THE DANCING CENTER
on Substack

 

All my life, I’ve been a sleuth, a journalist for The Dance of Life. I’ve dug deep into its Wisdom and find it everywhere. Indigenous people around the world are the first to know and carry this Wisdom. Occasionally,  today, it makes the news with bylines in medicine, politics, religion, and business. 

Earth in The Great Dance faithfully fosters the resilience of individuals and groups who join Her ecstatic, contemplative, wholesome, and realizable way of being.

If you explore somatics, embodiment, art, spirituality, and justice,  thank you for being a co-conspirator. I welcome you to join The Dancing Center and me for inspiration and reflections that come directly to your inbox. It doesn’t cost you anything.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE DANCING CENTER for free ON SUBSTACK; if it inspires you, there’s an option for a monthly or annual contribution. PAID subscribers support dance chapels, and get deeper dives into the wisdom of body and Soul.

 

 Why I Write

Writing allows me to synthesize embodied revelations that occur along the spiritual byways of imagination, prayer, thought, and conversation. I love sharing with subscribers the resources, prayers, quotes, and art gleaned from my vast trove of research and contacts.

 

Here are three unpublished essays on living as a creative, dancing, and sensitive mystic that you might enjoy.
