ENLIVENING THE PELVIS AT BODY MECHANICS

Enlivening the pelvis combines embodied anatomy, dance/movement and creative practice with the elemental cycle.

There have now been 4 iterations of this series.. and it continues to evolve!

My vision is to keep offering this work in a rolling and ongoing way, creating a larger and larger group that experiences it. I want to encourage folx to come in and out of the processes as they feel called. To take and retake the series at different times.

Upcoming is a continuation of a series started at Body Mechanics a few weeks ago. The first session was EARTH and BONES, the rest are as follows below.

Some of you may want to join this round! If you feel that YES, then come on in. This series are designed for humans born with a uterus.

You can read more and sign up here. (click over to the workshops tab)

and you can reach out with ANY questions to me.

If you are interested but cannot make any of these sessions, don't worry- there are more iterations coming in the future — including

a winter online version, and another round at FLOCK Dance Center in the spring.

ENLIVENING THE PELVIS CONTINUES at Body Mechanics.

(OCTOBER 28th, EARTH AND BONES (completed)

December 9th  part 2 Water/pelvic bowl

December 16th part 3 Fire/Womb

January 6th part 4 Air/Breath/Voice

February 3rd part 5 Intuition/Discernment/Choice

DESCRIPTIONS

EARTH/BONES

The container is where we begin. We are connecting with the framework of the pelvis and locating the bony landmarks through movement and touch. The bones tell our story yet are alive, they provide structure and edges.

WATER/PELVIC BOWL

The structures of the soft tissue of the pelvis are beautiful and complex. Figure eights, lines and curves, octopuses and jellyfish. When we allow a sense of water, tide, rise and fall to support our movement we become grounded within dynamic expression. When we imagine our emotions as energy flowing through our body we free up held emotional expression.

FIRE/WOMB

What is the creative fire? What is the spark of renewal, rebirth, regeneration? What if we turn our attention to not what is manifest but the energy of manifesting itself? We were all made in the velvety dark folds of the womb, sparked with the energy of creating. What if we could find that vibration even now, in this moment. . . and in this one?

BREATH/VOICE

The domes of the diaphragm and the pelvic floor mirror each other. They both respond to and interact with breathing. There is a dynamic interplay between them, as well as with the domes of the arches of the feet and the soft palate. We will work to let these places all move more easily, letting breath come and out with grace and strength. The connection between the pelvis and the throat exists in every level of our being- physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. In this workshop we also play with vocalizing and making sounds.

ETHER/DISCERNMENT and INTUITION

The pelvis and the gut brain have a knowing that speaks differently than our everyday logical mind. It speaks to us directly – warns us, excites us and points in the direction of our calling. The pelvis also works every single day in a process of discernment, acting through its own wisdom of what to keep, and what to let go. Can we build more relationship with our gut and let it guide us?

What is held inside, needing room to expand and change? Where do you need to forgive?

Instrument of the Infinite is a 5 session, 3 in person and 2 online, self-inquiry workshop that accesses the energy of the psyche through movement and creative rituals.

Blending Core Energetics and Dance Tracy facilitates this process with a generous and playful container. She, along with musician Adrian Hutapea, has been developing and offering this work for many years now, and is always thrilled to see the unique way each workshop and workshop participants present. Live music will accompany the three in person classes.

For the 2023 series, focus is on qualities of Fire and Water, the themes of Monsters and Reconciliation. Through Fire we ignite space for our Monsters to courageously dance forth, and through Water we draw in for Reconciliation, a return and a unifying. Conversation, specifically crafted dance scores, writing and drawing may all be used.

No specific training is required, but since movement and dance will be a primary tool, an ability to keep yourself safe while moving is requested. This workshop is a deep dive committed series.

Through the workshops you will gain:

-practice in sensing and working with energy.

-Deeper access to your own dance and creative abilities.

-Guidance in moving patterns that have felt held, stuck, or unapproachable.

-A community to practice with.

-Attention, care, container holding, and support.

-A process that enlivens your embodiment.

-A “tune up” through your whole being.

SPECIAL GUEST Adrian Hutapea is providing LIVE MUSIC for the three in person events.

You will receive 2 INTEGRATION CALLS on Zoom.

A Somatic Spells offering

Sometimes the best offerings are selfish ones..

As in- I share the practice because I need, want, and desire it too.

Teaching makes me fully accountable for being in the practice, and that is a great joy.

Twice now, moving through the ATTUNE practice truly changed me. It aligned something in me and I would spend the rest of the day held in a certain presence and vibration.

While sometimes it was hard to get up for it, it never failed to shift me.

SO! I am offering it again! For you and for ME! And with a few adjustments..

Each week will have a larger theme that guides the daily themes.

Through this process, we are aiming to know and love ourselves and the movement of our own energy... which is another way to say the movement of our own connection to spirit expressing through our physical being.

Instrument of the Infinite is a place to dance your heart out while expanding your energy field. It is a place to learn and play. It is a space where dance scores, Core Energetics and community come together.

We will be exploring the qualities of ether, air, fire, water, and earth, and how they connect to the energetic phases of human consciousness. While information will be exchanged the focus is on experiencing these things for yourself through guided meditations, dance scores, creative ritual, conversation.

You feel the container, you balance it with your breath, you charge your passions and joy, you release your holding, you center into that deep well of your life force. You get curious how that felt, moved, and created within you. You integrate and try it again…

Does this sound intriguing?

Through the workshops you will gain:

-practice in sensing and working with energy.

-Deeper access to your own dance and creative abilities.

-Guidance in moving patterns that have felt held, stuck, or unapproachable.

-A community to practice with.

-My attention, care, container holding, and support.

-A process that enlivens your embodiment.

-A “tune up” through your whole being.

ATTUNE

ATTUNE!

I am so very excited for this

It is as it says, this special offering is a chance to attune with body, mind, spirit for 5 days a week for three weeks.

It is an experiment- how will our daily life be changed by spending 30-60 minutes early in the morning on ourselves?

It will be simple, join in your pajamas and camera off if you like.

It will be focused, each day I will offer a thought/inspiration/musing, and we will practice movement and meditation based on this thought.

It will be recorded, because likely there will be a few days you cannot make it live, and you can still get the magic on your own time!

SEA ATTUNE is inspired by over 20 years of teaching and training in dance, movement, Pilates and energy work.

LIVE ON ZOOM- listed are PST, adjust for your time zone.

Tuesdays-Fridays 8-8:30 am

Saturdays 8-9 am

August 30th-Sept 17

LANDSCAPE OF THE PELVIS

Sign up HERE.

A depth journey in LOCATING, UNDERSTANDING, AND CONNECTING TO THE PELVIS. THIS SERIES USES CREATIVE PLAY, MOVEMENT AND DANCE, AND GUIDED MEDITATIONS, AND SEA (SOMATIC AND ENERGETIC AWARENESS) TO PRACTICE.

What even is a pelvis? Is it ok to connect with it? Do I want to? What are the structures that make up this part of me? What is the energetic resonance there? How does my personal life experience, my longings, creativity and emotions tie into what I experience in my pelvis- be that pleasure, pain or indifference.

Landscape of the Pelvis is a deep dive into these questions, supporting you in releasing bound energy currents and creating room for liveliness.

The core sessions are two group workshops that use imagery, movement explorations (based in physical training, dance, and more) and energy meditations to locate and connect with your pelvis.

Landscape of the Pelvis centers processes of connecting with the body, sensations, energy, and creative expression.

The sensation of the pelvis is one of infinite generative energy, it can guide us through times of softness and strength, anchor us to the earth, and set up a flow of power that whispers directly of our longing, discernment, and our pleasure.

.

Please commit to both sessions;

In person workshop in Portland, OR. Monday June 13th, 10-11:45 am

Often people are drawn to do a one on one session in conjunction with this work where we can honor and explore your individual challenges, expression and stories inherent in your pelvis.

This process is reflective of 20 plus years of experience as a dancer, artist, energy worker, Pilates, somatic, and movement instructor. We will work with the physical and energetic. I am here to share, facilitate, and support you from where you are in your process of connecting with your pelvis. It is time! Let’s do this.

I know this can be a tender and vulnerable subject; please do not hesitate to

Are you craving a self-knowledge and growth process? Does doing it in a way that is creative and artistic appeal to you? Would you like to engage your whole being in the practice?

Over the past ten years, I have been researching and developing the material that comprimses Instrument of the Infinite through workshops, writing, clients, students, with my mentors, through my art practices, and perhaps most profoundly through daily life.

And now I am SO excited to share this deep transformative process with you.

We will work by attuning with five specific flows of energy and consciousness, that will be explored through creative ritual, embodiment, energy work and group connection.

What does that mean?

It means each week I will share some information. Then I will guide you through an embodied/energetic meditation and a creative ritual based on that weeks theme. You will have a lot of autonomy about your ritual/practice, it may include dancing/movement, sounding, drawing, speaking and/or writing. I will leave some time each week for questions, sharing, and learning from each other.

Through the six weeks, you will gain:

-Knowledge of working with energy in your own life.

-Deeper access to your own creative abilities.

-Guidance in moving patterns that have felt held, stuck, or unapproachable.

-A community to practice with.

-My attention, care, container holding, and support.

-A process that enlivens your embodiment.

-A “tune up” through your whole being.

Tuesdays 5-7 pm PST. April 5th through May 10th

ONLINE over ZOOM

Because the work happens within the energetic container of our meeting times, and each gathering builds on the one before, full commitment to attending all sessions is required. .

Our themes, include: developing the observer, enlivening energy awareness, give/receive/take/offer, monsters, reconciliation, and radiant emptiness.

Investment is $350-$275 sliding scale for the 6 two hour sessions. $100 minimum required to reserve a spot. 10 people.

Both movement and image arise from a place of abstract understanding- of intuitive depth that bypasses the language of our everyday interaction and presents itself through form, color, shape and dynamic. By making the invisible visible we can interact, observe and allow what has come out to impress back upon us.

In this workshop we invite the expressions of the un-analyzable through practices rooted creative play. We will give the unconscious a container. Co-facilitators Tracy Broyles and jaime lee christiana will guide you through exercises based in Dance/somatic inquiry and Core Energetics (Tracy), and experimenting with object/reflective altar building (jaime lee.)
