2210 N. Pacific Street 7-8 pm
Free with admission to Flying Turtle Dance (8-10 pm)
Dancing, we have the opportunity to become more fully ourselves, to meet what arises in real time-- and evolve with it. This class guides us towards ever stronger commitment to moment-to-moment expression of Truth, while thriving in relationship with another. Honest and grounded facilitation invites and supports extended improvisational duets. Duets continue for long enough that the heart of their unique medicine can surface and surround. Feelings can flow, presence can get lighter, alignment with intrinsic well-being can become more clear. Appropriate for all levels of ability and disability.
