Current Lucid Design Work



dear friends and colleagues,
i've been continuing my relationship with IONS (Institute of Noetic Sciences), producing work that, I trust, serves the Institute's mission to explore, through the lens of the scientific method, the edges (and center) of what we call consciousness. enjoy!

the C E N T E R is E V E R Y W H E R E

dear wind warriors,
this thursday, we continue our exploration, in conscious movement,
of our place in space: the center of our worlds, seen and unseen,
ancestral and astral, in body and spirit and soul.
you and i: utterly unique, just like everyone else.
do drop in.

Thursdays in Rockridge: The Ocean Refuses No RIver

I'd like you all to know that weekly Soul Motion™-inspired classes have begun again, now at the intimate Jeffrey Bihr Studio in Oakland's groovy Rockridge district. We aspire to step afresh into each new day/dance/dream as it appears through and to us; recent weeks' inaugural sessions at JB have been a delight. Perhaps because I've been teaching a lot over the past while (subbing for Zuza on Tuesdays in Berkeley and ministering to Michael Stone's 5R community in Nevada City), or because the new space is smaller than the Temple in Pt. Richmond, I feel more grounded, open and spacious than I sometimes have in the past. Please join me and you and her and us and them and Just This each Thursday from 6:30-8:00 pm.

No Class This Week; See You September 3!


The Ocean Refuses No River, the Thursday night class I offer in Soul Motion-inspired movement practice, pauses this week. I'll be in the second module of Libido with Andrea Juhan later this week, is why (see link in this post's title). We return, renewed, on the first Thursday in September and beyond. Please join us.

I just returned from a rich weekend, teaching and holding space for Michael Stone's Nevada City 5R tribe. Life, death, love, sex, angel wash; cheeseburger salad!

Guess which happened on the dance floor, which off, which a fantasy; which?
love, michael z.

The Ocean Refuses No River: A Soul Motion™ Experience

I'd like you all to know that weekly Soul Motion™-inspired classes begin again, again this Thursday, August 13, 2009, at the intimate Jeffrey Bihr Studio in Oakland's groovy Rockridge district. We aspire to step afresh into each new day/dance/dream as it appears through and to us; last week's truly inaugural session at JB was a delight. Perhaps because I've been teaching a lot over the past few weeks (subbing for Zuza on Tuesdays in Berkeley and for Michael Stone's 5R community in Nevada City), or because the new space is smaller than the Temple in Pt. Richmond, I felt more grounded, open and spacious than I sometimes have in the past. Please join me and you and her and us and them and Just This each Thursday from 6:30-8:00 pm, for The Ocean Refuses No River.

The Ocean Refuses No River: A Soul Motion™ Experience, Thursdays in Pt. Richmond


dear footpath walkers,

expanding.
contracting.
opening.
closing.

what if we danced with it all,
on purpose, in community,
and gave ourselves to all that arose?
forgave ourselves when we faltered,
supported each other in our foibles,
took the risk that love demands?
come again, for the first time, to:
The Ocean Refuses No River
a Soul Motion™ Experience exploring our capacity for presence and passion through gentle, precise attention (and surrender) to all that moves us
this, and most every, Thursday 6 - 7:30 pm at
the divine Dakini Temple
235 Washington Ave, Point Richmond 94801
$10

dance the dance you were born to do
trust and share your gifts with like-minded souls
inspire and be inspired by everything around you
move with music, move in silence. listen inside and out. exalt. dance.
excellent access from the East Bay and Marin:
