“We began as a mineral
We emerged into plant life and into
the animal state, and then to being human
And always we have forgotten our former states,
except in early spring,
when we dimly recall being green again.” Rumi
Join us for a day of inquiry in what it means to be “green again.”
Through explorations in Continuum Movement, Continuum Montage, perceptual inquiry and How Life Moves (work of Kevin Frank and Caryn McHose), we will traverse the trail of the body’s biological history.
In the playful field of possibility, we will enter the organic origins of life unfolding, and foster new ways of being embodied humans at this potent time in the evolution of consciousness on the planet.
In the history of our biological evolution lies the secret of “being green again” in all of its facets and freedom.
In breath, sound and movement inquiries we will open the potential for new movement possibilities and the reorganization of patterns of inhibition, separation and pain. Join us and be green again!

Painting from the Inside Out
with Penny Allport
Mondays 6:45 – 9:00 p.m.
Monday, May, 23 – June 20, 2011
Dream Lodge, Wilson Creek, Sunshine Coast
$150.00 (supplies included)
The days leading to the Summer Solstice are filled with creative potential and possibility. In Painting from the Inside Out we can ride this wave of plenitude and nourish the seeds of our inner longings at this time.
Through breath, movement and sound, we land in the deep swells of the formative fluid calling for expression. In instinctive and spontaneous gestures, we surf in the movement of liquid color as new life is birthed through the midwifery of Soul.
Dwelling in process, rather than product, we play in the continuum of the birthing taking place on the planet and in our beings at this most precious time on the planet.
Come, Move, Paint, and
“give birth to the future waiting to be born.” (Rilke)
