As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than wrong with you.

As long as we are both breathing, we are more alike in our bodies than different.

Dancing Guidelines
-
We dance with respect for ourselves, the sacred space, and each other. We use the word sacred with reference to the awe inspiring wisdom or deeper knowing within each of us beyond conceptual thought that is deeply respected in each of us and so too in the space we co-create. Each person's embodied voice and presence are essential - see General Ceremony Guidelines for support around how to respectfully share your embodied voice and presence and decline invitations to share.
-
We dance honouring the sanctity, confidentiality and privacy of the space. Audio/Video recording or photographs/screen shots are absolutely prohibited.
-
We dance exactly as we are, with bare consciousness and without substances, without phones, without judgements.
-
We dance by showing up, meeting each moment of life in our bodies, exactly as life is and exactly as we are. This includes any expression through dance, whether full expansion to the edges of the body’s motion, complete stillness, tiny inner movements, journal writing, doing another art form during the trip or witnessing others with playful love and wonder.
-
We dance with body language. We dance without words to support a fully embodied meditation, free from conceptualizing thoughts. There is no verbal instruction from the facilitator. Vocalizations, including laughing or crying are so welcome.
-
We dance with bare feet, unless we have physical conditions that require footwear. We dance without shoes to connect deeply with the earth.
-
We dance with cameras on, with full permission to be out of frame by turning the camera, moving out of view or dimmed lights, allowing for us to be seen in exactly the way we are ready to be seen.
-
We dance to a sacred musical trip that is wavelike nature, emulating the stages of life, beginning with sounds of gentle stillness in holding life’s emergence, then sounds of flowing or walking the twists and turns of life’s path, then peaking in intensity before slowly returning to stillness. Notice whether you like or dislike a song and consider staying present with your body either way, supporting, holding and accompanying your body by feeling its experience and emotions, filtering out the sound, moving in opposition to the music or being still and breathing.​
General Ceremony Guidelines
-
Every moment of the ceremony is voluntary, including both verbal and non-verbal shared embodied presence practices during opening and closing circle. To respectfully decline collective verbal practices, say pass. To respectfully decline collective non-verbal practices, bring your palms together vertically and tip them forward. To respectfully share verbally or non-verbally, use the raise hand function on Zoom or respond to the real-time prompt/guidance by the facilitator.
-
Aside from the opening and closing circle, this is non-verbal practice where together we play and experiment with speaking in body language. The facilitator too will only speak to offer guidance or journal prompts/practices during opening circle, prelude to the dance and closing circle. We welcome this sacred experience as it is and create space for more verbal sharing, feedback and questions after the ceremony.
-
In sharing and receiving non-verbally and verbally, everything is confidential and remains in the ceremony. Absolutely no audio/video recording or screenshots/photographs.
-
Speak for your own experience, with minimal personal story. None of us are broken so there's nothing to fix. Consider that your receiving of verbal and non-verbal sharing from others and your embodied presence are your greatest offerings to each person walking their own unique path. You may inwardly recite the mantra, "We're accompanying each other into aliveness," or "We're all just walking each other home," to remember the intentions of this practice.
-
Be mindful of speaking time and allow a moment of silence (full breath) between speakers. This shows respect, honours the practice of accompanying through embodied receiving and allows space for everyone to process the verbal or non-verbal sharing and for the speaker to experience the profound benefits of being received in collective embodiment. We can only offer to others what we perceive, through present and shared embodied experiences, that we have received ourselves.
-
No virtual space can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. This ceremony is held via Zoom Pro for Healthcare, optimizing privacy and confidentiality. The meeting is locked and waiting room closed at 6pm.
