the light, trance, solstice

blog 12:09 2we danced in the light,

we danced with the light,

and with the darkness,

we connected, with ourselves and each other

let us shine

our tribal trance night was a glowing spectacular, and Myla Stauber shares her words again, so eloquent and deep, as we all took our dance and word journeys…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

busy women who dance through darkness and start laughing
the sound tinkling in my heart
the sound of the thin
veil around around my heart shattering
their laughter
gets in
and the one inside

One more thing, and then some more

winter snow-blogSo many thoughts going through my brain this morning, sipping on my coffee, while the day comes into view. Making my lists for the day, and the week, with plans for the coming year. Today brings the longest night, darkness.

Can you reflect in the darkness, upon yourself, and your past year, and where you are?

On my farmette, it is very dark out here. I love it. No sreetlights, no cars,no neighbors. Dark. We have hung some colorful lights in the house and around the patio. Twinkling in the...

dancing with grace

I mentioned in my last enewsletter that I had something to say about country line-dancing and tribal, comparing the two, or maybe it is about experiencing them both. I was recently in Ohio visiting my mother and sister. My mom, who is 83, rocks hard! She takes several dance classes weekly, sings with a bunch of bluegrass guys, and is learning to play the auto harp. Nothing slows her down.

Of course I go dancing with her whenever I can, and she joins in my bellydance classes when she comes to v...

Tribal Trance, water reflections…

ocean

Last month we had such a lovely tribal trance dance night, and as I  prepare for this week's session, I delight in sinking into and reflecting back into that night when we danced with the element of water. Water, for me, is so healing and soothing. One of my favorite outings is to go to the ocean and watch and listen to the waves, sometimes so dipping and peaceful, others so loud, angry and thrashing, with a million ways in between. It can sooth my soul, as I stand and just breathe in the...

One More Thing–make a difference

I think it is time to remember that everything we do makes a difference, some good, some bad. Everything…

You dance, you think, you teach, you eat, you read, you share, you create, you do the dishes. It all matters. If we spend just a few extra minutes thinking about  what or whom we are touching in our day to day lives, we make a difference. We can change that too, correct it, recycle it, watch it, talk about it, share some more, and make more of a difference.

But also remember, take care of y...

Gypsy Spectacular, a newspaper clipping

Gypsy Spectacular

by Wendy Shortman / Vanguard staff

Gypsies: Jingly outfits and swirling skirts are all part of the package when you see Gypsy Caravan's celebration of tribal dance.

You may have heard of them. You may have seen them, but this is the kind of show you can't see just once. Inspired by, and based on "different styles of Middle Eastern dance, flamenco, Indian classical dance and modern dance," as explained by the founder of the Gypsy Caravan Dance Company herself, Paulette...
