A profound afternoon of reclaiming power with ritual and sound integration

A modern day ritual~ for your well-being;

a time to honor earth, embodiment, and inner mastery

In this retreat we:

Reclaim language. Revisit our ancient tribal essence where we allow space and awareness to emerge. We invite the Emperor archetype, and play in its profound energy of authority and leadership.

The insights that have arisen for humanity regarding the Divine Feminine now evoke a time of merging. So in our retreat we bring into focus whatever limits we have around power and leadership. Wherever our inner authority has been sabotaged and blocked our creativity. Freeing us powerfully for the year.

At the Movement & Learning Center Sunday – from 12- 4:30

90 Biltmore Ave, Asehville

Above French broad Coop

$35 – normally $97

Bring a friend $53

Setting up your new year with 20/20 clarity! An afternoon immersion. Along with the Emperor archetype of the tarot, we will use breath work, sound, silence, and numerology.

Come immerse yourself in a powerful loving container. Dress comfortably as though you are going to yoga class. If you want to lie down during the sound integration (at least 30 minutes ) bring a yoga mat, blanket, etc. The room will be set up with chairs, and if you’d like a cushion you may want to bring one.  Bring some nourishment, water, snack or lunch. As we will break for 15 minutes. Food Coop is downstairs if you need anything.

Inception for Redesign 2020

Uncovering the Narrative

Great design simplifies a very complicated world.

If you’re not realizing a dream, 7 years is a long time. Bjarke Ingels

I’ve just come upon the beginning of year 7 in Asheville. So it’s game change time. Whatever I’ve come to know in this last phase of life is crucial. My awareness around just where I’ve been. And true to form, we have had to zoom way out. Personally I think the common human link now is that we’ve tipped ourselves on our axis and we are renovating.

My work requires another world to collide with. For me it started young with my mothers hoarding and lack of organization, and my fathers sometimes mercurial madness where he’d blast into a project. I do that. I had to make sense of my world and in order to be safe, I would recreate it until it was simple and beautiful.

So it’s been hard at times to solicit and share my gifts. It’s a happening.

2020 will be a relaunch. With laser focus.

Actors must know their motivation

Acting 101: stay where you truly are, long enough, and it will morph. That’s it, at least in the tradition that I come from. Resist, avoid, do anything but be where you are, and you don’t stand a chance of captivating anyone else. You don’t get results. My 1st year acting teacher, Joel Rooks, was more fun to watch then my fellow classmates. His instruction:  be honest, be where you are at. If you aren’t or you miss a beat, he’d stop us. So he’d watch us do the exercise. He’d be living it with us. His anticipation growing and then you’d see his shoulders slump over and his face drop.

Someone missed a moment. One moment missed. Then a train wreck.
I find good actors are generally pretty healthy people.  If they aren’t absorbed, as a spectator you won’t be either. They’d be thrown to the lions. We throw ourselves to the lions every day. No focus and direction. We live a haphazard life.
We are all actors on life’s stage. Why miss one more moment? It’s time to live the life you want to live.

A story: He look a like a golfer, and acted like a Buddha

A little story:
I met a man years ago in NYC, Howard Wills, he looked like a golfer. A good ole boy from the south. Well, he was a Buddha. This is what he taught: You have to clean your mirror.
How do we gauge our outer projection, albeit badly or incorrectly?  Likewise, there is an inner mirror. Clean up the uninvited foot prints. Be your own Valentine, you will then reflect back to everyone their value and beauty.*Oh this is funny: I just googled Howard since I haven’t thought of him in years, and he doesn’t look like a golfer any longer. He sports long grey hair, and lives on Kauai, quite clearly still a Buddha.
