Image
I believe in the power of motion, the wisdom of gravity, the emptiness of true love, the fact that there is no way out but through the body, no way up unless we all go together, no way down unless we follow the beat, no way in unless we embrace the dark.

Image
Each of us is a moving center, a space of divine mystery. And though we spend most of our time on the surface in the daily details of ordinary existence, most us hunger to connect to this space within, to break through to bliss, to be swept away into something bigger than us.

We're constantly changing and any practice meant to serve our authenticity should reflect our fluid nature.

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.

I want to take you to a place of pure magic... It's the place athletes call the zone. Buddhists call satori and ravers call trance. I call it the Silver Desert. It's a place of pure light that holds the dark within it. It's a place of pure rhythm.
