Coalessence Dance w Dj Sheena Medicina ~Dip into the Divine~

Hi Dancers, Please join Coalessence Dance in welcoming Dj Sheena Medicina This Sunday morning March 1st To The Wow Hall, 291 w 8th Ave. Eugene. Doors open 9:00 Yoga and Dance warmup with Joanna Cashman 9:15-10:00 Music 10:00-12:20 ♥ Dj Sheena Medicina Shares: I have been dancing for as long as I can remember, and as I continue to move through life I find that I continually return to the dance floor to excavate through the layers of story and self, going ever deeper into the great soul of the divine. I invite you all to take a journey into the infinite wisdom that only YOUR BODY knows, be that bliss, grief, ecstasy, or rest. I am inspired by this quote from a book that I am currently reading, which speaks to one of the driving principles of why I dance and why I offer the musical journey for others to explore. “Pleasure is the point. Feeling good is not frivolous, it is freedom.” ~ Adrienne Maree Brown From Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good This Sunday I'll be cooking up a fresh mix of uplifting soundscapes with hints of cumbia, twerk, bass, pop, psychedelic downtempo, tribal electronica, house, organic & world beats, with plenty of funk & throwback tracks. Dance your medicine! ♥ Joanna Shares about Pre-Dance Warm-up. Come explore the cross-lateral movement pattern through yoga and dance. This pattern strengthens corpus callosum connectivity of right and left brain hemispheres. It’s like couples counseling inside your brain. These movement explorations will help you to reclaim more of your amazing inter-hemispheric abilities. A great way to warm up your whole body and brain before the dance. About Joanna: Joanna’s deep commitment to investigating dance, yoga, and somatic studies led her to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree in Dance from Arizona State University, and certifications in Dancing Mindfulness, Integrative Yoga Therapy and the Evans Somatic Dance Technique. As a DJ she is committed to creating diverse acoustic journeys that include the richness of many genres, time periods, and cultures. Her alchemical soundscapes invite you to dive into deep somatic terrain along a wide emotional spectrum. Joanna has facilitated ecstatic dances for over 30 years and co-founded dances in Bend, OR, Tucson, AZ and Olympia, WA. Her greatest joy is to inspire others to find their own somatic voice through embodied creativity. She loves witnessing how the power of music, dance, yoga liberate the wisdom of the body, heal the psyche and illuminate the spirit. She currently directs the Radiant Health Yoga® teacher training program at Lane Community College. Examples of her creative work can be viewed on her YouTube channel “Joanna Cashman Dance.” For More information visit www.JoannaCashman.com ♥ Blessings, Joanna Cashman with warmup Dj Sheena Medicina with Music https://soundcloud.com/sheenamedicina/ Paul facilitating Zoe Werthamer at the door Dela Patterson as greeter Fiona Julian creating the altar Rebekah Albert as House Tender Artwork by Michael Divine https://www.visionaryartsfoundation.org/michael-divine/ https://visionlabart.com/collections/michael-divine/art ••• AN IMPORTANT NOTICE ••• In response to the potential spreading of The Corona Virus (COVID-19) • Please wash your hands diligently • before entering the space and be particularly mindful about coming to dance if you feel these symptoms of respiratory illness: • Fever • Cough • Shortness of breath • (always a considerate practice anyway) https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV ••• An appreciation of you dancing spirits ••• Dancing together as kindred spirits expressing vitality, creativity and loving kindness seems to be good for our health ~~~ Yay, Thank You Dancers! • Also please note: Tuesday, March 10th we will be dancing at The Village School Commons Main parking, 75 E 35th Ave Eugene, 6-8:40pm.
