SUMMARY:Speck of a Star
DESCRIPTION:Speck of a Star\nFriday\, January 17th\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman  \nWithin each of us is a particular genius\, our unique offering to the universe\, or what the ancient people referred to as a speck of a star.  Our ancestors knew that our collective future depends on each of us finding and sharing that genius with the world. \n“Don’t go away\, come near.\nDon’t be faithless\, be faithful.\nFind the antidote in the venom.\nCome to the root of the root of yourself. \nMolded of clay\, yet kneaded\nfrom the substance of certainty\,\na guard at the Treasury of Holy Light —\ncome\, return to the root of the root of your Self. \nOnce you get hold of selflessness\,\nYou’ll be dragged from your ego\nand freed from many traps.\nCome\, return to the root of the root of your Self… \nYou are a ruby embedded in granite.\nHow long will you pretend it’s not true?\nWe can see it in your eyes.\nCome to the root of the root of your Self.” \nFrom The Root of the Root of Yourself by Rumi

SUMMARY:DANCE CANCELLED - Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:Sanctuary\nSunday\, January 12th\nFacilitator: Jeannie Adair \nHome is not a place—it is a feeling\, a state of being where we are safe to welcome every part of ourselves. In your heart\, “home” may feel like warmth and belonging\, and it might also hold longing\, fears\, and unanswered questions. This is the sanctuary where all of you resides—the joyful\, the tender\, the wounded\, the unresolved. \nThese parts of us carry the stories of who we are and who we’ve been. Some seek clarity\, others healing. To create a sanctuary within is to sit with these questions\, not to force answers. Let’s honor their unfolding with acceptance. It is here\, in this sacred space of patience and compassion\, that we learn the wisdom of our emotions and remember the wholeness we already are. \nUnder the light of this (almost) first full moon of the year\, I invite you to dance into the depths of your emotional home. Together\, let’s honor the unsolved mysteries within\, creating a sanctuary of love\, safety\, and connection through our breath\, our movement\, and the awareness of one another. \nBe patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves\, like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers\, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is\, to live everything. Live the questions now.\n— Rainer Maria Rilke

SUMMARY:DANCE CANCELLED - Four Seasons in One Day
DESCRIPTION:DANCE CANCELLED – Four Seasons in One Day\nSunday\, January 10th\nFacilitator: Lanie McKeever  \nDrawing inspiration from one of my favorite Neil Finn / Crowded House songs\, join me for an evening of movement to embrace our life’s ever-changing nature and impermanence. We will tend to the myriad of emotions that visit our bodies and experiences throughout just one day: from joy to sorrow\, hope to despair. Maybe we will become curious about any shifts in our bodies\, minds\, and spirits as we attune to the changes in rhythm\, within and without. Perhaps we are becoming the change we want to see in the world.

SUMMARY:Celestial Swing
DESCRIPTION:Image (Image GPT) \nCelestial Swing\nFriday\, January 3rd\nFacilitator: Eduardo Arias \nCelestial Swing is more than a dance wave—it’s an electrifying call to rise above. Rooted in the rhythm of the stars and the sway of the cosmos\, it’s a movement designed to remind everyone on the dance floor that the universe is vast\, and their potential is limitless. With each beat\, the energy of Celestial Swing builds\, flowing like lunar tides\, encouraging every dancer to push past their limits and transcend obstacles. \nDancers find themselves caught in the gravitational dance of resilience and joy\, their movements echoing the stars’ eternal rhythm. It’s not just a wave of music; it’s a cosmic reminder that every leap\, spin\, and step forward is a celebration of overcoming. In the glow of Celestial Swing\, the dance floor becomes a universe where every soul is a shooting star blazing its way into a brighter 2025.

SUMMARY:Experiencing Unity
DESCRIPTION:Experiencing Unity\nFriday\, December 13th\nGuest DJ: Megan Belling\nSupporting Facilitator: Rory Jagdeo \nWith the daily hustle and bustle\, it’s easy to forget that we are all one – just branches stemming from the same tree. Every day we experience the illusion of “others”and separation from oneness. I believe our aim amidst the different beliefs or the language we don’t understand\, is to come back to the knowing that we are all connected despite this. We dance as one even as we move in our own unique way.

SUMMARY:The Body Is the Score
DESCRIPTION:The Body Is the Score\nFriday\, November 29th\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nA storm blows through and just as it shifts the ground beneath our feet and knocks down trees\, it also stirs up the grief and trauma that has been living in our bodies and overpowers our normal defenses. Dance has always brought us back to our bodies when we feel uprooted or vulnerable. Research now shows that bilateral movements\, shaking and stretching can release trauma\, but as a species\, we have always known this instinctively. This dance is an opportunity to find whatever continues to cling to your spine\, fascia or heart and to offer it up to the rhythms and movement.

SUMMARY:Walk About
DESCRIPTION:Walk About\nSunday\, November 24th\nFacilitator: Rory Jagdeo \nDuring 2020\, I wrote a book called WALK ABOUT: Searching For The Epic Life – A Guyanese Memoir. The phrase “walk about” is used extensively in the Caribbean and British Colonies to mean taking a simple\, leisurely walk down the road\, to explore the village life\, or to seek adventures in a neighboring village. This phrase was also used to mean going to the farm lands\, fishing in the swamps\, playing and dancing in the park\, or tending to the herd in the savannahs. Later in life\, I personally referred to it as riding a bicycle\, driving a car\, or taking a flight as a form of “walk about” experience. The possibilities and adventures are endless in our lives. \nThis Sunday\, I invite you to come “walk about” with me through our dance experience. Take a journey through music with big and small movements while finding healing as we all search for our version of the “Epic Life”.

SUMMARY:Saturday\, Nov 23\, 2024\, Eco Grief Dance at Lake Eden Barn
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 23rd\nTemple of Seaweed presents\nEco Grief Dance at Lake Eden Barn\n5:30 pm to 7:15 pm\nLake Eden Barn\n377 Lake Eden Road\, Black Mountain\, NC \nSponsors Leaf\, AMC\, and StarTribe\nFacilitators: Sara Bensman and Jeannie Adair \nHow do you express grief in the aftermath of a natural disaster? Just putting those two words together – natural and disaster – feels contrary to the human spirit. \nPrior to Hurricane Helene\, Western North Carolina was flourishing in its first stages of foliage season. Now? We are faced with grief beyond individual and collective comprehension. So many people feel soul-shocked and gutted by the devastation. So many hearts are cracked open. So much is still tender\, raw and wounded. So much weeping remains… \nWe’re hosting this eco-grief dance in the beloved barn at Lake Eden as an invitation for you to be in your grief and with your grief\, to give movement and expression to your grief; to allow your grief to flow freely through you… \nBy Donation\, all profits donated to Beloved Asheville.\nAdd the comment Eco Grief when you pay with Venmo.

SUMMARY:Whining Welcomed Here
DESCRIPTION:Whining Welcomed Here\nSunday\, November 10th\nFacilitator: Ted Riskin \nOur culture of rugged individualism shames us for whining or feeling sorry for ourselves. But isn’t what we call “whining” just parts of us that need to be witnessed in our pain and sadness? Why should we deny that\, especially when many of us have recently suffered losses? Let’s provide that necessary compassionate witnessing on Sunday. \nYou can hear some of Ted’s mixes at https://www.mixcloud.com/tarisk/.
