"Mr. Duffy lived a short distance from his body.” ~James Joyce Too often this is our reality as well. Moving mechanically from “A” to “B”, while we process how we’ll get to “C”. Over-stimulated and underwhelmed as we endlessly search for a time to be at peace. A place to lay down and rest. Let’s make that place together. Join us for a night of embodiment through music, dance, and stillness. Together we will begin to slow down and ground in the sensations of our bodies, allowing for the capacity of our individual and collective care to naturally rise to the surface. Let us ask ourselves, “Did I remember to live today?” Please bring a yoga mat or camping pad to use in the portion of the concert that invites you to lie down and rest.
