Embrace You-Ness

Guest DJ: Karen Funshine (Karen Smith)
Support Facilitator: Ted Riskin

“You-Ness” is the essence of you, a completely unique blend of your genetic & astrological blueprint, your life experiences, your spirit, talents, & desires. Within you lives a full spectrum of personalities, from the wounded child to the wise sage, from the artist to the scientist and so many varied expressions in between. This dance is an invitation to step fully into that multi-dimensional being and welcome all parts of yourself, raw, real, and FREE. Drop the mask of your “usual self” and allow what’s been hidden or suppressed to breathe, move, be seen and felt, whether it be the elegant or the profane, the tender or the fierce, the serious or the sensual, the timid or the wild one. There is no bad or wrong part of you. It’s all perfect, whole & complete. Together, we celebrate radical self-acceptance rather than comparison and rediscover the freedom of being wholly, unapologetically you. In the words of the great Dr. Seuss, “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You”. So, let’s dive in and get curious about which parts of us show up when we invite them into our dance with loving, open arms, minds, & hearts.
