THAW

🎶 DANCE IS BACK!! DJ ANNA BRINGS THE TUNES... 🎶 As we continue to THAW from the week of Winter Weather, let's look towards a thawing of anything in our systems that resembles 'freeze' response. When we find ourselves 'frozen' or 'fixated' can we encourage our bodies to move? Change shape? Melt? … Perhaps we could even accept a playful challenge to stay in continual movement for the duration of dance? Dance is known to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain, improve memory, enhance our mood, etc. Let's put it to the test and connect to JOY as we move, play, and explore, and EXPERIENCE ourselves in the present moment... perhaps our bodies can be trusted to guide us to new lands of FLOW and REVELATION. With so much Love, ~ Anna and the MM Crew ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When: Wednesday, January 24th and every Wednesday ~ Where: Norse Hall in Portland 111 NE 11th Ave, 2nd floor Warm-Up Music: 7pm Opening Circle: 7:30 Closing Circle: 8:50 isch Sliding scale $20-15 ~ All levels of movement experience welcome ~ No strong scents, please ~ 18 and older Benson Scott is up next week! *We ask that all participants be active and awake in the conversation of consent when it comes to engaging in anyone's immediate dance space. Thank you. One of our aims is to cultivate an atmosphere of listening, exploration and care as we allow our bodies the space they need to express, grieve, and celebrate, and PLAY while in community.
