In Cycles we use our movement practice to study the most essential relationships of our lives. Who are the people and events that have shaped us? What challenges and gifts did they leave us? How do we honor our unique history without being ruled by it? These questions help us navigate the tasks inherent in each cycles of life. We illuminate our learned habits of relating and pry ourselves off our own rigid ideas of who we are and who we are not. In this way we learn to ask the real question; not “What is the meaning of life?” but “What is the meaning of my life”?

Our organic map will be the movement from birth to childhood, through puberty into maturity, to be ready for our eventual death. This yearlong group is a place to transform our wounds into art, our lifelong patterns into perspective. This then frees us to relax into the strength and beauty of our distinctive contribution to this world.

Module 1: Grounding - June 14-17, 2012
In becoming who we are, the particular circumstances of our birth, childhood and parenting are the most catalytic ingredients. We will look at where the ground we were given still wobbles today, and where it has taught us to stand in strength.

Module 2: Centering - June 13 - 16, 2013
Moving into puberty, we try on personas like styles of clothes: rejecting, imitating, rebelling, conforming. To the extent that we live this task fully, we start to make our most potent, unique contribution to the world – the cornerstone of our maturity.

Module 3: Expanding - June 6 - 9, 2014
As death appears on the horizon, we learn to use its presence to release all but that which is most precious to us. This reckoning frees us from what holds us here and expands us into what is truly essential.
