Soul Motion™ Spring Odyssey (+ Potluck!)

Breathing in, I take in the nourishment of the fertile earth.
Breathing out, I allow the potency of spring to unfurl me.
Breathing in, I receive all that is around me.
Breathing out, I release, renew and enrich.

Music, stillness, poetry, presence, food! A Soul Motion Odyssey through the relational landscapes of Vinn Arjuna Marti's beloved movement practice -- alone, with one other, all others, all and everything. Two hours of dance, followed by a potluck feast. Let's feed each other on and off the dance floor.

Santa Cruz Soul Motion™: Oct. 5

Shall we meet on an autumn afternoon, and practice -- in motion and stillness -- the art of the miraculous? Miracles are surprising, improbable, extraordinary, yes? And...when we pay attention to what's moving us from the inside, the most ordinary impulses of breath, sensation and imagination can lead to a dance of truth and satisfying beauty. No need to put your palms together or get down on your knees (unless, of course, that works for you!). Music and poetic encouragements will support our dances of discovery, dialog and devotion, held by Vinn Arjuna Marti's conscious movement practice. Thank you!

Men, Moving: A Soul Motion™ Odyssey for Men

I love dancing with women.
I love dancing with men.
I have noticed that it can be a fundamentally different experience, sourced from different internal, archetypal places.
I believe I ask for and offer different qualities, and can have different outcomes in mind.
You?
I wonder what would happen if we gather as guys -- all ages, stages, persuasions -- and use our Soul Motion practice to open to ourselves and each other: moving in the space between and around us, pausing to listen with our inner ears and hearts, inspiring each other along the way?
What would be different? What the same? Who might we be in such a space?
On Saturday, May 11, 11am-2pm in Berkeley's Western Sky Studio, we'll dance as men, with men. Strong, upright, clear. Vulnerable, wobbly, off-balance. Broad, brilliant, fearsome and flawed.
Are you willing? Will you?
