An Art in Motion online series where we move and write into and from the ritual space of liminality and myth.
We have been called to re-imagine the world, call back what we have sent to exile and co-create our mythical movement.
In each session we move through a particular mythical image. We dance paradoxical energies and explore othering with curiosity and compassion.
In its essence we find our offering to the world.
In times of hard separation, we humans are challenged to answer the call of the heart, to enter the underworld, the mythical imagination.
Theories and politics failed us, the mind further divides, emotions are out of control and communities are struggling to hold. So, we turn to the mythical body, to the ancestral wisdom of storytelling and move and write by the communal fire this winter.
Consciousness calls us to some outrageous action.
Hard times require furious dancing. Each of us is proof.
~ Alice Walker
How to nourish unity, when there is so much you feel opposed to?
How to love in the face of global violence & hurt?
How to live and breath, when others are given half a chance to survive?
How do you recognise the other within, when there is so much you disagree with?
No more freezing in the margins.
We find our ground and move in the center.
No more pointing fingers to the tyrants.
We dance and explore through the body.
No more staring into the light.
We put our back to the moon and follow the shadows.
It is easy to be Vassilisa the Beautiful,
but how does Baba Yaga moves through you?
You may identify with the Handless Maiden and the Hero,
but what is the dance of the Evil King?
“Have you come on your own volution or you were sent by someone?”, Baba Yaga asks at the gates of the other world. We have all learned the hard way that, a one sided and right answer will not satisfy her.
In a suffering world, humans are called to the in-between. righteousness no longer serves us. For the soul to ascend, the ego must descend.
We stop asking, where is our community,
we inquire, what the community needs from us.

TESTIMONIALS
Testimonials
“It’s unique what you do
and each time it’s different, which is really great, it’s always new.
I want to continue!”
“A good place to come when you are wounded.“
“I want to express my gratitude and wonder on how deep this session was. The texture of the music, the expertise and skills, the instructions you gave with the music… It was so progressive and I got into such a deep place, I never been there, really. it was amazingly healing. I was able to laugh, to cry and to release things I had never been able to. It was really shamanic work of immense quality and depth.”
from METAMORPHOSIS participants of Autumn 2024
