Please note that due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, our schedule and guidelines are subject to change.

WITH: Valerie Chafograck and Dominique Cowling

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: Movement practice can be inspiring, healing and revolutionary when it comes to exploring relating to others. Relationships bring us into the Heart - the point is to be aware, to cultivate pathways that allow us to choose connection with intentionality.

What would it be like to practice a movement language that involves no spoken words? Perhaps you are motivated by some movement of mine. Perhaps it's a call and response in duet, while remaining grounded in our dance, and opening up to the energy we intimately share & co-create together. Perhaps we lose ourselves in each other, or not, in body conversation. What happens when we invite breath and presence, and let go of preference?

This daylong will be an opportunity to bring more consciousness to relationships, build resilience and capacity for genuine, and more heartfelt pathways with anyone we encounter on the dance floor and in the everyday dance.
