Flourish
An Open Floor Dance with Kristen Jackson Banister Saturday 3/28/2020 We’ve been indoctrinated into a system that thrives on the idea of scarcity: Not enough time, not enough money, not enough safety, not enough love. It’s nearly impossible to live in our modern world without some experience of this. We’ve been led to believe that fulfillment will come through an abundance of money. Yet, after our basic needs are met, does it matter how much money we have? Or is it more important to expand our relationship to our own sufficiency? How much pleasure, happiness, joy, and prosperity can our nervous systems handle? How do we learn to appreciate, enjoy and revel while we expand our capacity to flourish? Saturday 3/28/2020 Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy 1 pm - 4 pm $15 @ the door “There is no scarcity. There is no shortage. No lack of love, of compassion, of joy in the world. There is enough. There is more than enough. Only fear and greed make us think otherwise. No one need starve. There is enough land and enough food. No one need die of thirst. There is enough water. No one need live without mercy. There is no end to grace. And we are all instruments of grace. There is no scarcity of love. There is plenty. And always more.” -Rosemary Freeney Harding |

Medicine Circle Sylvie Minot & Wendy Heffner July 25 and 26, 2020 In Medicine Circle, we dance, and the circle holds the big, small, quiet, loud, joyful, still, cathartic, and everything-in-between dances. We use sound – drums, rattles, bells, rain sticks, and song – to call Spirit back in. We pray, for ourselves, for others and for the greater whole. Dance and presence are our offerings. Being together in this sacred way is our medicine. Sylvie Minot Sylvie received her BA in Dance from San Jose State University and is a certified 5Rhythms® Teacher who was also trained in the Heartbeat (emotional) map by Gabrielle Roth. She has studied psychology, indigenous healing rituals, energy medicine, and sound healing and is inspired by the teachings of Angeles Arrien, Carolyn Myss, and Tito La Rosa. Since 2000, Sylvie has taught weekly dance classes and workshops for a variety of populations. Sylvie is often described as a catalytic shape-shifter because of her ability to meet people right where they are and move with them into new possibilities. Wendy Heffner Wendy is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 25 years of experience in private practice. She has completed an extensive training in integrating the 5Rhythms with psychotherapy. Wendy has been using dance as a practice for over 20 years and believes deeply in the power of dance to create positive change. Register Now, Space is limited!
