As we enter this season of shadows and eclipses, we're reminded that the light and dark belong to one another. 

Just as eclipses reveal what is usually hidden, shadow work asks us to face what lies beneath the surface of our culture: the violence of white supremacy, the weight of patriarchy, the extraction and exploitation that so often pass as “normal.” These forces operate like shadows—out of view, but shaping every aspect of our lives.

Eclipses remind us that the shadow is not just personal—it’s collective. And the work of liberation is learning to bring these shadows into the light: to befriend them, to dance with them and to reclaim what has been forgotten and disowned. 

This fall, we're honoring the emergence of darkness and welcoming shadow work with movement, ritual and collective practice. 

We've designed a world of practice this fall to invite radical inquiry, embodied exploration and creative play. Here's what we have in store: 

MOVEMENT FOR THE MOVEMENT: Each month we meet up in shared (virtual) space to honor the moon's cycles and move with its medicine. All practices are pay what you can (and recorded if you cannot attend live). Next up: Full moon in Pisces/Lunar Eclipse....this Saturday at 9PST/12EST. Learn more here.

EQUINOX RITUAL & PRACTICE (9/21): We're marking the autumn equinox with a special movement ritual called Dancing with the Shadows. Through movement and ritual, we’ll turn toward what has been hidden or silenced—both in ourselves and in our world—and move together to reclaim these truths as power for collective transformation. September 21st at 9PST/12EST. Join us!

MOVEMENT MEDICINE (9/27): In person movement lab in Joshua Tree to explore how the revolution is inside-out! Join Kerri Kelly & Dana Balicki for a day of embodied rebellion and prayer, art and strategy—a journey of movement, ritual and radical inquiry, where felt rebellions weave into collective shifts. We gather on September 27th, 10a - 4pm. Register here.

AMERICAN DETOX RETREAT (10/27 - 10/31): Join me for an epic 5-day retreat at the Esalen Institute. Drawing from movement, dance, ritual, and reflection, we will embark on an embodied inquiry into the mythical body - how we are shaped, where we are stuck and what is going to take to get free. Spaces are limited so save your spot now!

The super blood moon eclipse (gulp) is coming in hot to expose what is hidden and no longer serving us and to clear the way our highest intention. 

This week's Movement for the Movement will invite us to dive deep, surrender to the waves of emotion/grief and listen for what truth and guidance is stirring beneath the surface. Guided by our senses, intuition and creativity, we will explore a movement language that goes beyond expectations and unlocks our creative potential. 

📅 Saturday, September 6th

⏰ 9AM PST / 12PM EST

Practice is pay what you can. Everyone is welcome.

Hope to see you this fall!
