via • @amaleyaosei Movement is a way of life.
A sacred journey.
A journey back to self.
An honouring of Self, Earth and Spirit.
A portal of divine connection 🕊️
Moving with the elements.
The gateway to release and receive.
The gateway to sacred union and communication.

An embodied prayer.
An embodied awakening🌀

Today is International 𝓐𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓷𝓽𝓲𝓬 𝓜𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽 Day! 🍃🪟 🕯️

This day is celebrated annually on October 4th to honor the birth anniversary of Mary Starks Whitehouse, a pioneer who laid the foundation for the practice.

via • @juliasahasra WHAT MAKES DANCE SACRED? An Anthropology of Sacred Movement
Across cultures, dance has existed far beyond entertainment.
It has accompanied prayer, initiation, mourning, healing, celebration, possession and encounters with the divine.
But movement itself is not inherently sacred.
A gesture can be ordinary in one context and carry profound meaning in another. What changes is the world around it: the place, the rhythm, the people, the intention, the belief, the ritual.
Perhaps sacredness does not live in the movement itself, but in the relationships and meanings created through it.
A body can simply move. Or movement can become an offering, a prayer, a passage - a way of reaching toward something beyond the individual self.
So what makes a dance sacred: the movement, the meaning, or the belief behind it?

How Ancient Worlds Live Within Us - 019 Notes on movement, ritual & the making of the sacred.

We had such a lovely weekend diving into the body with @kristinafluty for Experiential Anatomy & Kinesiology!

This was after releasing the shoulders & feeling the connection of the shoulder girdle all the way out into our wing 🪽 span / fingertips. Bodies are so cool 😎

September is here & our cohorts are formed for both AR-DMT & TDC routes. We are so excited to have a curious, dedicated, & talented group of students this year.

Thanks to all who joined us! Stay tuned for more class announcements & updates.
