Activate & Settle

Activate:
This is the ability to connect with an impulse to move, allow the movement to gather momentum, energy and intensity, and allow our physical, cognitive and emotional systems to reach states of intense arousal. To activate is literally to excite and ignite ourselves, to take action for ourselves, in a relationship, or in the world. To learn the skills of activation is to build, tolerate and benefit from powerful movement both inside and out.

Settle:
The ability to calm our physical, cognitive and emotional systems, to stabilize our breath, slow down the pulse, find our ground and center, and come to rest. Without the skills to settle ourselves, we can get lost or injured in our wild dance. Without the skills to settle in life we may lose presence under fire, or find ourselves unable to rest peacefully between waves of activity.

A time to move, a time to free the body, to enliven the senses as well as listen to them. This is sacred dance time, where you get to be yourself and do the dance that no one else can, where your movement heals and reveals, the breath becomes fluid and the soul rejoices.

Each week we follow the Open Floor Movement Practice but are not limited by it so we may try other tools to get us into a vibrant, juicy dance. The dance may be on your own or with others or all together with the whole room in a pumping, jumping frenzy! Though this is not an ecstatic dance, there surely will be moments of ecstasy and if you are open and willing to try the subtle dance of inquiry then each moment becomes ecstasy.

Dance how ever you wish, we'll guide you to begin with an exercise or two based on the evening's CMR (Core Movement Resource) then feel free to explore this further in your own way and how ever it turns up for you.

We dance mid week because it fills our cup, we dance for release, healing, pleasure and grounding but most of all because it reminds us of who we really are, and that can not be written or drawn, it is felt.

Door open 6:15pm, this is precious warm up time, lovely music will help you settle into the space.

Doors close at 6:30 no entry after then, guidance begins setting the evenings movement resource.
