small dreams x big pleasure
there were a few "small dreams" i`ve had over the last 7 years (after moving to berlin). one was to be confident riding a bike around the city of berlin. when the time was right my wonderful @kateloujones 💯 helped me kick-start this small dream. forever grateful.
It`s amazing that I still tap into a young more playful part of myself when i`m on the bike. still somewhat protected from the rushed berlin bikers all about getting to the front of the red lights and speeding through the city on big missions.
It`s rippled out into some beautiful connection moments that I hadn`t planned like with my parents who rode bikes through the city with me last year 🎉.like riding through Vienna with my man and now a 70km+ cycle through the country side and small towns.
we all have different behavior stretches. My guideline is to start small - to start with micro stretches so they may grow and weave bigger threads.
.
.
.
.
.
it`s been quite a different type of summer for me this year, and i can`t wait to start sharing space with you all on the dance floors for Saturday night x-dances (starting sept 14) and in more workshop spaces - 4 more workshops this year
(the most i`ve offered so far) ⭐️
PS my years-old DJ dream is in process of realization - 1 gigs so far this year with my DJ profile going up on resident advisor last week. 🦄 🖤

Stillness is the most fascinating rhythm to me, the one that cannot be quite named.
Any meeting of spirit is deeply personal, arising from both within and beyond ourselves.
Available to us at any moment yet I most often profoundly feel with sweat dripping down my face, a radiant heart beat and a willingness to meet the depths of being. Sometimes moving fast with incantations from the center of my being or so slow I’m not sure if I’ve moved at all.
Always listening,
listening,
listening,
for the infinite mystery.

At x-dance last Saturday, we explored the themes of size. both physically and energetically.
Most all of us have been conditioned in some form or another on how to take up space. Gender-based or culturally influenced. Based on familial values or experiences. We might be been told certain things like "sit with your legs closed" or "you have to own the room to be heard" (or or or...). We picked up how other people moved or took up space to create boxes and rules for ourselves on what is socially acceptable. What will get us liked? What will give us safety? What will help is fit in or stand out because belonging is too painful.
And so, we took the experiment to the body which holds a hell of a lot of stories, yet when given permission in safety, curiosity and non-judgement provides a depth of wisdom ..... indeed, we are right sized. we can make choices on what levels of space and energy feels true in different moments, giving space for ourselves and each other. raw vulnerable expression.
sometimes, these seemingly micro experiments are the radical shifts i, you, we, us need.
for me ......one area is feeling at ease in that right sized shape on social media and in front of the camera .... well, it`s ongoing (although i don`t think i was camera shy when i was so very young .... hmmm).
so, here`s to more dancing. next class this Saturday, June 29. ✏️Register via link in bio

grief. she calls to be danced. and when the stuckness comes, she calls more vehemently. the personal grief. the collective grief. the small grief. the big grief. the ongoing grief.she will be danced, and open fear, anger, sadness. all into the heart. all in the language of the soul.
and so, when i don`t know what or how or when or why in these moments. i remember to dance grief. (even with a still to-be-healed calf*)
through it all, hopelessness alchemises into hope. devastation into creativity. living into art.
