spaciousness project

Ideas
The spaciousness project is a forum in which I and others can bring together all of the teachings that I have done and take the pieces that help bring me to a place of inner peace and spaciousness, where I can sit in total bodied presence forever. To write about it in article form and end up with a book.

One of the goals is to have people leave the work with a 360 degree perspective, able to feel themselves in all 4 directions, with a support group in place to assist in keeping themselves on track. A big aspect of the work is getting into the body, developing a distinct sense of presence. And using creativity as a vehicle for self expression and self unfolding.

My Dream:

I want to be able to dance my life away, to be with people of like mind, to invest myself in movement, healing, and creativity. I vow that I will do everything in my power to bring dance and its possibilities to everyone I meet, and to embody a sense of health and well being, compassion, and love...

What this looks like, dance, have body work, body rolling and/or yoga every day...work with a group developing pieces and performing them on the streets...(finding that comfortable space between performance and too much rehearsal, developing an aesthetic, which primarily entails a deep sense of authenticity and presence. Body painting, costumes also...another section of young people who are incredible dancers/producing them in the malls, and on the streets. Helping them to manifest their dreams, and then a clothes line, velour jackets/shirts/blouses. And yoga mats/hindu deities T shirts..

The spaciousness project is a bold attempt to gain higher ground, to expose ourselves to new possibilities, to let into our lives more of the good stuff. Life is moving so fast, so much to do, so many choices. It's time to quiet down. To allow ourselves to listen to the inner voice that is there to guide us to our destiny. To relieve ourselves of all that is not who we really are. This work requires that we have a commitment to each other's personal journeys. Discipline and fortitude are valuable aids on this path. This is not about games, it's not about John, it's about the bigger picture and how we are contributing to that picture. How can we make our lives truly magnificent, and in doing so make the world a richer and better place for others.

This process is one of the most magnificent I know of. So simple, and yet so profound. It is the easiest way for me to check in, to get a sense of who I truly am at any given moment in time.
