Soul Motion Odyssey

Every Sunday *

journey through the relational landscapes of

Self, Other, Community and the Divine

Soul Motion is an inquiry into movement as meditation and medicine.

This ecstatic dance form supports our exploration of the dance that "feels good"

rather than the dance that "looks good". Through a blend of music and silence,

movement and stillness, we quiet the mind and awaken the body. Paula's inspirations

offer the opportunity to deepen and expand the possibilities of creative

expression.

Whether you dance every day, or haven't danced in years -- join us.

Whether you love dance or fear dance -- join us.

All levels of movement experience and abilities are welcome.

Children are welcome on Sundays too!

10:30 - Noon, SomaSpace, 4050 NE Broadway, PDX, $10 - $15 sliding

* Potluck for the People after dance on 1st Sundays.

Have your Dance and eat your Cake too! 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

Mindful Movement

Every Thursday

deep silence. rich sound. minimal beat. infinite possibilities.

when you prefer e-vocative sound over pro-vocative music ...

when you connect with your own heartbeat more than the bass-beat ...

when you desire a space and place to feel the texture and fill the void ...

join us for an early morning e-a-s-e into the day

These sessions include dancing and journaling.

We move to creative, spacious music as a gateway to writing the whispers of the body.
