Moving Tribe, 

I was inspired by the words of my friend Adam Barley, master teacher of the 5Rhythms, and I wanted to send his motivating words on to you. Yes… it is about living in the body. Now.

Now I Am… present.
I hope to dance with you Sunday at 10:00am for Journey Dance and Sunday at 4:00pm for Nia… dancing our intentions… Embrace, Celebrate, Shine… Now I Am.
We will also hold Gabrielle Roth’s spirit in our dance, as we join millions across the planet dancing for this wonderful woman.
Thank you Adam!
Now I Am Love, Adelle

“A friend of mine just texted me “I feel like I’ve been on a deep healing workshop for months, with no rest – any idea how to stop it?” I replied that I think I’m on the same workshop, and no, I’ve no idea.
I just do my best to keep letting go. Which sometimes includes staying in place of course – I have noticed my mind’s tendency to get attached to anything, including letting go.
I know that I really get in a mess if I don’t do my practice enough. The times when I least feel like dancing often have the most potential of all.
Sometimes we need to dance alone in the woods, sometimes with our kids in the living room, sometimes with a group of consenting adults at a local class. Sometimes we need to dance so low and slow we never make it off the carpet. Or we’re so full of it we begin and end in chaos; that’s all there is. Every day is new.
Maybe we’ll all get a bit more hopeful now that the end of the world has been and gone, and we’re still here! Like,“oooh… maybe it’s up to me after all…” What now? What can we create? What do we choose? Do you have the courage and faith to let other people move you? To trust your impulses for expression? To surrender to life? To really take your place, day by day, and give what you can?
And if you lack the courage, do you know how to find it? I suggest getting into the experience of being you through your body. Take a deep breath and be physical.
… Gabrielle’s memorial is next week. More information about that here. If you aren’t going, you might want to light a candle or dance a step in gratitude for this woman’s extraordinary contribution. You’ll be one of a wave all round the world.
Feet first my friends
May we all have the year we truly need
Adam
