of their lives.

Ancient Ritual Body Postures and Moving Prayer

Moving with spirit

Learn to journey to the realms of Non-ordinary Reality using Ancient Ritual Body Postures and integrate the teachings of spirit into conscious awareness with Authentic Movement and Sacred Dance. Discovered by anthropologist Felicitas Goodman, Ancient Ritual Body Postures are a sacred technology used by our elders thousands of years ago to commune with the world of spirit for healing, divination, and ritual celebration. Now, to regain access to these realms, practitioners hold a posture from an early indigenous culture, accompanied by drum or rattle, and enter a visionary trance state. In this workshop, we will explore both practices to connect with our ancient roots and the guidance of spirit. Transformed by these gifts, we will feel our place in the web of life and a compassionate acceptance of all being.
