SUMMARY:The Perfection Of It All
DESCRIPTION:The Perfection Of It All\nFriday\, July 3rd\, 2026\nGuest DJ: Karen Funshine (Karen Smith)\nSupport Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nWhat if there is nothing wrong in our world and everything is part of a larger Divine intelligence that we cannot fully comprehend? What we call “good” and “bad” may simply be judgments based on our limited human perspective. \nThe Tao Te Ching teaches that reality naturally moves according to the Tao – the underlying way or flow of existence. Suffering arises when humans resist\, judge\, control\, or force life to conform to their preferences. What if all of it is necessary? The beauty and the horror\, birth and death\, love and betrayal\, war and peace are all needed for our growth and to maintain balance. Can we trust in the unfolding mystery? \nAs the poet and mystic Rumi wrote: “Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing\, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”

SUMMARY:Find Me
DESCRIPTION:Find Me\nSunday\, June 28th\, 2026\nFacilitator: DJ Mikaya (Micah Swabb)\nSupport Facilitator: Kris Hostikka \nFind Me lives in the space between longing\, emergence\, revelation\, and being seen — exploring the desire for connection between self and other. Here on the dance floor at Asheville Movement Collective\, we move through these themes together\, from dancer to dancer. \nAnd going inward… Find Me also lives in the internal landscape — where one part of our inner self longs to be seen and understood by the broad expanse of our unfolding psyche.

SUMMARY:Transcending Reality
DESCRIPTION:Transcending Reality\nFriday\, June 26th\, 2026\nGuest DJ: DJ Magdalyn(Wryn Magdalyn)\nSupport Facilitator: Kristikka \n“Transcendence is a perspective in which we can view our whole being from a higher vantage point with acceptance\, wisdom\, and a sense of connectedness with the rest of humanity\,” describes Scott Barry Kaufman. This is often what occurs in the ecstatic dance experience when all the elements are just right : a great group of dancers\, a safe container\, and a musical journey that invites us deeper into ourselves. A journey that doesn’t just take us up\, it takes us down\, around and through. Through the stuckness in the mind\, the stiffness in the body and out the other side to a more liberated and unified self. May this be our shared experience.

DESCRIPTION:Rise and Shine\nSunday\, June 14th\, 2026\nFacilitator: DJ Kristikka (Kris Hostikka) \nAs we draw closer to the Summer Solstice—the longest day of light—there is an invitation to shine like the sun without holding back.

Come add your light to the collective glow. \nNote: During this warmup we will have feature a Contact Improv Skills for Connection Mini-Workshop with Lillie Lumina. You can join the mini-workshop or warmup quietly as usual.

SUMMARY:Rise and Shine
DESCRIPTION:Rise and Shine\nSunday\, June 14th\, 2026\nFacilitator: DJ Kristikka (Kris Hostikka) \nAs we draw closer to the Summer Solstice—the longest day of light—there is an invitation to shine like the sun without holding back. Connect and project your radiance. Rise and dance from your essence. Allow light to move into any place within that longs for tenderness\, healing\, or renewal. Let the music move through you like sunlight through a forest\, illuminating what is ready to awaken. \nTogether\, we will create hundreds of points of light\, sparkling throughout our dance temple. With every step\, every breath\, every joyful expression\, we dissolve a little more heaviness and remember the simple miracle of being alive. Come shine like the sun. Come add your light to the collective glow.

SUMMARY:Exquisite
DESCRIPTION:Exquisite\nSunday\, June 7th\, 2026\nFacilitator: Jeannie Adair \nSince the death of my beloved 20-year-old son almost three months ago\, I have been living with exquisite pain — raw\, acute\, and impossible to ignore. And within that pain\, I have also felt exquisite beauty: the depth of my love for him\, the love that continues beyond death\, and the extraordinary support of friends\, family\, and this AMC dance community. \nThis mix is an invitation to come as you are. \nTo feel your feelings. \nTo let the body tell the truth.\nTo make space for grief\, love\, gratitude\, anger\, tenderness\, numbness\, joy\, or whatever is alive in you. \nWe gather to be honest. To be human. To move what is real. Together.

SUMMARY:Shapeshifters
DESCRIPTION:Shapeshifters\nFriday\, May 22nd\, 2026\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nI Am a Prayer\nby Joy Harjo \nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of rain in the desert when the flowering ones need a drink\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of sun when there is no end to night\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of ocean when there is no more blue\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of clouds when few make rain songs\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of roads that lead everywhere but home\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of white birds who cannot fly through a storm of fear\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of fire who arrived to care for humans\, then was misused to destroy\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of wind\, whose breathing carries seeds\, pollen\, and songs to feed the generations\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of moon who wears the night as a shawl to hide that which should never be spoken\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of grief\, when life gambled with death and gave up families for guns\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of smoke\, wandering the broken houses\, the littered ground looking for a white flag of reason\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of mountains\, those tall humble ones who agreed to lift our eyes to see\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of forever making a path of beauty through the rubble of eternity\nI am a prayer\nI am a prayer of poetry speaking the soundlessness of the dead who return to speak in prayer\nI am a prayer with children on my back roaming the earth house of destruction and creation\nI am a prayer without end \nGnosis\, the knowing that comes from experience\, from fully understanding something from the inside out\, transforms our soul\, and opens us to empathy\, connection and a sense of oneness. To know something physical\, such as a river or a coat\, we must try it on\, envelope ourselves in its texture\, form\, scent and movement. Our ancestors became the lion\, the eagle or the willow tree through the transformational magic of trance in order to know how a lion hunts\, an eagle sees\, or a willow bends\, but also simply to know those beings. This shapeshifting dance is an invitation to explore the essences of others in order find ourselves within our “family of things.”

SUMMARY:Let Go of the Banana!
DESCRIPTION:Let Go of the Banana!\nSunday\, May 17th\, 2026\nFacilitator: Ted Riskin \nYou may have heard the parable of a simple way to catch monkeys in the jungle. Leave a banana in a container with an opening large enough for the monkey’s hand\, but small enough that it can’t remove its hand while grasping the banana. Even as a hunter approaches\, the monkey won’t release the banana so it can escape. \nWhat is the banana that is keeping you stuck because you won’t let it go? Approval or acceptance of your lifestyle choices from a parent? Permission to set a boundary? Needing to prove your point or win the argument? \nYou are invited to release some bananas in Sunday’s dance and grieve their loss. Then\, enjoy your freedom!
