in-person workshop with

Kathy Altman, Lori Saltzman 

& Joseph Machado​

​

​

Love is a verb, which means it moves. Love is also big, often asks more questions, than providing answers.

This is why dance is a perfect way to practice love. Through movement, a mirror is held up to show us:

• How we show up for ourselves and others

• How we take our place and find belonging

• Where our comfort zones rule

• Where risk might be a choice to consider

Ultimately, dance helps us practice, loving what is.

This three day event will ask some essential questions about our ability to love. Please join us as we dance in community and investigate where we love easily and what gets in the way of our ability to love.
