This FREE session is offered every Wednesday morning, and led by Zuza or another facilitator. It is attended by a diverse group of people, some of whom have practiced conscious movement for years, while some ~ never before.
a lightly facilitated half hour dance to help us get through the week
You can also lie down and enjoy the ambience (and excellent company).
30 minutes of dance plus 5–10 minutes schmoozing time at the end, entirely optional - only if you want to stay.
Light guidance is offered as part of every week’s session but it is mostly music so we can all dance.
Because of the private and potentially vulnerable nature of the practice our request is that you have your camera on (even if you are not in the frame).
You can follow the inquiry offered or invent your own. Explore, experiment, express.
You can move with the music or away from it, fast or slow or not at all.
I know the voice of depression still calls to you.
I know those habits that can ruin your life still send their invitations.
But you are with the Friend here.
Now, sweet one,
Be wise.

This practice allows me to move through many layers of emotion and states of being, in the end always connecting me with my heart and the heart of the community. It is a very profound experience for me – to have my heart opened and witnessed by so many.

The practice has allowed me to be more present in my work and at home. I’ve learned to observe more and speak less in relationship with my teenagers. I drop into the moment and feel my body which allows me to respond, rather than react.

We move to an eclectic mix of music from classical to experimental, including sacred chant, world beat, rock and roll, opera remixes, jazz and contemporary electronica. Music arrangements are in-out-in-out sequences to invite awareness and presence in the moment. Slow passages are also included.
Anyway – you dance your own dance, Adorable One, and the music will catch up with you.
Our short movement practice changes and charges my whole week. I never imagined that I could feel so connected to everyone across the time and distance – on zoom!
RISA DIAZ, YEARLONG PARTICIPANT
I come here to move, find myself, feel deep places within. Whether frustrated, sad, worried, joyous, happy, angry, pained or free, all of it is possible to feel and love and express. I feel, sense, intuit, relate, grow, communicate.
- Debra Schubert – Movement Therapist and Bodyworker
Habits, patterns, emotion in motion: through the invitation to move, what was stuck in me finds a way out. An opportunity to be with others on the move, rough and smooth. It helps create a little something to carry on into regular life, even to give to others.
- Mark Bauman – Bodywork Therapist and Movement Awareness Educator
This dance allows me to drop away from myself into a state of being that is pure impulse, presence and flow, then connect with others from this place of resonance with a bigger presence in the world.
- Susan McDaniel – Healing Artist
I have learned to accept that everyone has their own dance. The practice teaches in such a literal way that there is an ebb and flow to all of life, all situations.
Patience, acceptance, inclusion.
