I’m back!
After being away in New Mexico studying with Martín Prechtel and then unexpectedly plunging into a healing journey, today I taught my Nia class for the first time in over a month!
I am embryonic. Everything is new. Everything is new, strange and beautiful. I am in a never-before-seen or experienced world.
We lit candles. We did the Five Stages of Self-Healing — embryonic, creeping, crawling, standing and walking — based on the developmental movements we all did as children. We spoke to our bodies, saying, “Body, please guide me . . .” We danced.
I created a new routine called “Aliveness,” based on the song I Am Alive by David Zeller, zt’l, which has been such a constant and loyal companion, and other music that has been accompanying me on this healing journey.
Come move with us this Thursday at The DanceSpace as we re-enter Aliveness again, new, again, together, again.

On the day when the Holy inflated the lungs of humanity and caused its heart to beat, the Holy called this act of creation tov ma’od, exceedingly good.
