Dancing with the Heart of the World
DanSing Residential Intensive
For many the date of the Winter Solstice of 2012 represents a bridge from one paradigm to another. For others it is just another date on the calendar. Whatever the truth we intend to continue dancing as deep as we can, in order to stay connected to and act from our love for life.
 We could all do with more peace, more compassion, and more empowerment. It seems that as a species, we have created a situation that threatens our very survival. We have been living in what the Achuar people in the Ecuadorian Amazon call a trance. This trance, fuelled by decades of unconscious consumption and disconnection to the natural world, has put the knowledge that we are all interconnected strands in the complex and delicate balance of life on earth to sleep.

We are in need of a new story and we each have a role to play in its creation.
In this Winter Solstice Dancing with The Heart of the World intensive, we will support you through a blend of focused Movement Medicine practice and the Pachamama Alliance Awakening the Dreamer Symposium, to remember and deepen your love for life. We will look deeply into where we are, individually and collectively. We will look at what story we have been telling that has brought us to this place. And we will strengthen our capacity to create and dream a future together that we can pass on to our descendants with pride. Joanna Macey has called this time the Great Turning. This workshop is another opportunity to take your place as an empowered, informed and creative human being, who is capable of working together for a better present and future for all our relations. Returning to the still point, we will follow the energy of the season and invite the silent wisdom we hold in our cells to speak to us of Winter dreams. We will plant the seeds of our dreams in the fertile ground of the dance and let the dancer translate them into movement, art and an all night dancing ritual in celebration of life on earth. We will embody our prayers for ourselves, our relations and the wider web to which we belong. This workshop is an invitation to return to the roots of yourself and at Winter Solstice, nourish the dark spark of what feeds, nourishes and inspires you.
