The Spiral Dance of Wholeness

We dance in Wholeness to Remember our Nature.
Essentials:
We will be on the floor, if possible for you. Have blanket, pillow and any other toys or tools for being comfortable in the developmental work on the floor.
 

Spiral


Pattern of Nature : Spiral

Pattern of Nature: Spiral
Perspective of Joy  - consciousness: Listening from my heart. Embracing -- Releasing, Discerning nourishment from depletion, Taking in - letting go....
Physical Root: Heart -- whole heart
Developmental Pattern:  Rising -- expanding-condensing, gathering-scattering,
Nature's Expression: Helical movement of galaxy, conch shell, vortex.....
Political/social: What nourishes this situation and what interferes?
Creating:  What bubbles up and through you in any medium when you listen and act from your heart? What images. sounds, or absences evoke and support your heart? Spirals? What nourishes you, what depletes you?
 
Reflective Landmarks to Orient our play today

Explore the flow from starfish to sea anemone.

How do limbs integrate in each pattern?

How does each pattern support you and your movement in the world?

 
Resonance

Megan:  I love Tracy Chapman!

Micha: Feeling at home

Molly: I really enjoyed a spiral dance with my big braided rug 🙂

Beth:   I love "What does the wheel give us?" Every time you ask: "What does the  . . . . give us?" I feel inivted into my body in a different way. Thank you!

Megan: Spiral allows me to notice what is all around me (in 365 degrees) - to learn, to bring a new idea toward myself and shift perspective if necessary or helpful. The spiral of learning. Thank you.

Alison: Being outside, I was able to explore spiralling in and out by following the pattern of flagstones on the patio - so cool!  When I experimented with comparing walking in a circle with walking in a spiral, I was surprised to find that it felt SO different.  I then experimented with walking in concentric circles, staying in one circle until I felt drawn to move into the next circle.  It allowed me to maintain my pace while slowing down the spiral movement, if that makes sense.  

 

Nature was my inspiration today.  I was joined by a baby bunny, two woodpeckers, and many other birds.  What a joy to experience the patterns of nature IN nature.

From Christine -- THANK YOU!


Practicing

by Ciona Rouse

 

I walk, eyes closed, down

the hall, hands brushing our

bumpy wall lightly, “What are you

 

doing?” my love asks. “Practicing”

I say. I have glaucoma.

Which means a cloud overcasts

 

the sun of my sight until

there is no light. Or maybe instead

the black hole of my iris pulls

 

the gravity of periphery closer

and closer until it stampedes

a cattle of stars in my eyes’ mind.

 

All the light my brain uses

to kaleidoscope a galaxy

in my head, bones of stars bejewel

 

my sockets: gas, plasma, dust.

City lights collide and scope.

I know nothing of blindness.

 

And too little about science

to accurately describe

my future sight spaghettified

 

but the doctor says, with certainty,

quite certainly, I’m too young

to not go blind. He says I will,

 

eventually. And so I practice.

Science, too, knows little

about black holes, meaning they

 

mystify, meaning

they elude even the knowledgeable

like the doctor who so convincingly says

 

I will without saying when

or the end of a poem unpretending,

which also practices

 

also goes long ways down dark halls

feeling for its way, hoping it knows how to

carry nothing but constellations inside its orbits.
