Passage...
the act or process of passing from one place or condition to another.
a path, channel or opening.
a four-week, free-form dance class exploring mid-life themes beginning Tuesday, March 6th.
You are not having a crisis. You're in the middle of your journey. You're different now than you were a few years ago. Or maybe you're not any different and yet you feel at this time in your life you should be different. Or maybe you don't want anything to be different, but deep down inside you know changes are happening within you and all around you.
Midlife. You're not so young any more and you're not elderly. You're in between those two places and if you're like me, there's a lot going at this point in your head, body, spirit and in your life overall. While I'm not exactly sure what age it was when I knew I had reached that middle point, I do know I denied it for a long time. I'll also admit there are days when I still shake my head wondering how I got to be forty-three years old so damn quickly.
I've created this series because I not only want to explore my own issues and concerns regarding midlife, but I feel there's a need (for those of us who have reached this time in our lives) to connect on a more intimate level with one another regarding our significance; in our own lives and in the world at large. My intention is to provide a moving and inspiring shared experience in which dance and conversation give us many opportunities to feel courageous, confident, supported, and loved.
What kind of themes will the series be exploring?
Each week the class will center around a particular theme. Awareness. Resistance. Acceptance. Wholeness. From these themes, these places...I promise you many more will spring forth. Read a few of the following words and take a moment to really feel them.
Word cloud made with WordItOut
How do these words resonate within you? If they stir you up, good. More than likely, this series is ideal for you and I encourage you to register. If they don't make you feel much, move along. This series is best for those who are feeling both the delight and the dislike of being in the middle place.
What might happen as a result of taking this series?
You will be heard and witnessed in a safe and supportive environment.
Your dance will expand and deepen in new ways.
You'll remember it's all about the journey and yours is like no other.
You'll know you're not alone and you're in good company.
General merriment, sweet connection and many meaningful moments.
