In the candlelit temple
of my heart,
I worship silence
and possibility.
I worship solitude
and simplicity.
It’s a small place,
unadorned.
No priest or goddess,
only a quiet
invitation
to become.
Just to become.
To become
unarguably
who I am.
To gather
the congregation
of my interior life,
welcome them all,
just as they are.
Sit together
with myself
on the floor
of my heart
until someone
starts to dance.
~Penny Hackett-Evans
I share my expertise and theories for navigating sensitivity and mental health demands in a time of evolutionary change and extreme demands. My thoughts are especially concerned for youth and young adults as they navigate unprecedented initiations or what I think are Soul Emergencies. See the note below this video
Stephen Porgas writes in The Polyvagal Theory that “to connect and co-regulate with others is our biological imperative. We experience this imperative as an inherent quest for safety that can be reached only through successful social relationships. In which we co-regulate our behavior and physiology.”
African wisdom teacher Malidome Patrice Some wrote in The Healing Wisdom of Africa: Finding Life Purpose Through Nature, Ritual and Community, “without a ritual structure, people undergoing a natural emergence of spirit within often feel as if they are going crazy or are imagining things…community provides a safety net in which a person can rest until he or she has become reintegrated.”
REST UNTIL SHE OR HE HAS BECOME REINTEGRATED>. Yes, more rest is needed for us all.
The Sacred Dance Guild initiated me into my life’s work. I’m forever grateful and happy to lead one of their upcoming Guild Sacred Sundays on zoom.
The Sacred Dance Guild serves as a “spiritually diverse, international, non-profit organization with a commitment to advocate for dance as a sacred art and to promote dance as a means of spiritual growth and integration of mind, body and spirit.” They describe sacred dance as “any type of dance that is done with an intention to connect with or communicate something about the sacred, however that may be understood by the dancer or the choreographer.”
February 13, 2022- 4:30 pm pacific/7:30 pm EST – check local times!!
In their free, weekly SACRED SUNDAY online gatherings, dancers can be “Socially Present” while “Physically Distant“! The live-from-our-living room-sessions are free, informal, intimate and interactive sharings.
I will introduce Dance: The Sacred Art of Ensoulment” under the theme of Attunement.
Join a journey of discovery as we honor body and soul and tap into four artful wisdoms that align humans to the sacred in all things, no matter what! In the dance we’ll welcome our spiritual support, creative birthrights, divine purpose, and a way to bow to suffering by dancing on behalf of one another.
To register email pres@sacreddanceguild.org with “Sacred Sunday – Ensoulment” in the subject line.
The InterPlay-based practices are found in Dance: The Sacred Art: The Joy of Movement as Spiritual Practice.
