pulling threads

Dear ones,

I’ve been teaching for a long time and it is one of my greatest joys.
Teaching can be informal or formal, a quick exchange or a deep course of study. We are being offered lessons all of the time.
When I am at my best, teaching feels like focusing a telescope, alignment between who and what is in the room, the prepared material, and the mystery. (The mystery that arrives whispering: say this like this, move the energy this way, share now, leave more room to explore now.)
 

Whenever we teach, we learn.

Behind the material is every teacher I have ever had, opening up a wide connection of community. And meeting this is the student who is willing to be present and open to curiosity. It is an equation that needs both parts, a dynamic relationship that has the potential to break down barriers and embody the wisdom that giving and receiving are the same current.

 
So many things inform my teaching, what is currently lighting me up and how it is in relationship to material that I have developed or explored for a longer amount of time. These things I may or may not directly address, yet they are in the room. 
 

I want to share the list below of things that are in the room for the Enlivening the Pelvis course, not because they will all have a corresponding practice, but because these are some of the threads I am tugging that provide a webbing of invisible support behind our practices. And even more than that provide a series of questions, a base for research and curiosity we all get to live within. 
 

The pelvic bones and the pelvic bowl 

Root systems 

The feet

Elemental support 

The guts 

The Vagus Nerve

The sacrum and spine 

The voice 

The uterus

Fires in Caves

The energy of creating 

Pleasure 

Spiders 

True clitoral anatomy as well as the erasure of it 

The demonization of powerful female archetypes 

Medusa 

Octopuses 

Flowers 

Expanding 

Simplicity 

The inherited energetic blockages that have come through religion and other social constructs and prevent people from feeling connected to their pelvis’s 

Cycles 

Laughter 

Rewriting the story 

Redefining sensuality both within and outside of sexuality 

Dance as a way to to grow learn and connect with parts that our small mind doesn’t access very easily 

The repression/fear of dance 

 

Do any of these things light you up? What do you know and intuit? Reach out and let me know! Lets be in conversation about it.
