Workshop Information

Title: Contact Beyond Contact

Duration: 2-Hours Preferred ( 1 hour minimum)

Description
This offering is but a fractal of my deepest prayer that each of us get to live a life in which we feel fully loved, supported, proud of and worthy of being exactly who we are. This is true peace: to feel safe enough in any given moment to act authentically and to know we will be heard, seen and loved through it all.

Contact Beyond Contact (CBC) is a relational dance healing practice that brings participants into body, mind and heart alignment through explorations in contact improvisation and somatic & authentic movement.

The container will be woven with prayer & intention and held through agreements of non-judgement, compassion, patience and respect to create a safe space in which all can move, connect, integrate and transform.

This practice is an embodied pathway to the deep truth of who we are in relationship to ourselves, each other and our collective as a whole. Within this container we get to explore concepts of Energetic Connection, Leading and Following, our Yes and our No, and our Authentic Expression as it intersects with the present moment through our fellow beings.

Beginner friendly, no dance experience is necessary.

Biography

Elohim. When I received this name it was as a Force, one that weaves the formless into form. I know this force as Creation and I honor it as Creator. I call to it in prayer as Great Spirit and I surrender to it as the Great Mystery. This force, the source from which all is poured.

All that I offer in these spaces. Words. Guidance. Ideas. Longings. Dreams. Stories… I offer in service to myself (because I love being and enacting the work) AND to all of us in service to the more beautiful and harmonious world we know is already being birthed.

I have been holding and guiding intentional healing spaces for over 9 years alongside breathwork, dance, plant medicines, sound, song and prayer. What I believe is that there are certain parts of ourselves that need to be expressed and witnessed within the context of inter-connection. That we can do as much healing as we want to on our own and yet we must also, absolutely, heal together through the expression and witness of community. I am here to hold and to guide us to those places within ourselves that are asking for our attention. That are asking for our love. All those parts of ourselves that will guide us back to our fully Liberated Hearts.

What I Need to be Fully Successful

• 2 hours is preferable although I could fit it in 1.

• Space that is flat, safe to dance on and large enough for the anticipated number of participants.

• Space that is far from loud stages or a time slot that is during quiet hours

• A real PA system (Bluetooth speakers will NOT cut it. The music is a vital part of the container)
