SUMMARY:Young at Heart
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Young at Heart \nFor this dance\, the energies of the Full Wolf Moon along with the Holy 12th Night\, the Epiphany\, are calling for us to turn towards and follow our own inner Light in the middle of Winter’s darkness.

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: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:...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:Stepping In
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Stepping In \nAs the days and nights grow colder we naturally turn inward to prepare for Winter.\nOn a physical level\, we step inside to warmth and coziness\, perhaps into quietude and stillness.\nOn a mental level\, we may be stepping into self reflection or even letting go of what we no longer need.\nOn a spiritual level\, we may be stepping closer to our true Self. \nI invite you to consider what you are stepping into?  Your power? The unknown?\nFinessing a skill\, working on completing a project\, a deeper connection with friends or lovers?\nConnecting to spirit or a particular path? \nHow can we step in to our endeavors with our whole hearts\, allowing our true Self to lead us on?\nHow does that feel in our bodies and inform our movement in the dance?

SUMMARY:Initiation
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Initiation\n \n\n“And the present\, our life\, everything that happens to us is merely an opportunity to meet the tests and trials and challenges of initiation. An opportunity to relax the tensions and dissolve away the stresses we have stored up within ourselves\, for aeons and aeons of time\, by our thoughts and words and deeds…the tensions and stresses that are the cause of our destiny\, our future. To the extent that we are able to become conscious of those tensions and overcome them\, we free our human consciousness which is tied down by these energies and limited because it is tied down\, and we identify our consciousness with the true divine self waiting behind every personal feeling of ego… \n…The self – at one and the same time the self of all living creatures\, and therefore my self – knows no bounds; so the entire universe is with me\, and my self fills all the universe. Everything that is – I am! In everything I love\, I love my self\, for the only things we think we don’t love are what we haven’t yet come to recognize within ourselves! The self is life and the only reality\, and whoever is initiated into the self – and in this way has come to know themself completely – loves everything and everyone equally\, for they are one with them… \n…and that is…INITIATION!” \n-Excerpt from “Initiation” By Elizabeth Haich \n

SUMMARY:Winds of Change
DESCRIPTION:There is an ancient Chinese proverb that goes: “When the wind of change blows\, some people build walls\, others build windmills.” Change can sometimes cause us to become frightened. We may think staying with the same course is a good idea\, even when a more fruitful or favorable alternative awaits us. \nI invite you to practice dropping judgements\, releasing inhibitions\, letting go of resistance to change\, and going with the flow. Every dance is an opportunity to explore new territory with our self and with others\, through an intentional movement journey that opens the doors to heightened levels of feeling\, expression\, and discovery. Let’s make room for change and evolution – let’s give it a try together and be adventurous. Even if it feels edgy\, we can discover newness and change in our bodies\, in our hearts\, and with one another. \n\nPre-registration is highly recommended. We have limited capacity.

SUMMARY:Improvised Movement Symphony at Evergreen
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Improvised Movement Symphony \nI craft waves with the intention of pressing every button that needs pressing within the dancing body\, to make sure there is a space for every feeling and every movement that wants or needs to be experienced. \nI hold the container with blend of reverence for the deep importance of the guidelines and irreverence for the ridiculous absurdity of the human condition. \nCome along if you’re looking to dance or to grow\, to cry or to laugh. You are loved. \n-Michael\n(he/she/they – however you experience me)

SUMMARY:Cosmic Mother
DESCRIPTION:Artwork by MANZEL BOWMAN \nPoem to the Cosmic Mother by Danny Peebles \nRain falls within\, washing my thoughts into streams and rivers\nFlooding mountains and valleys – dancing joyously\, ecstatically\nto the release – the emptying\nInto the Great Ocean of Her.\nWashing\, cascading\, pushing\, enfolding\,\nUnfolding me – I am Her Wave\nRising\,\nFalling\,\nAppearing\,\nDisappearing!\nMy soul births the light of a thousand smiling stars\nLaughing — I receive that light – and give the universe\nTo myself – and then give – give till it aches and pounds and screams\nMy chest wide open – love bursting every pore\, every molecule\,\nBecoming every past\, every future upon the quantum necklace\nThat drapes deliciously around Her Cosmic Heart. \n\nMicah’s dj mixes are available for free streaming at Soundcloud.com/mikayaswabb.\n  \nPre-registration is highly recommended.

SUMMARY:Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: Sanctuary \nIn nature\, a sanctuary can exist in many forms–as a place that provides safety or protection of wildlife from danger or a difficult situation. It can also be a place where our heart is present–a place of worship. Our dance space can be considered a sanctuary where we can let go of the outside world\, drop into our body\, surrender to our experience\, and open up to connect in community. I invite you to consider this space as sacred\, where we connect with the energy of everyone and ourselves through movement and musical notations.
