This last new moon of the year (and Winter Solstice) is
inviting us to slow down, get quiet and tune into the truth that
is already within us. This is not the energy of performing or
proving, but of presence. Of turning inward, dropping deep and
trusting the process.
The good news is that the body has a built in mapping system to
guide us in the dark. Bodies are designed to sense, adjust and
survive change. Long before we had plans, beliefs, or language,
we had somatic intelligence that oriented us is relationship to
all of life. And these maps are still within us...
-our sensations give us real time information and feedback about
what is happening now so that we can move and respond from a
place of power.
-the nervous system protects us by scanning for safety and
tracking our capacity to navigate uncertain terrain.
-creative movement allows us to learn and grow by through small
actions and experiments. It is through this practice we cultivate
the capacity to try something different.
-embodiment helps us discern between what is real and perceived.
Noticing the quality of sensation helps us differentiate between
projective signals and conditioned anxiety.
-rhythms help release tension and recover the body from stress,
trauma and conditioning by calming the nervous system, regulating
hormones, and detoxing stored tension.
-learning to trust the body through its natural cycles and
changes helps us build trust for the broader cycles we are a part
of.
This new moon is an invitation to practice presence over
performance. It is the courage to let truth emerge without
control or approval. Truth does not arrive at some destination
but dwells in the in-between and uncertain. This is an initiation
into the dark underworld where we turn towards the unseen and
everything is revealed. Over the next few weeks, we'll be
reflecting and ritualizing the transition between where we are
coming from and where we are going. Check it out 👇

The work of collective liberation is inside and outside,
individual and collective, personal and political. It understands
that the practice of unlearning is not just an intellectual
pursuit but a whole bodied inquiry. It calls us to confront old
and limiting stories and beliefs we carry in our tissues and
bones, to disrupt and release default behavioral and response
patterns, to question our attachment and addiction to the
comforts promised by dominant culture, and to explore new ways of
being and doing.
Movement for the Movement
( [link removed] ) is a
free form embodied experience designed to disrupt old patterns,
release stuck energy and allow us to discover freedom and
expression. Guided by our senses, intuition and creativity, we
will explore a movement language that goes beyond expectations
and unlocks our creative potential. It will be an ecstatic and
cathartic experience of the body, mind and soul.
Join us THIS FRIDAY 12/19 (9aPST/12pEST) for shared movement,
reflection, grief and action towards the more liberated and
peaceful world that we all deserve.

Winter Solstice
( [link removed] )
marks the longest night of the year—the moment when darkness is
most complete and the turning toward light quietly begins. This
practice is an invitation to move inward, to rest from
performance, and to listen to what has been waiting beneath the
surface. Together, we enter the dark - not to fix or bypass - but
to honor what is ending, grieve what has been lost, and compost
the stories that no longer serve. Through reflection, stillness,
and embodied presence, we tend the small but enduring spark
within—trusting that new life begins its gestation here, in the
quiet, before the light returns.
Join us THIS SUNDAY 12/21 (9aPST/12pEST) for a FREE solstice
ritual and practice.
