First Writing & Dancing Program with DJ-visionaire Maegan Melissa Gorbett

I am thrilled to announce that sign-up is open for this long-anticipated program hosted by me and one of my dearest friends, DJ-visionaire Maegan Melissa Gorbett:

WILD MIND, WISE BODY:
Embodied Writing and Movement Weekend

November 12 & 13, 2016, Club Lite Amsterdam

Writing is allowing your mind to show up on paper. Dancing is allowing wisdom to show up in movement. Both are unique, fluid and fleeting expressions of the puzzle we call life. In their expressions -however small or bombastic- lies questions & answers, truths & mysteries…This weekend explores the way your body & mind moves -and how, together, they can dance.

cultivate confidence and play

Both writing and dancing rely on trust. In writing practice, you trust your mind to move your thoughts and longings, your lost and broken stories on paper. In embodied movement, you trust your body and all its memories to act and express itself. Not only do both disciplines require trust; they also strengthen it. The more you surrender to first thought and first movement, the more confidence you build -both on paper as in body. Freedom is not needing to know what comes next. When you move and write from this basic trust, you open yourself up to deep healing, play, connection and surprise.

wild mind, wise body

During this program, we move in between language and non-language. Vocalizing and feeling. Movement and stillness. Embodied movement opens up your writing to the wisdom and memories of the body. Writing helps vocalize what you experience and wisdom of -and in- your body. The fruit of this dance is a life more in tune.
