WITH: Valerie Chafograck and Sarah Crowell

WHERE: Berkeley Unitarian Church, 1924 Cedar St. (at Bonita), Berkeley, CA 94709

REGISTRATION: Registration is required. We offer several donation options to choose from. For participants who are economically secure, we respectfully ask you to donate at the level you are able to join us, and support our teachers who have dedicated their lives to cultivating the skills and presence required for this work. Offer what makes you feel generous, rather than contracted, so as to support those who are experiencing financial hardship at this time. Thanks to Reverend Angel Kyodo Williams for this economic model.

WHAT: First month of the year, first breath, first step... What am i leaving? what am i about to enter?

As we encounter the various external ebbs and flows around us, a call to pause, rest, and listen invites us to re-enter the present moment. Using our body as a vehicle of awareness, we can consciously make choices, respond, and begin again.

We move solo from our vertical, inward listening, to then further extend our dance horizontally including others in the room.

A community ritual will create a space to set intentions, express, witness one another and offer our souls in motion. No experience is necessary to embark on this journey...just the willingness to be curious.

Are you willing?
