Mine is the art of inspiring people to turn themselves inside out, transform their suffering into art, their art into awareness and their awareness into action
Gabrielle Roth
Image
To sweat is to pray, to make an offering of your innermost self. Sweat is holy water, prayer beads, pearls of liquid that release your past. The more you dance... the more you sweat, the more you pray. The more you pray, the closer you are to ecstasy.

My work is giving space - learning of its way and being in its service at the same time. We each have responsibility to express ourselves. And in this expression is the key to our healing.

Ride the energy of your own unique spirit.

Your soul is a seeker, lover and artist shape-shifting through archetypal energy, between your darkness and fields of light, your body and spirit, your heaven and hell, until you land in the moment of sweet surrender when you, as a dancer, disappear into the dance.

Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness.

The spirit in motion heals, expands, circles in and out of the body, moving through the layers of consciousness from inertia to ecstasy. Open to the spirit, and you will be transformed.

We have lost awe and wonder. In reference to the mystery of life itself, we've lost respect for movement in our planet.

Our soul, our true self, is the most mysterious, essential, and magical dimension of our being. In fact, it is not a separate reality, as traditional Western thought views it, but the cohesive force that unites our body, heart, and mind. It is not a ghost trapped somehow in the physical machinery of our body but the very essence of our being.
