(YOU WILL RECEIVE A LINK TO JOIN THE WORKSHOP ONE HOUR BEFORE IT STARTS)

Theme: Compost: Body Temple Dance for Letting Go.

The wisdom of compost invites us to turn what has served it's purpose into mulch for the preparation of fertile soil towards the next planting season.

What within you has fully served it's time and is ready to be let go and transformed into that which will serve your new cycle of growth?

It could be an inner part, a belief system, a way of being on this Earth, it could be a relationship or even a way of relating, to your self,to your body, to another, to the Earth, or maybe a way of relating to your Soul gifts or a way of running your business.

We don't often notice, but compost stands as a layer of thresholds, of what once was into the prosperous potentialities of new purpose and growth.

Bring your full radiant self to this BTD class, no matter what season of life you are in. There is always treasure to be sourced , and what we often discard for scraps is a holy participant in our internal transfiguration.

We will write and move in honor of the medicine of letting go, it is an honor to hold this brave space with you.

Come as you are love, imperfectly, resistant, hiding. All of you is welcome to this church of your holy body.

“I see you, soulful one.

“I see you, soulful one.  *

‘I’m just holding space,’ you say. As if you are not really ‘doing’ anything. 

I see you, touching the shame, the pain, the fear. Digging the foundations of your loving presence deeper and wider. 

I see you, willing to hold the world in your hands, not looking away from the darkness, not pretending to understand. 

I see you, stretching beyond easy answers, the mind-shutting rights and wrongs.

I see you, transformation leader. 

I see you stumbling on shaky legs after uprooting the old ways. Fumbling through the unknown to find a truer home. 

I see your soul surfacing, sharing its tender wisdom in the space you’ve washed clear with your own tears. 

I see your devotion to your own unfolding. The years of practice so you can just hold space 

as a ballerina just dances, as a soprano just sings, as a maestro just plays. 

I see you, embracing it all so you can just hold space for love.”

  • "I am seeing that focusing on my body sensations can give me a path to reconnect with my inner child and my SELF. I've been pressing myself into a tiny box for so long, I'm struggling to find her (me). This can be MY path!"

    AB

  • "My first time here. Loved it. Thank you. My body feels more open. Don’t know how else to describe it".

    Elizabeth

  • "Very powerful practice today. The calming touch was received deeply! Surrender… yes! So much gratitude to the mystery, the universe, Mother Earth, and You".

    GM

  • "Lots of aliveness in body and big release in womb area ."

    Piper

  • "This was my first time coming live and that was so insanely powerful. I wanted to talk about how shocked I was at how pleasurable it is -- every time i've done BTD so far and I feel like that almost freaks me out! But it's so interesting to feel such pleasure from my own movement and imagination."

  • “The class last week helped me open so much up in my shoulders, clavicle, chest, ribs and back. I moved muscles, joints, etc. that have been stuck for years. I can feel the hope that comes along with expansiveness again. Also, just taking time to do nothing has been heart opening. I don’t ever do nothing.”

    Kate Traecy

  • I just finished our class about love. I was able to process so much sadness around feeling unlovable and abandoment. I just cried and cried. Your class, the movement, music, and everything felt like it cracked me open in the best way. I am so grateful. Thank you. - P
