Teatime Traveller: Look Down~

About Nao's Dance Classes

CREATIVE MOVEMENT FOR WOMEN

LIVING RITUAL

To dance freely is to begin to release material that cannot be accessed through the vehicle of the intellect. If we let our minds rest for a while and let the wisdom body lead us, something profound can happen. What occurs is a kind of healing that has to do with connecting the heart with the head, and the body with the soul.

Dance is something that human beings have been doing since the beginning of time. Honest expression in the form of dance is deeply rooted in the nature of who we are. Creative movement can be a transformative experience that can lead to upsurges of emotion, and these feelings are doorways to deeper understanding. Our task is to help ourselves and each other to listen and be, without the obstructions of a judging mind and the paralyzing effects of self-consciousness. From here, an awareness opens and the territory of transformation is realized.

In Nao's Classes we look to the earth for guidance.

We ask the elemental energies of earth, water, fire, and air, to support us, as we journey inward, and then outward, toward relating to one another.

These classes are open to all women who feel inspired by this form. There is no previous dance experience necessary, just an open mind and a willingness to experience oneself moving freely for a while.

Look Down~

This morning, the sun came out. I was outside, below the cherry tree, having a word with the tiny shoots of green dotting the earth. When I noticed these two beauties, giving themselves to the morning light. Don't they just make everything okay?

Gus, was there too, quietly watching me bend down to welcome our first petaled friends into the world. It was a good morning.
