October was quite a potent month for me and I`m so grateful for the dances and workshops we co-create together. Practices in meeting ourselves and each other more fully. Opportunities to drop deeper than the surface level "crazy" that the world seems to be.
Let`s meet ourselves x each other as the incredible forces that we are.

Because I am so not "insta" on instagram .... here is a set (from 2 years ago) for my dearest Lucie`s big birthday.
♡ such an exquisite time with many memories of dance, dance, dance and love ♡
Timing of this spontaneous post feels so ripe. @luciemac wishing you so much abundance and magic for your next big transition.

In honor of transitions, in reverence for the thinning of the veil between the seen, and the unseen. What a deeply special time of the year we are heading towards (northern hemisphere).
We will use the inherent nature of the 5Rhythms map as an invitation to step through a portal and dance between the seen and unseen.

Markus and I celebrated our 10th year anniversary last week, and as part of our celebration, we dreamed up this couples` series ❤️🔥 This series is curated for a small, intimate group of 4 couples (8 people in total) to allow for us to enter a process together.
After this decade together, we would like to share our creative process with you all that is also rooted in our professional training, and my ongoing work with couples in private sessions.
_Movement
_Games and sharing
_Touch and erotic play within the partnership
We`ve chosen this specific format of a series to allow for fluidity of exploration, integration and practice.

As the nights draw in and autumn invites us to turn towards ourselves, come and gather for an evening of movement, music and connection 🖤🔥
Samhain marks a seasonal threshold, a time to honour what has been, acknowledge what is ending and make space for what is still taking shape. As the world around us slows and the trees release their leaves, we’re invited to notice what we might be ready to lay down, and what we want to carry with us into the darker months.
For this Samhain Dance, held at Chinley Community Centre, @sallyeccleston_ and I invite you to bring whatever you’re arriving with into the dance - the joy, the tiredness, the grief, the fire - and give it room to move, without needing to explain it or make it look a certain way.
Through music and movement, we’ll gather to honour the season, follow the impulses of our bodies and feel the warmth of being together as we move towards winter.
A space to honour what’s ending, listen to what’s stirring and feel the warmth of being together as we move into the darker months.
There are no steps to learn and no dance experience needed, just an invitation to follow your own rhythm, with space to pause and rest whenever you wish.
🌙 Wednesday 4th November
🕯️ 6:45 - 9pm · Chinley
✨ With @sallyeccleston_ & @samarlinn
Come as you are. Let’s meet on the dance floor. Really hope you can join us. 💞💞💞

How often does our binary thinking attach to giving OR receiving? That both-and don`t or can`t happen?
The dance inevitably shatters any of my either-or illusions.
When I hold space, I am deeply, and gratefully, aware that as I "give", I receive in equal measure.
Giving and Receiving:
Inspiration. Energy.
Spaciousness.
Permission. Presence.
Embodiment. Integrity.
Fullness of Being.
Dearest you in the Digital Ether, here is a 5Rhythms wave as an invitation to dance your own either-or illusions.

Whether you struggle with addiction, compulsive habits, codependency, emotional dependency, work addiction, perfectionism, people-pleasing, substance use, or recognize patterns that no longer serve you that you cannot stop, healing begins with curiosity rather than judgment.
The KIX Project is rooted in a special and specific format that combines cognitive (brain), somatic (body), emotional (heart) and spirited (mystery / universe / goddexx) elements to help you understand the deeper roots of addictive and compulsive patterns.
_5Rhythms® Dance
_ Somatic Practices
_ Expressive Arts
_ Group inquiry
Rather than focusing on willpower alone, we explore why addictive behaviors develop, what needs they attempt to meet, and how to cultivate healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
This retreat offers time away from daily life to reconnect with your body, develop practical recovery tools, and experience the support of a compassionate, organic community walking similar paths.
No previous experience is required.

This summer, I had my first "Urlaub auf Balkonien".
I played with a very happy fox in Wannsee (I love foxes), I felt my feet in the (non-glass strewn) grass for long, slow-mo meditative walks, I was entranced by a spider (again!) and watched it weave the most beautiful web for a long time.
As I watched this spider weave this huge web between two trees across a "human footpath", I was moved to tears by its delicate work. I have a special place in my heart for spiders. How marvelously intricate their webs are, how diligently they work and then rest and wait. How many times in their life they weave and weave again, after webs are destroyed by weather, other creatures, humans ....
Spiders don`t ever say "Not again! I`m not going to try to rebuild again, I`m done." Or "I put all this hard work into building my home and it`s ruined. That`s not fair." Or "I`ve done this too many times."
Spiders are a power animal (as are all animals in their inherent wisdom) that give me an uuuumf when I get stuck in "I don`t wanna try again" thinking.
I didn`t wake up to any alarms on this Urlaub, I didn`t "work" (with all my various streams of work, it`s very rare I`m off everything). My brain rested, I didn`t adhere to linear time. I saw friend`s spontaneously. Markus and I wandered around the city and parks with no plans, no agendas and no practical conversations.
(Indie did spend some days with one of his human favs in Bayern, too).

A few weeks ago, Markus and I offered our 4th annual CLOSER Retreat, a 5Rhythms x Er0tic Exploration to open up space inside ourselves and in connection to each other. This year`s theme was "My Other Sides", an inquiry into our er0tic personas.
By inviting the possibly for er0ticism to arrive without relegating it to s3x, we are always touched by the depth of vulnerability, feelings, organic connection and vibrant creativity that emerges.
Some people come back each year and what an extra gift it is to witness their process over the time. One asked how do I develop the yearly installations which are inevitably different and always co-creative.
Quite simply, I open myself to the creative process without trying to understand what the "outcome" will be. Staying present and relaxed in the unfolding, never being "nervous" about not knowing, deeply trusting in the creative process and the juicy aliveness of Spirit bursting through each person.
