$5-10 sliding ( mali's travel fund : )*~ Please bring flowers for our Beltane Flower Alter ~*I whole heartedly invite you to come *DROP IN* to your feeling bodies and explore your unique dance ~ uninhibited and uninstructed. Lately ~ I have been walking away from the dances feeling pain in my body because I have left my center to accomodate my dance partner or gone into wild dancing with no regard of whether my body wanted that (let the music drive me). Once again I am reining it in. Inspired by my recent studies of Crainiosacral Therapy, my renewed inquiry for my dance is to feel into the deeper rhythms happening in my body; fluids flowing, bones breathing, chi expanding and contracting and following those rhythms with loving attention, with Metta. When we can be THAT attentive to our internal dances and gently mirror and accentuate those movements in our external expressions of dancing I believe this can be a healing art form, Medicinal Dancing. This week I dedicate the dance to this inquiry. Blindfolds will be provided as a sensitivity tool. Beautiful music will be provided for your sensual pleasure but the music is not designed to be the driving force behind your dance- YOU ARE you beautiful and unique mover and shaker!Happy Beltane! I suppose the way I am choosing to celebrate this bursting forth fertility festival is through the teaching of ~ contain your power ~ don't spill your seed. YES! we are flowering quickly now, pay attention to how you are integrating this pulse between the internal and external, tap into the speed and rhythm of that unfurling and dance that.Spreading love like wildflower seeds over this fertile valley,MaliYour hand opens and closesand opens and closesif it were always a fistor always stretched openyou would be paralyzed;your deepest presence is inevery small contracting and expandingthe two as beautifully balanced and co-ordinatedas bird wings.-Rumi
