To live a truly creative life, we always need to cast a critical look at where we presently are, attempting always to discern where we have become stagnant and where new beginning might be ripening.

Until a couple of years back I had a distaste of the word β€œboundaries” because I thought it had a negative meaning. In times of great chaos and uncertainty I’ve become deeply curious about the dynamic meaning of this concept. β€’ We are relational human beings. Our physiology is directly linked to our thoughts and nervous system and I would add to our environment. Boundaries are unique to each person depending of personal,gender,family,ethnicity and cultural history. β€’ Through my healing work I’ve become a devotee student of what I called β€œsacred law”. There is way more to this. β™₯️Most importantly I wanted to leave you with this. We are from each other. We do and prosper better with each other. Learn your relational 🧭 compass. Have a daily practice to brings you to discover your physical,emotional self well being. And if this makes sense to you please share what’s are some of your practices or reach out. I hope to begin teaching this coming fall. 🀲🏼β™₯️🌱🌞🌊🌲. #belonging #wellness #together #touchtherapy #myth #sacredlaw #creativeshamanictools #healing #whererealitymeetsmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmV_nUBXb6/?igshid=14s4hrkmais4g

Draw the line. Spirit flows. When I was in my early 20s I was high all the time..high in Art Everything was a religious experience. Seeing but my hand also spoke. I can only imagine what Picasso,Matisse and some many of my favorite artists felt through their hands. In these strange times I hope to explore more.πŸ’ŽπŸŒŸπŸ–ŠπŸŽ¨ these drawing are from the past couple of months. #prismacolorpencils #portrait #artist #language https://www.instagram.com/p/CCxUZKIhMIi/?igshid=1vtn6a4bx97ng

I know that nothing has ever been real Without my beholding it. All becoming has needed me. My looking ripens things And they come towards me, To meet and be met. ~Rilke πŸŒ€β™₯οΈπŸŒ€πŸ‘πŸŒŸπŸ€²πŸΌ Is the end the end or is the end the beginning.

Would life be the same from here on forwards ? I have tons of questions. Mainly to myself as the kaleidoscope of emotions come on and I attune to my nervous system. Anger,lost,grief,rage but also compassion as I peak through the veil of what we thought was real. Who,what are the people,places,dreams,relationships that inspired you? The stories we tell ourselves to keep us going? Anyways I got tons of questions but I leave that to the 🎧. I hope you join us again tomorrow Sunday evening May 2 6-7pm PDT,US,CA Via Zoom if you feel the call to join us in our dance ceremony . Donation based. I will try to put more information later. Or DM me.πŸŒžπŸ™ŒπŸΌβ™₯️ πŸŒŠπŸ‘£πŸŽ§πŸŒΏβ­•οΈ#belonging #dance #5rhythms #innerquest #myth #wellness #imagination #dancemusic #depthpsychology #wildvisuals #creativeshamanictools #questions https://www.instagram.com/p/B_sQvAVnlQ2/?igshid=1pjryb8ntld22

Hold my hand in yours, and we will not fear what hands like ours can do.~ The Epic of Gilgamesh, translated by Danny P. Jackson.β™₯️ Two opposites bring an act of creation. With our hands we practice what we love. This sculpture/image here speaks volumes to me about the things I love. It speaks about #selfcare ,compassion,beauty and about our power to create. It is both humbling and inspiring to provide healing for others while also being in #harmony with inner and outer dynamic challenges I might be going through and staying connected to the greater stories that move us. 🀲🏼β™₯️🌿🌟🌊🌞#selfcare #wellness #belonging #imagination #mondaymotivation #massagetherapist #create #symbol #endurance #art #rodin #harmony #poetry ~Auguste Rodin - Lovers’ Hands https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ZUGo8hMpm/?igshid=1hq8753fhmzmm

I praise the dance, for it frees people from the heaviness of matter and binds the isolated to community. I praise the dance, which demands everything: health and a clear spirit and a buoyant soul. Dance is a transformation of space, of time, of people, who are in constant danger of becoming all brain, will, or feeling. Dancing demands a whole person, one who is firmly anchored in the center of his life, who is not obsessed by lust for people and things and the demon of isolation in his own ego. Dancing demands a freed person, one who vibrates with the equipoise of all his powers. I praise the dance. O man, learn to dance, or else the angels in heaven will not know what to do with you. ~ Saint Augustine πŸ’Ž Join is this coming Saturday morning December 7 10-12noon at the Masonic Lodge in Culver City for a exploration of embodied movement dance meditation, where we invite beauty,prayer and connectedness . $15 This will be my last DJing offering this year so I hope you can make it.β™₯οΈπŸ‘£ All ages and forms of dance welcomed. πŸ‘£πŸŒŸβ™₯οΈπŸŒ€πŸπŸŒžπŸ§‘πŸ½β€πŸš€. #dance #belonging #5rhythms #danceismedicine #ecstaticdance #soulpath #gabrielleroth #losangelesdancecollective https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ntQc5hbKC/?igshid=1ql9ni0rtblx4

Citizen of Dark Times: Agenda in a time of fear: Be not afraid. When things go wrong, do right. Set out by the half-light of the seeker. For the well-lit problem begins to heal. Learn tropism toward the difficult. We have not arrived to explain, but to sing. Young idealism ripens into an ethical life. Prune back regret to let faith grow. When you hit rock bottom, dig farther down. Grief is the seed of singing, shame the seed of song. Keep seeing what you are not saying. Plunder your reticence. Songbird guards a twig, its only weapon a song.~Kim Stafford πŸ•Š Dear friends. Join me this coming Saturday morning December 23 10-12noon for a wonderful exploration of beauty, movement,and dance. I will be DJing and facilitating a lightly guided musical journey.

I place on the altar of dawn: The quiet loyalty of breath, The tent of thought where I shelter, Waves of desire I am shore to And all beauty drawn to the eye.~O’DONOHUE 🌟 And then there is these places. Where our practice and what we love become one. We become our own center of gravity. β™₯οΈοΏ½οΏ½πŸ€²πŸΌβœ¨πŸŒ±πŸŒ€πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸš€#belonging. #nourish #movement #practice #home #vulnerability #seeker https://www.instagram.com/p/B4IOpZ-BluV/?igshid=bfsxa155ymm1
