SUMMARY:Easy as Breathing: Wild Heart Writing for Women\, GGF 6/10–6/14
DESCRIPTION:Loosen your creativity\, fill your page with words that want to be written\, and share your stories in an inspiring\, supportive setting. \nAuthentic\, compelling writing comes from a place of emptiness and mindfulness. By showing up\, listening\, and writing what arises\, we discover the ideas we need to bring to light. We calm the mind\, then follow playful and provocative prompts to start our pens flowing. With timed exercises\, we bypass our inner critics and write consciously and freely. Words appear. Memories stir. Tales breeze in and land on the page. After writing\, we read aloud and encourage one another\, without critiquing. \nThis practice can serve as a form of meditation or a way to discover the writer within\, jumpstart any writing project\, or add new tools to your writer’s belt. \nWriting experience is not needed. A willingness to be quiet and to play is all. \nNo special materials or advance reading are necessary. Participants should bring pen and a notebook or paper\, since laptop use is not fitting for this modality. \nThis retreat welcomes all self-identified women.

SUMMARY:Prism: Butoh Meditation Workshop\, CC 6/14
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Butoh is approached not as choreography\, but as a state of consciousness and body. Through meditation\, participants will be guided to allow movement to naturally emerge from within their own bodies. \nNo dance experience is required. Beginners are very welcome. For dancers\, this workshop offers an opportunity to experience a different origin of movement beyond conventional dance practice. \nWhat Kana shares is not technique\, but state and being: \n\nHow to tune your channel of consciousness\nWhat your body is receiving\nWhat kind of “void” exists within you\n\nThrough this process\, we will explore ways of communicating with invisible energies—the core of Butoh—as a practical experience. \nNote for participants: If possible\, please wear white clothing. \nIn addition to this workshop\, Kana Kitty is giving two performances with Fenner Merlick and Ember Luna.
