Soul Motion: Self-Empowerment
The reminder "we are enough" prevails throughout Soul Motion, and students are invited to sustain this attitude through the choices they make during the dance. In the body choir that is our unified dance, we learn that each has a role to play in the ultimate expression. This role includes reciprocal respect and appreciation for the unique perfection of each person within the diversity of the group, regardless of experience.

2010

When we dance rigidity mind in place of movement moment, we defer the life that is moving toward our living body.

In its’ place we substitute conditions and attachments to beliefs.

We dance formula instead of freedom.

We dance history while overlooking the mystery that surrounds.

We dance story rather than remaining available and open to surprise.


The everyday dance, which courses through living cells is a potent pulse in an infinite array of shifting life rhythm.

Life moves our way from many directions and calls with varying voices.


This enduring song of the living world is our accompaniment to the everyday dance.

It provides cadence and pace for all steps taken.

Remain still; the soul moves.


Our dance practice knows the ways of this choreography of the living world.

Our dance practice will pause and listen to the silence and shout the soul’s song.

Our dance practice moves as a spiraling center in all directions, simultaneously.

Our dance practice discerns real from memory moments.


The dance hall for the everyday dance is situated within every person we meet.

There is common union in family and throughout workplace.

There is common unity being danced throughout nations and across borders.

There is a mysterious living world dancing as an infinite, eternal, yes.
