What a few days away actually feels like
Sunrise. Just you and your breath. No app telling you how to feel. No one needing you yet.
You move your story instead of explaining it. Where you started. Where you got stuck. Where you're headed. Your body knows before your head does.
You move with people who aren't watching you. No one judging the shape you make. You forget to judge it too.
Someone works the exhaustion out of your shoulders. Tired you'd stopped noticing. You'll feel it leave.
You go home with a story that's yours. And people who watched you get there. Not a souvenir. Proof.
You land. The noise stops. Green fields. A river close by. No inbox. First full breath in months.
Cold water at the temple spring. Weight you didn't know you carried. Gone.
You find the parts of you you've been avoiding. Turns out they're the good ones. This is the work. It's also the relief.
The group builds something real. Not a performance. Not a project. Just true, made with your body.
Last night: open-air theater, stars for a ceiling. You show the group what moved in you. No one's grading it.
People walk in stuck. They walk out alive
People arrive carrying something. Anger, a frozen body, a problem that felt like it had no way out — and by the end of the day most of them have put it down. Not by talking about it. By dancing it.
It was a truly beautiful experience. Challenging, informative, motivating and inspiring for movement, but also for getting to know yourself and leading your best life. Thank you for everything
Sander
I had a wonderful time working and dancing with all of you.
Thank you, thank you ♡
What's proud-making is simple: people walked in stuck and walked out alive. That's the work.
Today's setup was beautiful. I really loved physically experiencing how the hero's journey feels. It felt completely natural, and that's also thanks to the choice of music..
Lots of love ♡
Janet
Thanks so much for the "safe space" and wonderful topics + dance..
I arrived angry + hopeless due to a work situation and I'm leaving "balanced"
It was great to try and "let go"
Thanks sooooo much
Love,
Michelle
