Does the world have you wishing for recess?

Come reset with Mmmbody.

Mama "Doc" Clo is fresh off of a tour of speaking about: Medi-Play-tion Yakima, Play in Public Health (IDPH Conference) and Play as Disaster preparedness ( Carbondale Civic Center).

Next Sunday September 21st join us at The Healing Moon.

Mama “Doc” Clo will offer a joyful, restorative session of movement as adult play.

In this experience, we’ll explore how play lights up all regions of the brain — from imagination to muscle memory — and use our bodies to connect with both our inner landscapes and the world around us.
Come ready to move, breathe, and reclaim play as a powerful tool for healing, balance, and belonging.

This session combines movement with light discourse so bring your pad and pen.

What would happen
if you removed the thought ‘anxious’
and just paid attention
to these flickering sensations in the belly?

What would happen
if you took away the word ‘lonely’
and simply became fascinated
with this heavy feeling in the heart area?

What would happen
if you deleted the concept ‘sick’
or ‘broken’ or ‘wrong’
and just got curious about
the tightness in the throat
the pressure in the head
the ache in the shoulders?

What would happen
if you stopped looking for solutions
and checked to see
if there was actually a problem here?

Come out of the exhausting storyline, friend.
Come closer to yourself.
Commit sacred awareness to a single living moment.
Bring warmth to the tender place inside.

Infuse sensation
with the light of attention.
Maybe
it’s not as bad
as you
think.
– Jeff Foster

Authentic Movement is a deep, contemplative, transformative practice in which movers follow inner impulses, images and sensation to explore space, move, remain still. It is a somatic/meditative practice and an opportunity to discover new energy, creativity and insight.

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Juneteenth, and to all who wished to join us in spirit. Mark your calendars for our next session on July 20 with Lori!

As we closed the circle on Juneteenth Freedom Weekend, we were reminded that personal emancipation comes from extending—not hiding—our own light. In community, we always have the freedom to grant each other grace, and we must never take our global liberties for granted.

In the words of Audre Lorde:
"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."

Special thanks to The Healing Moon for their generosity in providing a space for us to gather, heal, and grow. Be sure to check out their upcoming events!

.Juneteenth: Movement as Collective Healing

✨ Wondering if Juneteenth is for you? It is. Here's why. ✨

You’ve heard about Juneteenth, maybe even seen the parades, flags, or gatherings. But if you’re not Black, maybe you’ve wondered:
“Is this my holiday too?”
Short answer: Yes.

Juneteenth is not about exclusion—it’s about freedom. It marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved Black Americans in Texas were told they were free—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Here are 10 reasons why everyone should celebrate Juneteenth:

1. Freedom delayed is still freedom won– Celebrating reminds us of the long fight for justice and that it didn’t end with the Civil War.

2. It’s American history – Juneteenth is part of the United States’ journey. Knowing and honoring it helps us all grow.

3. It’s about collective healing – By acknowledging the past, we help break cycles of silence and begin building bridges.

4. Black freedom made more freedom possible for everyone – The struggle for Black liberation has fueled broader movements for justice, equality, and democracy.

5. Celebration is resistance – Joy in the face of oppression is powerful. Joining in that joy is solidarity.

6. It inspires learning – Juneteenth opens the door to deeper conversations about race, freedom, and justice in America.

7. It builds community – Juneteenth events welcome everyone. Food, music, dancing, and history bring people together.

8. You benefit from Black excellence– Music, culture, innovation, resistance—celebrating Juneteenth means honoring the roots of much of what makes America vibrant.

9. Solidarity matters– Standing with your neighbors in celebration shows you're invested in a better, more honest future.

10. Because freedom is never finished – Juneteenth reminds us that freedom isn’t a date—it’s a commitment. One we all share.

Looking for a place to celebrate Juneteenth? Where else but The Healing Moon? Join Mama Clo and Lori from MmmBody on June 22 from 3:15 to 5:15 as we honor the past, celebrate our current gains and move into the future together.

This event is free for 19 people but you must RSVP.
Reservations include all of the materials necessary for a Juneteeth movement jubilee and also a light snack.

Stay tuned for updates to our special features of the day.
