Salt Spring Island-An Embodied Ecology Retreat

July 13, 2023 @ 9:00 am - July 17, 2023 @ 7:00 pm UTC+0

Held at our beautiful Salish Seas Retreat Centre overlooking the Sansum Narrows and at the base of forested hiking trails, we will move between here and the beautiful Antler Ridge Dance Studio in the forest near Cusheon Lake. We will gather for somatic movement classes, meditation, and will be led in somatic awareness workshops to aid communication, heighten creative power and expand our capacities and strength for leadership. Workshops with Dr. Martha Eddy aid our understanding of how to soothe our nervous systems and draw from a well of inner resources that can greatly enhance our experiences of being in the world. Guided embodied ecology practices with local somatic dance artists Dr. Seónagh Kummer and Robbyn Scott provide opportunities to explore the deep human yearning to belong. We belong through our connection with the earth and waters, and the source within. These in depth practices are complimented with meditation classes and guidances of Soto Zen Buddhist Priest Kristin Diggs enhance the inner journey to deepening our strength and bringing gentle awareness and love to the places within us that are disconnected. Salt Spring Island has been called "the coolest island in Canada" by The Washington Post and is reknowned as a destination for foodies, the many artists who live on the island, the bustling harbour town of Ganges, the unique shops and restaurants and the wonderful farm to table businesses. At another level, the island and landscape is healing. There is a miracle of presence, of being present and being held in the crevices of a landscape, the belonging of the earth and her waters. When you can hold this perspective you can awaken in yourself a grace of belonging. You inhabit the cascading and uplifting depths of your destiny and approach a hint of knowing and awakening light within you. A la carte offerings and packages with the option to choose on site accommodation or separate accommodations on the island provide the flexibility to piece together a healing weekend with plenty of spaciousness to enjoy the surrounding beauty of Salt Spring.

Global Water Dance

GLOBAL WATER DANCE

May 2, 2021 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm UTC+0

World Water Dance (May 2, 1:30pm-2:30pm) Poche Beach, 2771 N El Camino Real, San Clemente, CA 92672 Our dance draws attention to the global plastic waste crisis and its effects upon our oceans, mammals, birds and sea life in an interdependent ecosystem. On Poche beach where the dance takes place in San Clemente, California, we see waste problems occurring at the surface of the ocean when waste washes up to shore daily, and local people work diligently to remove the plastics, only to see it washing up again to litter the shoreline. Mismanaged waste remains on land, triggering public health crises among vulnerable communities. As we think beyond the beach we recognise and call for the urgent need for action to reduce plastic waste and find sustainable possibilities to finally end plastic pollution and address mismanagement of plastic waste. We are creating a film of our dance to be included in the Global Water Dances 2021 online festival, and we wish to use this film on an ongoing basis to help raise funds for a local environmental group who supports our goals. Global Water Dances is a movement that connects and supports a global community of choreographers and dancers to inspire action and international collaboration for water issues through the universal language of dance.
