Gathering - Autonomy, Relationship, and Community

This Sunday we will discuss the differing dymanics between our autonomy and freedom as individuals, the dynamic sharing that happens in relationships, and belonging/identifying to a community. We live in a society where much of community has been lost, the family has gone nuclear, and individual freedom has become a cult. But where is the healthy balance? So many long for community, yet we are terrified to give up our autonomy and freedom. Must we? Is there a way to have both?

Come and join in discussing this topic of passion for many of us. I will also share more of my vision of Intimate Community as part of the evening.

We meet at 7 PM. Several people also like to come around 6:30 to do some contact improv, a simple and beautiful form of movement that you can learn in a few minutes - you're welcome to join us for that as well.

Gathering - Cycle of Life

This Sunday, we will have a gathering with a simple exercise I am calling Cycles of Life. I picked this up from a medicine wheel located at Seven Oaks near Roanoke. We will have a chance to look at the cycle of life and intuit where we are in the cycle.

This week we will preceed our meeting with some contact improv, for those interested - a free-form group movement that is easy to learn, yet very meditative. The contact improv will start at 6:30. We may then have a short time of dancing to free our bodies and minds before we begin the meeting at 7 PM. I hope you will join us.
