Invitation: The Greening Within

Hundreds of years ago, the beginning of Spring and the New Year were honored around this time. This time served as a turning point for the seasons and signaled the onset of changes in weather as the elements of Winter sometimes clashed with the coming Spring. It was a time in which the land was turning towards warmth, and with it, towards new life. The greening, the spark of new life, was awakening.

For this dance, the invitation is for us to work with this natural cycle of awakening—noting what landscapes within us are coming to life again. As Winter relinquishes the pause within us, let’s turn our bodies, minds, and spirits towards the subtle warmth calling us into connection and growth. May you discover the ‘greening within’ and move it into this new year, new cycle.

Lanie McKeever is a visionary empath, mystic artist, fledgling music weaver, and lover of enchantment, currently residing in Asheville, NC. Finding ecstatic dance in 2014, she has been moving and ‘moved’ by the healing power of voices, rhythms, and music ever since. She is grateful to explore ecstatic dance with Asheville Movement Collective.
