Soul Motion: Creative Expression
Soul Motion provides a supportive environment, encouraging each student to experiment and freely express their unique dance with both structure and open-ended permission as guides. When moving in the space/time field, students require landmarks and intervals to shape the dance. Respected as movement artists, students are encouraged to re-arrange the familiar, stay open to surprise, and grow in perception and expression.

A Dark Night. As the darkness increases in its visibility, I am left in this cloud of unknowing. What is next? I am holding to the belief that the night is always followed by the light. I am ready to embrace the intimacy of sound and silence,knowing that the sound is shaped by the silence. Doing is shaped by Being. These are times of uncertainty. I am feeling abandoned and alone. What is there to do? "be still and know that I am God" I too, like nature, am growing darker,moment to moment. I recognize that the winter solstice is approaching and know that soon the light will begin to increase in its brilliance. How am I doing? I am encouraged to trust the silence and stillness inherent in the dark. The Latin word for listen,odidare,literally means "to obey". Being still inside is the purest form of listening,vulnerably listening for God through the silence. So I turn in my dance to the right and to the left, turning to the Holy One through sound and silence, dark and light, knowing that both directions reveal the same Heart. I know that this Heart beats closer to me than my own heart.

be well
