Transitions Vol.3

I really don't have the words to describe my full experience curating and then playing this set for Denman Dance Temple. I can say that I went in feeling tired, a bit nervous and having some imposter syndrome. But... I got out of my head, dropped into my heart and I trusted my experience and intuition. I know I can't please everyone but the feedback was very good and tears were shed. 

I am thankful to Erin O'Brien and Riane DaSilva for curating this event, rentals and promotion and for holding space....The Denman Dance Temple Team! 
~~~

Here are the bits and pieces that showed up before the event and the words that I had written as well that I shared before the event.... 

*Tender Beginnings by Caroline Miskenack

Blush is the air of morning. Tender are its hands 
that lift your eyes to see the gravity of innocence pulling you toward acceptance 
So that you may remember 
your inherent goodness. So that you may begin, again. 

~~~ 

Then, these words came out of me and I posted it to Facebook and IG to help promote the event: 

Exceptional leaders don't impart just vision, rather they cultivate the emergence of vision.
~Sudha Murty

I wouldn't call myself an exceptional leader but I do like curating, cultivating and co-creating spaces and events where we can come to-gather and share our visions, our voice, our energy. 

In community we find the courage to show up, we listen, we activate, we grow, we co-create and hopefully we begin shifting paradigms.

We change narratives, we stand for things.

We speak for those who can't, we dance for freedom.

Today is a new day to emerge.

Denman Dance Temple: Super Charged Spring Emergence
~~~ 

What does the theme "Emergence" mean to me?

When I imagine the word emergence I think of a seed being planted in fertile soil. I see and feel the rain. And soon a little sprout emerges. The sun shares its love, heat and energy to call the little sprout upward.

Invitation: 

Today, I wonder who has been cultivating and preparing the soil? 
Who is planting seeds? 
And who has already been emerging, growing, blossoming?
Whose Soul may simply be in a liminal space? 

~~~ 

Let's dance each other home... starting with ourselves. 

If you like what you hear, I'd love a heart and / or share / repost. 
Comments on the mix really help to get the music out there too. Thank you.
