Love Offering (100% to Benevolence Fund)
There is a sacred fullness to this season. An aliveness that is expansive, yet deeply immersive.
Light pours like honey over the lands, fortifying the Earth with the rich presence of vitality. The same vitality that we inspire to express as we open our hearts to the sacred gift of cacao and guide our bodies through the ancient art of expressive movement…moving in tempo along the pulse of the living world.
Our Journey
We begin with cacao*, received as a plant ally, an offering of the Earth that invites us into presence, softens the heart, and attunes us to the subtle rhythms within.
From this place of connection, we enter into organic expressive movement as an expression of reverent celebration for all that is Alive within and around us this season.
As we allow movement to wane we release into shared presence with the floral community, inspiring summer’s unfolding within and around through a flower blessing and aromatherapy infused meditation.
Gentle Invitations:
Wear clothing that is breathable and comfortable to move in
Consider shoes that are supportive. If you prefer to dance barefoot, that is welcome.
Consider a mat, towel, or blanket to create your space on the Earth.
Mug for cacao* (some will be provided)
You are welcome to bring streamers, scarves, or other accessories that compliment your expressive movement
Bring a flower to share in our flower blessing
*For those who need an alternative to cacao, herbal tea will be provided for you.
If you have never participated in expressive movement before, please know that there is no “technique”, right or wrong way of doing things. The music encourages an unfolding of movement within and around. Movement can be done standing or seated depending on one’s ability and preference.
This is a trauma sensitive gathering. All who attend self-determine if movement is aligned for them in the moment. Enjoying the music from a seated or reclined position is an alternative to movement. We stay connected to the current and one another through breath.
