Pillars of Practice
We seek to foster personal and collective growth through classes and events that emphasize the following pillars of practice:

Creative Expression
"Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties."
— Erich Fromm
We all have great creative potential, yet often have learned to dampen this natural impulse. As we learn to allow ourselves to express freely with a spontaneous, playful spirit, aliveness naturally follows.

Embodied Presence
"Come back to the life of movement!"
— Irmgard Bartenieff
Our physical bodies are our first and primary home - the place of our sovereignty and agency. By honoring our bodies and breath, which live in the present moment, we can transmute stress and stuck energy into vitality.
Rooted Reverence
"The web of life both cradles us and calls us to weave it further."
— Joanna Macy
We each live within a context that precedes us, that is greater than us. When we honor our common roots together - our ancestors, the Earth, the web of life - we can ground in wisdom and rest in gratitude. Drawing strength and inspiration from this ground of being, we rise renewed.
