Dancing...

My good friend Bev Bryson, here in Baddeck opened up her own Kundili yoga studio a few months ago....today we collaborated on a special Valentine's day event.

About 16 or so years ago i discovered Gabrielle Roth's 5 Rhythms dance modality - i used to head down to Toronto, twice a year for the weekend and dance my heart out!  It was an amazingly inspiring and liberating experience....i did that for about 6-7 years....i also organized monthly ecstatic (the other term for this kind of movement) dance events in my home town in Muskoka - it was fabulous.  Since moving here i haven't had a chance to do any of this kind of movement...until now!   This morning i introduced the group to my experience of ecstatic dance....and it was so well received.   We began with a 40 minutes kundili yoga session lead by Bev and then i did the second part....we danced for about 45 minutes!   I know i will suffer tomorrow...but i don't care!  It was so wonderful to be back in that place, moving to different rhythms and beats.   We've decided to start a monthly practice.....and with all this new technology i'll be able to organize the music without interrupting my experience of dancing. 

An update on the stove situation!   Terry managed to pull out the broken pieces, put in some kind of support so we can at least use the stove altho on a somewhat minimum basis.   Better than just the little heaters we had on last night!

off for a wee nap!

 Happy loving day out there!  and here's a link to last year's poem....still holds true...True Love
