The Dance of the True Human

What is it to be “truly human” in a time of mass dehumanization?  Can we expand and evolve the collective body of humanity by being more truly ourselves?  What is the gift of this being human and how do we practice honoring it, every day, in every way, at every turn of the wheel of time?  

We’re living in a time of so much forgetting, so much that dehumanizes us— war, AI, the greed of billionaires, the willful and ongoing destruction of our planet home, the othering of siblings, friends and neighbors.  It’s not just dehumanizing when it happens to us, it dehumanizes each of us when it happens to any of us anywhere in the collective.  Slowly, bit by bit, more and more of us is chipped away.  These are violations on a deep level, of the body and soul.  We can turn away, distract, numb, bypass, and so often we do.  But what happens when we turn toward these energies?  When we engage all that attempts to unmake us, and reclaim what MAKES us who we really are— our creativity, the miracles of our embodiment, our connections with one another and with the earth?  What happens when we investigate— in our bodies, what it feels like to be human, together?  What happens when we reclaim it, restore it, and relish it?  We become what we were always made to be— True Humans.  

Each week we’ll dance one of the 7 movements in the EVOLVE Arc— Enter, Explore, Engage, Expand, Evolve, Emerge and End.  We’ll follow the natural contractions and expansions of this human life.  We’ll emerge anew, the dancing, embodied way, in community of seeker souls committed to liberated love.  

Enter the Human 

Explore this One Embodiment 

Engage what’s  most True (in you) 

Expand into Collective truth  

Evolve as True Humans 

Emerge as One 

End and begin again 

This series begins at the Fall Equinox, following the path of the season.  Like the leaves, we release what was to allow for the new that wants to be born.  We dance in communion with the cycles and seasons of the earth, learning our deepest lessons held in the great Body of Earth Wisdom.  Join us.

Whole Series OR Per Class? While it’s always an option to come per class, consider making a full-series commitment to yourself.  Past dancers have shared this makes a huge difference— you get to enter the dance more as a practice, engaging all the various movements of the EVOLVE SoulDance Arc.  You get to witness what evolves within yourself and the collective.  It can become a whole new experience and growing edge to engage the dance in this way!  You also receive consistent connection with our dancing community, which adds another layer of sweetness.
