Interwoven: The Axis Syllabus and Dynamic Partnering with Daniel Bear Davis – 3 Class Series – REGISTER NOW!


This series of workshops, threaded through the year, will ground our explorations in The Axis Syllabus (AS) and Dynamic Partnering Practices. The AS explores details of our own anatomy, refined over thousands of years of evolution, to gain clues about how to move in collaboration with our own fascinating design. The intention is to encourage healthy patterns that support choice and longevity of the body’s tissues while increasing our aptitude to harness and play with momentum and offer resilient support. As we grow in our kinetic potential, we meet our dance partners with increased access to range and choice.

This workshop will weave explorations of healthy and creative relationships between the many parts of ourselves and with other humans in contact improvisation and dynamic partnering practices. We will identify boundaries and limitations as building blocks of resilience. We will explore ourselves and our shared dances as tensegrity structures, cultivating our integrity through tensile resistance. We will investigate the self within interconnected networks and interconnectivity within the self. And we’ll do a whole lot of dancing.

Daniel Bear Davis (MFA, SEP) is a Movement Educator, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and interdisciplinary performance maker, dedicated to support humans to step into greater aliveness so we can more fully inhabit the details of our lived experience. Daniel has taught Axis Syllabus, contact improvisation, contemplative movement practices, and embodied anatomy throughout Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East. When not teaching groups, he has a private practice as a somatic coach, using tools from Somatic Experiencing® to re-negotiate trauma and support resilient nervous systems. His work is also influenced by cultural somatics – the recognition of the larger web of human and non-human relations in which our somatic experience is situated. Daniel’s work seeks to thread the personal within the larger webs of ancestral lineage, nature, culture, and so much more. Whether teaching movement skills, nervous system regulation, or compositional practices, his intention is to foster informed choice and increased possibility through cultivated curiosity and exploration.

Daniel has worked with veterans and non-veterans in collaboration with Krista DeNio and EchoTheaterSuitcase project, and in San Quentin Prison with The Artistic Ensemble. His original performance, On Contentious Grounds, explored intersections between the experiences of students at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and the experiences of oppression expressed in interviews he conducted with Palestinians in the West Bank. 

His performance work has been presented at Performaticá (Mexico) in the Imagining Bodies Symposium (Estonia), Dancing in Place Festival (Malaysia), SummerWorks (Canada) the San Francisco International Arts Festial, SoWat Now Contemporary Performance Festival, and Looking Left Festival in California, the SEEDS Festival and E|MERGE Residency at Earthdance Center, MA, and at danceh0l0 in Brooklyn. He has been blessed with opportunities to perform with Guillermo Gomez Peña, Nancy Stark Smith, Nita Little, Pipaluk Supernova/Live Art Installations, Felix Ruckert, Kira Kirsch, Erika Tsimbrovsky, Scott Wells, Cid Pearlman, and many other inspiring body/minds. danielbeardavis.com


Introduction to Rage Club – Register Now!


Rage Club is a space to come alive. Most of us have spent our lives being told that it’s not ok to feel Anger—that it’s aggressive, dangerous, destructive, etc. This is an outdated relationship to feeling that keeps you numb and cuts you off from a powerful source of energy and information for your life.

Your Conscious Anger is the source of your clarity and aliveness. You do not have to be a violent destroyer. Nor do you have to be a voiceless, polite people pleaser with no boundaries. We’ll explore the Anger that you’ve been suppressing or bypassing all your life by feeling and expressing it without judgement. 

Together, we will research: How does Anger show up in your body? What information does it have for you? The key to reclaiming your Life and your Dignity is connecting with your Anger. 

In this Introduction to Rage Club, you will:

  • Connect with your Anger and remove conscious and unconscious blocks to feeling
  • Get out of your head and drop into your body
  • Speak while feeling Anger at different intensities
  • Reclaim your ability to set boundaries and say Yes! and No!
  • Bring your Anger with Love

Rage Club is a space where extraordinary things can happen, a practice ground for learning how to take responsibility for your life. What you are angry about is what you care about.

A-Frame Tiny House Design Workshop with Permatours – REGISTRATION CLOSED


Join us for an inspiring journey into tiny house design!

In this online design workshop, you’ll learn the entire process—from brainstorming ideas and exploring design alternatives to drawing scaled plans and estimating materials and costs. We’ll also briefly introduce the use of drafting software. Using two simple A-frame structures planned for Earthdance as our case study, we’ll guide you through designing cozy, functional spaces that will serve as private bedrooms for guests and workshop facilitators. By the end, you’ll have the confidence and skills to create your own simple dwelling designs.

This design workshop is in preparation for an event this spring where we will actualize our co-created designs for two A-frame tiny houses. On the weekend of May 8th – 11th, there will be the opportunity to participate in a unique, immersive 3-day experience where we’ll build the A-frame tiny houses together at Earthdance. This hands-on construction workshop will blend practical skill-building with community, movement, and music—stay tuned for further details!

What do participants need to have or bring? 

Please bring paper and pencil to sketch out your ideas. Ideally you would also have graph paper and a scale ruler (or regular ruler) if those are available to you, but it’s not necessary for the workshop. 


WHEN

Thursday, March 20th from 6-8pm

Thursday, March 27th from 6-8pm


PRICING

This is a donation based offering. We suggest a sliding scale of $15 to $150 per class.

Please give to your hearts content! This will help pay for the building of a new tiny home on Earthdance land to use during our events.

Once you register, we will send you the Zoom link to join.

ContaKids: Free Classes for Parents and Kids


During our upcoming Teachers’ Training taking place at Earthdance, we will be offering 2
free classes for parents and kids guided by the founder of the method, Itay Yatuv.

ContaKids is a unique and fun activity for parents and their children (age 2 to 5). Through
playfulness, movement and touch parents and children develop a new physical form of
communication, which is enjoyable for both; children enhance and improve their motor
skills and self-confidence and parents develop a sense of trust in their child and
themselves.

SHARE OUR FACEBOOK INVITE!

When:

1st class on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025 at 4:30pm
2nd class on Saturday, February 8th, 2025 at 10:30am

You are welcome to attend both!

About the Offering:

The classic setting that we recommend is one parent and one child working together but we are open to any other combinations as long as there’s at least one child and one adult working together. There can be two parents and one child or one parent with two children.

The adults can also be someone who is not the parent, like a grandmother or an aunt or a good friend who knows the child very well.

Age Range:

Regarding the ages of the children (2-5yrs) there is also some flexibility there. If you’d like to come with your 6 or 7 year old it’s okay, but it might be too simple or slow for them. We do not accept toddlers under 20 months old.

Class Expectations:

Length: 45 min
Before the class: The space will be available for them half an hour to 15 min before the class for welcoming.
After the class: We’d ask the parents to stay with us for a talk and exchange about their
experience in the class (short: 20 min +-).

Community Grief and Song Ritual with Chaya Leia Aronson and Charlotte Althaea Collins


What is the medicine of grieving in ritual containers? Unprocessed grief compounds and becomes a toxic emotional energy, which can create violence and perpetuate intergenerational trauma and violence.

Singing and sounding together helps vibrate our grief loose from these stuck places in our individual and collective bodies and make more space within us. This gives us a sacred opportunity to choose aligned action and to show up in the ways we truly want to show up in the world.   

Many cultures have shared traditions around grieving, which could sometimes last for days at a time.  We as Western ritualists aim to co-create spaces that honor the wisdom of our lineages as well as the many generous teachers who have brought their practices to the West.   

For this ritual our intention is to invite gentle movement of our bodies and the emotions held there. We will utilize the medicine of communal song and live music to call forward what is ready to be released at this time. We recognize that forgiveness and compassion are essential ingredients of our grieving process.  We are holding these as the foundation for this ritual. 

Following our ritual, we will share a potluck meal together at Earthdance.

Event Details:

Time: 4:00 pm – 7:30 pm 

Potluck Dinner: 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm 

This ritual is for you if:

  • You are human and wish to grieve in a held container in community.
  • You understand that grief is both a personal and collective experience and you’re willing to hold your grief as a way to heal both self and community.  
  • You understand that this space will be one piece of healing and are willing to seek ongoing support such as co-counseling, bodywork, nature connection, medicine ceremony, therapy, dance jams, etc.
  • You are willing to be with your pain or discomfort and be witness to others’ without needing to fix it.

  • Journal
  • Water bottle
  • Snacks  
  • Comfortable clothes
  • Potluck dinner item to share

Biodanza Workshop with Caroline Churba

Life is revealed thru movement to music.

Biodanza was “discovered” by Rolando Toro Araneda, a Chilean Medical Anthropologist , Psychologist, artist. It was a slow , maturing, discovery from the mid ’50s till 2010 and continues evolving. Rolando was always interested in connecting with the “humanity” of each and every person. He started in life as a teacher and created Art Exhibitions with the children’s work in the late ’50s. He created music bands with the youth and led them into nature to learn about the ocean and forests.

In the ’60s he recorded in his notes of  many “trips” of  Art students with LSD and realized that these wonderful visions had to be integrated within a reality; instead of “finding paradise ” in a fantasy world rather access this wonderful state in daily life in connection with our close loved ones. After continuous research, he created the Biodanza Theoretical Model which we still today follow in each class of Biodanza.

Biodanza is a form of community dance in the sense that “dance” represents movement as an expression of emotions. The difference with other forms is that the Biodanza Facilitator invites the class to simple, everyday movements such as walking, breathing , resting as a group activity. Everyone is “INVITED ” to participate in their own way, in feedback with others. You are free to accept or not. You may dance with others or alone but there is always a real happy disposition to share.

Of course there is NO CONSUMPTION of ANY substances in Biodanza. Most of the dances respect the natural organic state of the body, for every euphoric , expressive dance there is time to rest and integrate. Biodanza is a beautiful invitation to move to music that speaks beyond words, its effects are immediate, it aims to integrate and promote health and well being within togetherness.

An Introduction to Authentic Movement with Carolyn Shakti Sadeh


Authentic Movement, is a practice grounded in the relationship between a mover and a witness, was developed by Adler in the early 1980s, evolving from her studies with Mary Whitehouse and John Weir, as well as her early work with children diagnosed with severe autism. Different teachers of this early form of Authentic Movement offer their evolving perspectives in unique and diverse ways.

Being seen, seeing oneself, seeing another, movers and witnesses grow toward a vital experience of wholeness. – excerpts from “A Brief Description of the Discipline of Authentic Movement” by Janet Adler

Workshop

A mover and a witness.
The mover closes their eyes and opens to the possibility of learning from the wisdom of the body’s psyche, soul, history, mystery…

The witness, with eyes open, holds the space of consciousness and presence.

The intention for both mover and witness is to be present with what is, without any expectation of what should happen. There is no prescribed way to move, there is no wrong way to move. The invitation is to discover what is available to us when we have no agenda.

Quite simply, it’s about listening to the body. In this short time together, you’ll have an opportunity to experience both roles as mover and witness. One needs to be curious, open, and interested to feel and move with whatever is present in the moment. Included in the process is time to speak, draw, and write from our experiences.
So the magical mystery tour begins…
