SUMMARY:...and breathe
DESCRIPTION:…and breathe\n\n\nBreath happens\, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.  When I’m aware of my breath\, in any context\, I’m likely to be more grounded and openhearted.  Today’s mix will take us through a wide variety of emotions and images.  Use it as an opportunity to do it ALL with breath. \nWhen people ask me what the most important thing is in life\, I answer ‘Just breathe’.\n— Yoko Ono \nBreathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.\n— Oprah Winfrey \nBreath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness\, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered\, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.\n— Thich Nhat Hanh

SUMMARY:InterDance ~ Connection in Motion\, A benefit for OurVoice
DESCRIPTION:Special Event: InterDance ~ Connection in Motion\nA benefit for OurVoice\n\nWorkshop at 2:00 pm – Dance Wave at 4pm\nSuggested Donation $50: $25 for the workshop & $25 for the wave\nAMC is excited to announce InterDance – a workshop and wave focused specifically on interactive dancing (dancing directly together not just simultaneously in the same room\, but interacting and engaging with the other dancers directly). Participants are invited to attend both the workshop and the dance wave\, though  if you wish to attend only one of these offerings that is perfectly fine\, please note the appropriate arrival times in the schedule below. \nThe intention of the workshop is to help us find more ease and fluidity in dancing with others. We believe our body holds the intuitive wisdom we need to guide our choices in the dance and the workshop and wave will be opportunities to explore and practice that. \nThis workshop is not about working harder\, but rather relaxing softer\, in order to listen more deeply- first within our self\, and then with each other. The first half of the event will be co-facilitated by three of our own team members\, Cat\, Ran\, and Michael. It will support participants in practicing the skill of tuning in to their own bodily sensations and instinctual urges towards movement or stillness. There will also be plenty of opportunities to explore how we can engage with others in ways that feel safe\, appropriate\, playful and curious.  We will have the opportunity to experience ourselves as part of the collective by intentionally moving with each other. We will play with toggling back and forth between this kind of attention within and without\, ultimately aiming to cultivate a culture of embodied empowerment. After the workshop\, we will have a short break with some light refreshments and then together we can enjoy an extended wave DJ’d by our very own Micah S. during which we can practice the connection and attunement skills that we cultivated in the workshop. \nYou would be a great fit for this workshop if you:\n-Are willing to feel awkward and or silly at times and have fun doing so\n-Would like to feel more comfortable dancing with others\n-Love getting down with others who are excited to dance together\n-Consider yourself skilled or unskilled in the art of moving with others \nYou (and we) would probably not be happy you came if you:\n-Want to “do it right” all the time and not make mistakes or feel silly\n-Are not open to learning something new and risking the creation of new neural pathways\n-Like to judge others so you feel better about yourself \nSee the agenda outline below:\n2:00-2:15 Arrival\n2:15-4:00 InterDance workshop\n4:00-4:15 Break\n4:15         InterDance Opening circle\n4:30-6:00 InterDance w/ DJ Mikaya\n6:00-6:30 Extended Closing Circle for InterDance Harvest \nSuggested price $50: $25 for the workshop & $25 for the wave\nA benefit for OurVoice

SUMMARY:The Power of Music
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: The Power of Music \nI think music\, out of all that we can do\, at least artistically\, is the great indicator that something else is going on\, something unexplained\, because it allows us to experience genuine moments of transcendence.\n— Nick Cave \nIn an early version of the myth of Eurydice\, she is the wife of Orpheus\, a master musician. Upon being bitten by a viper\, she dies and descends into the Underworld. Orpheus is grief-stricken but finds a way to go there\, and by playing his music and singing so beautifully\, he softens the hearts of the rulers of Hades\, and is allowed to take her back to the land of the living. \nHow do you experience the power of music? \nYou can hear some of Ted’s mixes at https://www.mixcloud.com/tarisk/. \n

SUMMARY:Center of the Heart
DESCRIPTION:Invitation:  Center of the Heart \nPoets and philosophers have written about the Heart extensively and have concluded that the Heart is our emotional center. It is the place that tells us the truth\, gives us freedom\, guides us\, and fosters our connections in life. Perhaps that is why we use phrases such as: “I love you with all my heart\,” “You are in my heart\,” “My heart feels for you\,” “Listen to your heart\,” and “Open your heart” to name a few. \nIn this dance today\, imagine the center of your heart as an infinite dance space where you feel warmth and connection that is sacred. Let’s find out what lies within the center of our Hearts.

SUMMARY:Instrumental Restriction at Warren Wilson College Bryson Gym!
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Instrumental Restriction at\nWarren Wilson College Bryson Gym! \nI’ve often tried creating an ecstatic wave journey without any lyric heavy songs. It never ends up happening. I just love using songs with lyrics both in english and other languages too much. But for this mix I will restrict myself to only songs that have instrumentals\, or I will cut out any lyrics. I’m curious how it might land for our dance community and the creative direction it might take me on. \nI’m always trying to evolve and adapt my craft as a music weaver\, and an easy way to do that is to impose restrictions that force me into uncomfortable and uncharted territories. If you’d like to journey into such an exploration\, I invite you to come to this dance. \nThe invitation there for you as a dancer\, will be to explore the messages you find in music that is devoid of words. And also\, the invitation is to explore how creative restrictions can fuel your creativity and dance expression. \nMicah is a long time ecstatic dance dj and facilitator. His mixes can be found at soundcloud.com/mikayaswabb. He is also offering one on one DJ lessons for new aspiring DJs as well as for seasoned DJs who are curious to learn more about how to craft sets that use an ecstatic dance style wave progression through a diverse set of musical genres. Please email him at micahswabb@pm.me if interested in lessons.

SUMMARY:Dance for Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Dance for Your Life \nThis poem says it all:\nThey Danced for the Love They Felt\nby Shiloh Sophia McCloud\n(re-written by Stacey with “they” instead of “her” to be more inclusive) \nThey danced for the love they felt\, the love they gave away\, and the love they kept\nThey danced to free their spirit and to free other spirits too\nThey danced in response to joy and to process pain. \nThey moved their body like their life depended on it\,\nAll the while praying for love to come\, for sadness to go. \nThey danced for all the people who can’t dance for themselves. \nThey also taught others to dance for justice\, for truth\, for possibility…for healing the broken–hearted. \nThey danced with the little children and the wise old ones. \nThey danced to break the ties that bind our people\,\nTo bring awareness and healing\,\nTo invite friendship and art into the open spaces that the dance created. \nThey danced to break open the hearts of our people\,\nTo bring truth and compassion\,\nTo encourage kindness and vision towards the healed places that the dance created. \nThey danced to keep the flame of true love burning. \nThey danced for all the wishes\, all the dreams and all the blessings. \nThey danced the first dance and the last dance. \nThey danced when they were too tired to walk. \nThey danced for the living and for the dead\,\nIn birth and in mourning\,\nFor peace\, beauty and creative expression. \nThey danced their prayers all the way to God\,\nWhich wasn’t so very far after all.

SUMMARY:What Dreams May Come
DESCRIPTION:Invitation:\nYou are born to fly\, and in dreams you remember the soul has wings\n— Robert Moss \nOur nightly dreams can contain a wealth of untapped insight and can help us process our day to day experiences\, memories\, and emotions. Sometimes our dreams may be trying to help us resolve a problem or bring something to our conscious waking attention. Sometimes our dreams are our bodies trying to communicate with us. Dreams invite us to spiral inward and explore our connection to meaning\, purpose\, and soul. Sometimes our dreams connect us to what is happening in the collective or our communities or something larger. \nFor this dance\, I invite you to connect with a dream that you are curious about and see if it wants to be danced and moved. Allow yourself the chance to dance a new ending\, a new insight. Maybe\, just maybe\, there is something there waiting in the ‘wings’—ready to transform and fly! \nLanie McKeever is a visionary empath and 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.

DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Renewal \nWe have reached the mid winter mark. Some celebrate Imbolc\, Candlemass\, and Groundhog Day.  We all celebrate the returning of the light.

SUMMARY:(Un)masked
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: (Un)masked \nFebruary is the season for Carnivale. Originating in 11th century Venice\, where for over 2 weeks\, people from all social classes wore masks and celebrated together. The mask became part of everyday attire for some to help break cultural norms.  A mask can bring out our darker natures\, and a more amplified\, authentic\, and less restrained version of our personalities. \nThe modern meaning of the word mask derives from Medieval Latin masca which means witch or specter\, and influenced by the Arabic maskara\, or buffoon. Used in rituals and ceremonies\, the oldest found dates from 7000 BC. \nThe mask is deeply imprinted in our psyche. The spiritual power in masks transport us into realms unseen and gives voice to things unspoken. Within the context of ritual\, putting on a mask places the wearer at the intersection between the present and the past\, the living and the dead\, the seen and the unseen.  Donning a mask can allow us to adopt the spirit of it\, and to connect with creatures\, our ancestors\, and the Divine. \nWhat about our own internal masks? Our personality masks?\nWe take steps to cover up who we really are around other people in social\, work\, or personal interactions\, mostly to protect ourselves from dominant culture\, or as a result from trauma. We can mask our personality with words\, facial expressions\, body language\, actions\, and even dance. Starting when we are very young\, many of us were taught to mask  to conceal negative emotions (usually sadness\, frustration\, and anger) with a positive emotion or indifferent affect.  If we wear a mask too long we can forget we are wearing it\, and it can cause depression and be depleting to our true nature. \nWhat masks do you wear? Are you the martyr\, the bully\, the comedian\, the overachiever\, the people-pleaser\, the social butterfly\, the conformist\, or the rebel?- \nThe invitation is to dance with your masks\, sifting though your social\, work\, and relationships masks.\nHow do they want to move?\nWhere do they live in your body?\nWhat does it feel like to put them on and take them off consciously\, in dance?

SUMMARY:10 Things I Learned from My Cat
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: 10 Things I Learned from My Cat \n\nIt’s OK to communicate my wants and needs.\nWhen bad things happen\, like being accidentally locked in the garage\, I don’t need to freak out or grumble. I can just make the best of things\, perhaps looking for interesting animals\, until someone opens the door.\nWhen a part of me says my cat loves me and another part says she’s just using me for food and chin scratches\, I get to choose which one to believe.\nWorrying about what people think of me is optional.\nWorrying about the future is optional.\nThinking is optional.\nEating something that dropped on the ground won’t kill me.\nI can catch up on sleep during the day if I want.\nI don’t need to be ashamed about bodily functions.\nAlways keep breathing.\nIt’s OK if I don’t know how to count to 10.\n\nMany of these lessons can be practiced on the dance floor. \nYou can hear some of Ted’s mixes at https://www.mixcloud.com/tarisk/.
