I have found these listed, particularly practical and effective in supporting the evolution of my moving, spiritual practice. I list them here as contributors to my life’s work- learning to find spiritual solutions for meeting fear, and extending that learning to the community by living consciously and compassionately. I list them here as reference to the influences on my practice, as well as a resource in exploring and testing tools for holding the question of coming to faith.

The Gyrotonic Expansion System® has been a passionate study of mine since 2003. I have attended dozens of courses since that time with certifications on the Pulley Tower, the Jumping Stretching Board, The Ladder, The Archway, and the Leg Extension Unit. I am also a certified Master Teacher in Gyrokinesis. I have found both community and intelligent teaching relative to essential principles of movement. I am grateful to Juliu and Gina the Gyrotonic community for mapping and building a teaching organization around these principles.

Soul Motion: Unity Inquiry What happens in the dance room is a microcosm of what happens in the everyday dance. Soul Motion dancers practice seeing themselves and others as one essence knowing that all people desire happiness; all people wish to alleviate suffering.
