••• The Somatic ••• Offered free by Hartspace Project is a space in time intended to support, inspire and refine our dance, to share with each other our observations, experiences, creativity, and ways of learning. This time also serves to tune the environment for the upcoming Coalessence Dance.
••• Altar work-trade for the dances •••
If you’re interested in work trading for any Coalessence Dance, you can earn 2 free dances for 1 shift. Please check out our Signup Genius Page to learn more & to sign up.
••• Consent and Wristbands •••
We humbly ask that everyone continuously cultivate an atmosphere of consent, where our awareness of others’ experiences inform how we practice our dance, and how we make our ways through the world. This means getting clear verbal or non-verbal yes’s or no’s from those we approach. If “yes”, we are always sensitive to changes and endings. If “no”, we acknowledge the clarity with grace and appreciation.
We offer Red, Yellow & Green wristbands at the door for those wishing to clearly, visually indicate level of interest in interacting. Wearing them is not required but please do if so inspired.
More in the opening circles on how we work creatively and collaboratively to create a dance experience expressing respect and overall awesomeness towards all; please be present and participatory.

In Gratitude as a formative principal…
Imagining gratitude as a formative principle, as an orientation or perspective that can directly shape the experience of ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
In Gratitude as an affirmation of life…
As we seek to be held in the web of life,
where does a path of gratitude lead us?
What do our senses perceive of our vitality and capacity to uplift others along the way?
In Gratitude as a creative expression…
What can the whole of us learn about tuning up, tuning in and playing a dance of gratitude?
