"We Kept it STRICTLY SPIRITUAL"

my prayer book: Ellen Langer's Mindfulness and The Power of Mindful Learning

my Sunday morning mass: Contact Improvisation Jam

EARTHDANCE excavations

Open heart discover and cultivate

Sub culture of dancers and non dancers

Felt like a girl and scared

Earthdance 12/29

Stranger in a strange land, new experiences, new energies, novel, navigating newness

At first: judgy mnt... Self preservation, broad strokes turn to more subtle inspections, challenges your way of being when dorming w others,

Intentional community

Dance is a social currency

Holding space- what r u holding space for 

I love watching you dance

Women's circle 

You don't know unless you really do it, can't talk shit unless do it 

I came here to remember

Forget to remember

Leonard Cohen on reading a poem

Contact improv is really not fun if you have gas/constipation/bloating/need to go poop, it can be a score, but not really fun 

Even at these gatherings, we are playing a role, a role to be earthdancy, but it's all our hats, what are you not showing? If you seem like you are showing everything still, what are you not showing...

I want more

(Tears)

I feel that I don't hold space to love the way I want, give love the way I want 

You are beautiful tshirt 

I wonder if you are ever matched in the way that you dance/are

You are beautiful

More!

Gender, cruising

Metaphor explore the metaphor of contact to life, To relationships

Brian: your spirit does not match your wedge. You are alive and not where you are at

Levi: your dancing  like I wonder if you ever found your match and what that would look

Finding an energy that you like and going to it and sitting with it, play with it and go away from the one that you don't want at that time

No use of feeling neg of any kind, do the change if can or let go, learn and move on-forward 

Hold space for the positivity

Everything from love, everything with love.

When I go to battle, my weapon of choice will be cupid's bow and arrow.
