MESSAGES FROM THE COLLECTIVE Introducing the DT Collective - Over the last few months, we have been taking the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you! Last up... Cedar Mathias Cedar is passionate about guiding people into intentional dance spaces and she holds the ground for inner transformation, connection, and celebration. She believes that movement and sound are keys to experiencing the freedom of authentic expression and direct paths to connect to one’s Self and the body’s innate wisdom. Along with being a movement facilitator and DJ, Cedar is also a mother, artist, practitioner and teacher of Jin Shin Do Acupressure, and on the path of becoming a trained counsellor and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. She is so grateful to the community of Dance Temple to be in service to what has been her greatest medicine - conscious movement. Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/cedar-mathias/ Children We are once again on the lookout for a playmate for the children on Thursday nights. If you know of anyone who loves working with children and who is flexible and can roll with the shifting numbers and ages of the children who come, please let us know! This is a paid position. Heat It's hot out and the dancefloor is hot too! A gentle reminder to stay well-hydrated while dancing and afterwards as well. And it might be a good idea to bring a towel or change of shirt if you find yourself getting really sweaty! Carpooling Carpooling is a great option for getting to Dance Temple!! Meet at Embe Bakery at 6:40 pm to either give or get a ride! You can also check out theDance Temple Carpool group and post for linkups. A reminder of Intoxicant-Free Space Dance Temple is a safe and sacred space that is intoxicant-free. If you are partaking in any substances before you come to dance, please do so discreetly and be aware of any scent that you may bring with you into the dance space. When we dance we are in a heightened state of sensitivity and we can strongly affect one another.
