Adventurous Heart

with Christina in Playa de Tijuana, Mexico

“A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” -John Augustus Shedd

Like a ship, when we play it safe we deny ourselves living fully and joyfully. An Adventurous Heart is willing to take risks-dancing into fear, allowing anger to become a teacher rather than a prison, recognizing that sadness is an expression of loving deeply so that we may embrace joy and open to the universal nature of compassion. Through movement we practice the art of slowing down and listening to the wisdom of the Heart. Children are blessed with an instinctual Heart, as we grow older we can become more cautious. Forgetting the power of the Heart to lead us on adventures.  We will use movement, meditation and dance to connect more intimately with our intuitive Hearts, releasing the protective armor that keeps us separate. Listening to the truth of our hearts, we can allow ourselves to fully feel the aliveness present in our moment to moment experiences. 

The Heart has the answers, are you willing to listen?

In this 5 Day Heartbeat level workshop we will dance into our personal and group adventure in Playa de Tijuana, Mexico.
