Winter Solstice:
Message-Movement-Meditation
with Rev. Shirley Nelson and Roger Sams

Winter Solstice honors the wisdom of the longest night of the year, of the sacred darkness that births light. Cultures around the world celebrate the coming of light through the darkness in diverse ways. We invite you to join us on a culturally non-specific, multidimensional journey into the heart of Solstice. Shirley will offer words of wisdom and inspiration that weave in and out of Roger’s guided movement meditation, creating a musical map through the landscape and sacredness of the holy womb that is the human body birthing light into the world.

No movement experience or belief structures are required.
All who wish to embody love and light are welcome.

4 - 6:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on Zoom

Please join Roger for a free ecstatic dance tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night on our Tuesdays with TWO call Roger Sams will lead a gentle, uplifting movement meditation. Roger has been practicing movement meditation (often called ecstatic dance) as a body-based spiritual practice for over two decades. Free movement to inspiring music can relax and nourish the body, shift our internal landscape, and open up possibilities for deep listening to the voice of wisdom that resides within each of us. This introductory dance will take you through an exploration of your body parts in a way that will nourish you body, mind and spirit.
Join us at 7pm CT / 8pm ET Tuesday. Click here for our Zoom link and to learn more about Tuesdays With TWO. https://teachingwithorff.com/tuesdays-with-two/

First look at a potential mountaintop venue for the October 2020 Bali retreat. My initial impression is pretty positive. What do you think?

Andrea, from Bali Wellness Retreats, just sent some amazing pics of our water purification ritual in Bali. This was such a beautiful and powerful ritual in our second week, after a week of isolation and a sinking deep into our practices. Plans are being made for the next Bali retreat in fall of 2020. It will be transformational.

To build brains and bodies capable of relationships, humans needed to move: dance shaped our culture and created the mind

Eighteen of us have arrived safely in Bali. We have landed here in this beautiful sacred sanctuary for our first week of healing as dive deep into the Architecture of Trauma. We will be releasing trauma (personal, ancestral, and cultural) from the sinews of our flesh and the cells of our beingness. The healing miracles have already begun. We will be sending you love and healing light throughout our journey. We invite you to stay connected with us and take a virtual retreat with us. Distance healing is real. You can claim some of this for yourself if you choose. Join us in birthing the new human on planet earth.

Ginny and Roger have been busy making final arrangements in Bali for a wonderful three-week retreat that begins tomorrow. We plan on posting regularly and sharing the blessings, the beauty, and the transformation with you. We hope that you’ll stay connected with us here.

When we dance our brain releases endorphins, neurotransmitters that create a feeling of comfort, relaxation, fun and power, so dancing makes us happy.

Maybe it was something about the phrase “free-form movement in a judgment-free space.”
