SUMMARY:Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Image by Aaron Burden \nAwakening\nSunday\, March 31st\n\nFacilitator: Marta Martín\n  \nWe can smile\, breathe\, walk\, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live\, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma\, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job\, a car\, a house\, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment\, the only moment there is for us to be alive. Every breath we take\, every step we make\, can be filled with peace\, joy\, and serenity. We need only to be awake\, alive in the present moment.\n— Thích Nhất Hạnh

SUMMARY:Like a Lamb
DESCRIPTION:Like a Lamb\nFriday\, March 29th \nGuest DJ: Mountaine Jonas\nSupporting Facilitator: Marta Martín \nSome say that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. Some speak of paradise as being the place where the lion lies down with the lamb. Some say we are dancing on Good Friday. Some say that dancing on a Friday is always Good! \nAccording to the Farmer’s Almanac\, old-timers believed in a balance of weather\, so if the weather at the start of March was “bad” (like a roaring lion)\, the month should end with “good” weather (gentle\, like a lamb). \nAnd what is real? \nOne thing we know for sure. April Fool’s Day can’t happen until the first of April. No fooling!

SUMMARY:Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:Gratitude\nSunday\, March 24th\n\nFacilitator: Rory Jagdeo \nGratitude is not a passive response to something we have been given\, gratitude arises from paying attention\, from being awake in the presence of everything that lives within and without us. Gratitude is not necessarily something that shown after the event\, it is the deep\, a priori state of attention that shows we understand and are equal to the gifted nature of life.  \n— David Whyte

SUMMARY:Opening - Warren Wilson College Morris Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:Opening @Warren Wilson College Morris Pavilion (Bryson Gym if it’s raining)\nFriday\, March 22nd\nFacilitator: Lanie McKeever Anderson \nBe Opened By the Strange!\nBe Opened By the Wonderful!\nBe Opened to the Sweetness of your Soul!\nAll Hail to the Tides of March\nand the Blessings of Spring! \nFor this dance\, the invitation is to drop into the energy of Spring and what that means for you and your body. Maybe this is still a time of slowness\, gentleness\, or even an opening\, an awakening\, a stretching–gently pushing\, still close to the ground–smelling the warming earth\, roots drinking in nutrients and water. Maybe it is a time of feeling the first shoots of energy and aliveness and possibility. Maybe you are fully ready to pulse\, arch\, and bloom into creation. Whatever you are feeling\, whatever your body needs\, come dance this wave in community at Warren Wilson\, with the wheeling stars and promise of opening and newness in the air. \nLanie’s ecstatic dance mixes: https://soundcloud.com/rainbowdragonheart

SUMMARY:Emptiness
DESCRIPTION:Emptiness\nFriday\, March 15th\n\nGuest DJ: Infinite-C (Courtney Towle)\nSupporting Facilitator: Cat Hay \nAs we dip into a waxing crescent moon and a sip away from an upcoming Spring Equinox\, I invite you to taste a lil emptiness… \nWe live in a world that constantly has us taking on information and demands quite a bit of our attention. Our mind\, our prana\, life force…. \nEven some of our spiritual practices can have us reflecting on what to let go of\, what our Hearts song dreams to manifest\, and so on so on… \nSo like a breath of fresh air before Spring kicks off…we have the opportunity to taste the fragrance of our Pure “Bee~ing” as the intention is set to let all intentions go for a moment. \nEven in manifesting we are taught the power of letting it go for it to come into fruition. And even when we want to break a pattern or shed an old skin… we have to reach a state of not activating the thoughts that pertain to that subject ~ Or begin to anyways… to lessen the pull\, the hold\, that any given object/subject has on our mind\, (life force). \nBy allowing a little “space”…. And creating an intention to be empty…to have a Gorgeous moment of not filling ourselves up we can experience a bliss and a kiss…get a feel for who we truly are… in this emptiness… when all the clothes we have covered ourselves with ~ in our mind ~ are let go of…. During a journey in the sound ~ our dance becomes the meditation…the retreat that takes us on a dive into Infinite Consciousness… \nSo I invite you to leave everything\, cling to nothing\, for a few moments. For the Pure Self has no expectations\, nothing to wait for\, nothing to gain\, nothing to lose\, nothing to become\, nothing to manipulate. \nAll that arises…all that comes and goes in life are like clouds…and though these things are experienced through you ~ you are infinite space…Pure awareness. \nAllow a little emptiness…stay as awareness only…see what happens… \nthis my Beloved friends…can water you in miraculous ways…🌱 and your entire being now resonating at such a vibration with some stillness in the mind ripples out to all our Brothers & Sisters and Momma Earth ~ welcome in the gift and opportunity to just be…empty. Pure awareness. Pure space…. \nYou are more than just a mere drop in this one ocean of a dance…you are the entire ocean…and We are One Song… \nHonored to witness and join you Beloveds in this deep dive as we cling to nothing yet experience our Oneness… we are Pure Consciousness in human form and I’m Grateful to have this invitation to experience us dancing in this Knowing as its fruits are sure to be showing\, glowing\, and a growing long after such a dance has commenced. \nLove Eternal\, \n🙏🏼♾️🌊💓 \nBio: MultiGenre DJ ~ My mixes usually occur in a sorta “wave” fashion with moments to breathe…dip into a journey…chill…build up to get down…throw down…and well…all the feels…no limits…Infinite~C is a multi genre dj using intention\, healing through sound ~ A path that started with a guitar and traveling with Elders from the East & the West leading Kirtan and Ecstatic dance lead to a mobile sonic temple where dark techno\, high energy raves vibes can meet tribal bass and trap with full permission 😉 Infinite~C gives each listener full permission to feel every single flavor of emotion and dance our Hearts IN dedicating the dance for Self~Empowerment & then as we move as ONE we lift up the Healing energy & send it out to Ignite a Light for our Mother Earth & the rest of the World. ❤️ \nLink to SoundCloud: https://on.soundcloud.com/wFfTSx7XUn9eiMmh6

SUMMARY:Dream Within a Dream (Spring Forward)
DESCRIPTION:Dream Within a Dream\nSunday\, March 10th\n\nFacilitator: Cat Hay\n\nTake this kiss upon the brow!\nAnd\, in parting from you now\,\nThus much let me avow-\nYou are not wrong\, who deem\nThat my days have been a dream;\nYet if hope has flown away\nIn a night\, or in a day\,\nIn a vision\, or in none\,\nIs it therefore the less gone?\nAll that we see or seem\nIs but a dream within a dream. \nI stand amid the roar\nOf a surf-tormented shore\,\nAnd I hold within my hand\nGrains of the golden sand-\nHow few! yet how they creep\nThrough my fingers to the deep\,\nWhile I weep- while I weep!\nO God! can I not grasp\nThem with a tighter clasp?\nO God! can I not save\nOne from the pitiless wave?\nIs all that we see or seem\nBut a dream within a dream? \n— Edgar Allan Poe

SUMMARY:Riding the Waves
DESCRIPTION:Riding the Waves\nFriday\, March 8th\n\nGuest DJ: Stacey Butcher\nSupporting Facilitator: Marta Martin \nYou can’t stop the waves\, but you can learn to surf.\n— Jon Kabat-Zinn \nLike waves in the ocean\, emotions and thoughts come and go. Sometimes the waves are small and gentle\, and sometimes they are big and crashing. We can either resist them\, or let them knock us down\, or we can navigate through them gracefully using movement as our guide. Join us as we set the intention to embrace the ever-changing nature of life and allow it to move through us. As we practice this on the dance floor\, it ripples out into our everyday lives.

SUMMARY:Choices
DESCRIPTION:Choices\nFriday\, March 1st\n\nGuest DJ: Eduardo Arias\nSupporting Facilitator: Marta Martin \nIn the dawn of newfound clarity\, a path unfolds anew\,\nA journey from shadows\, to a life honest and true.\nOnce lost in a haze\, where choices seemed so dim\,\nI found my strength\, in the courage within. \nI’ve left behind the storm\, that brewed in every glass\,\nEmbraced the cold embrace\, of waters clear and vast.\nEach plunge\, a choice to cleanse\, to renew my spirit’s call\,\nIn the icy depths\, I found the will to stand tall. \nWith every step\, every breath\, I choose to rise\, not fall\,\nTo lace my shoes\, and face the day\, answering wellness’ call.\nThe path is mine to tread\, with determination in my stride\,\nFor in the choices of today\, my future’s hope does abide. \nNo longer a prisoner to the night\, nor to regret’s endless churn\,\nI’ve chosen a brighter path\, at every twist and turn.\nThe warmth of sobriety\, a beacon in the night\,\nGuiding me forward\, with its gentle\, guiding light. \nIn the gym’s quiet echo\, or the road’s steady beat\,\nI find my rhythm\, my heart’s own steadfast feat.\nEach drop of sweat\, a testament\, to the battles I’ve won\,\nUnder the watchful eye\, of the rising sun. \nFor today is the canvas\, on which tomorrow is painted\,\nWith strokes of choices made\, and the vices acquainted.\nI weave my future\, with threads of present deeds\,\nPlanting tomorrow’s hopes\, like a gardener sows his seeds. \nSo here I stand\, at the helm of my own fate\,\nChoosing paths that uplift\, that heal\, that liberate.\nFor in the power of now\, in the choices I embrace\,\nI find the strength to journey\, to a brighter\, hopeful place.

SUMMARY:The Source of Joy
DESCRIPTION:The Source of Joy\nSunday\, February 25th\nFacilitator: Ted Riskin \nNo one knows what makes the soul wake up\nso happy. Maybe a dawn breeze\nhas blown the veil from the face of God. \nA thousand new moons appear\, Roses\nopen laughing\, Hearts become perfect\nrubies like those from Badakshan. \nThe body turns spirit.\nLeaves becomes branches in this wind. \nWhy is now so easy to surrender\neven for those already surrendered? \nThere’s no answer to any of this.\nNo one knows the source of joy. \nA poet breathes into a reed flute\,\nand the tip of every hair makes music. \nSham sails down clods of dirt\nfrom the roof\, and we take jobs\nas doorkeepers for him. \n— Rumi\, translated by Coleman Barks \nYou can hear some of Ted’s mixes at https://www.mixcloud.com/tarisk/.

SUMMARY:::Into the Dreaming::
DESCRIPTION:Into the Dreaming: Quantum Explorations\nSunday\, February 18th\n\n\nFacilitator: Jeannie Adair \n\n“Into the Dreaming: Quantum Explorations” invites you on a journey where ancient wisdom meets modern science\, through the transformative power of dance. Inspired by the vast possibilities of quantum fields\, the nature of consciousness\, and the deep wisdom of ancient cultures. \nThrough dance\, we navigate the universe’s complexity\, blending consciousness\, creativity\, and connection. In non ordinary states of consciousness such as trance or ecstatic dance we can feel our quantum essence in the eternal now. Our movements reveal the layers of our existence\, linking us to past\, future\, and the realms beyond our everyday senses. \nThis journey uses dance to explore our dual nature: as waves\, our consciousness extends beyond time and space\, and as particles\, we are firmly in the physical world. I invite you to explore these dimensions\, embracing the possibility that our essence is spread across the universe\, yet intimately connected within ourselves. \nLet’s explore with open hearts and minds the profound duality of being both wave and particle\, moving fluidly through the endless realm of possibilities\, grounded in our physical essence\, and feel the unity and beauty that binds us all. \nYou can find my mixes on Soundcloud:

Would you believe me? \nThis Sunday\, I invite you allow yourself to come alive in all the ways you have let yourself die over the years. \nWhatever parts of you have died are now invited to come ALIVE so you can dance with them. They have been waiting for you. \nBring what has held you back from your own life\, place it on the altar in your hearts eye\, come ALIVE\, and set yourself FREE!

SUMMARY:Quintessential Heart
DESCRIPTION:Quintessential Heart\nFriday\, January 26th\n\nFacilitator: Cat Hay w/ guest vocalist Lillie Lumina\n\nInvitation: “Dance\, dance here again with me my love\, do you not remember when the music easily made us swing and sway? Lighting our spirits and seducing us away from toils and sorrows forget this darkness and the heavy sounds of the machine. The rattling\, buzzing clamour of its electricity; displaced and dislocated mind\, dismembered soul return from sea. Come still your senses that have run away with hype and fallacy. Come back this moment\, please\, if you could only see just for a moment summon your whole spirit to be free. Let your mind go and dance with mystic\, childlike reverie. Allow your quintessential heart to feel this rhythmic melody and show me in your eyes that you are here… with me.” – Katie Kamara\nArt by @vibrantlifeart \n\nDance is at Warren Wilson College – Bryson Gym\n102 Upper College Rd\, Swannanoa\, NC 28778
