Dear Colleague,

A year back, we felt a call and we started to weave together our needs, hopes and practices as we were personally deeply heartbroken by the separation, the aggression and the raw madness we are living in.

 

The HeartBeat workshop ‘BELONGING IN ACTION’ was born out of months of committed explorations and co-creation. We are emerging from our first pilot with a large international group of dancers in Belgium and we were amazed how the work was met and how meaningful and relevant it was to ignite heart activism in a grounded and accessible way.

 

We are reaching out to you to help us spread this body of work and bring it to your community. This is a 5 day Heartbeat workshop that, we feel, brings the dance to the streets.

​

​

So what is this workshop about?

 

“When confronted with the chaos and violence in the world around us, we might feel a lot… Sometimes, it is too much to bear… We might shutdown, or freeze in powerlessness or become very angry and burn from the inside, feel guilt or shame, confusion, isolation… and ask ourselves the same question over and over again: what can I do?

 

These edgy times might teach us not so much about what each of us can do separately and more about the power of togetherness and choice. Our choices and actions emerging from a deep sense of belonging.

 

BELONGING

Remembering where we come from, the cycles of the cosmos, the seasons, the land.

Connecting with each other, and the ever changing, dynamic and reconfiguring world around us.

Synchronizing together, being held in the spaciousness of a bigger field teeming with life, plants, animals, rivers, mountains, ancestors…

Each of us bringing our uniqueness, our abilities, and our dreams… All of us gathering and helping each other to give shape to what our hearts are longing for, finding hope as an action verb, in service of the collective.

 

IN ACTION

We will embody the dynamics of separation and connection, the pulse of life, through rituals.

We will dance. Movement offers a universal language, creating a bridge between you and me, bringing us together. Our body, emotions, and mind come together allowing the soul to seed creative action and celebrate our life force.

We will invoke elements of nature and our ancestors from the dawn of time, their experience, and the resources they can offer us to sustain our actions.

​

Together, as activists of the heart, belonging to a field of connections and creative action in service of the collective.”
