This April, I invite you to join me for five days of inner exploration into the voltage of presence, our ultraviolet starlight, our cellular radiance. Inspired by revelations of our most current scientific discoveries and ancient indigenous wisdom, I will craft a journey of movement and sound to carry us inward. Inside the body we find a cosmos, an infinite realm where presence abides. Here, we meet ourselves, pure and true, a wonder to behold, a song waiting to be heard.

Emilie Conrad began her inquiry in the early 1970’s fueled by a passionate desire to discover that most essential innerstanding – what am I? Her language was movement, breath and sound/vibration, inspired by what she witnessed in Haitian ritual trance. She knew intuitively that her existential questions could not be answered through rational or analytical means. Only direct experience through the body could touch the essence of what it means to be human and the body talks in movement, breath and sound.
We have over 53 trillion atoms in our body, winking in and out every millionth of a second. We are here, not here. These atoms form the architecture of our cells, the carriers of mitochondria, each one containing the ultraviolet light of stars. We are not made of star dust – we are made of starlight - starlight contained in water, conducted by water. We are a miracle of illumination, a radiance suspended in a field of flesh, each breath infusing precious oxygen into our continuous manifestation, moment by moment by moment.
Continuum, a practice of consciousness, of presence. Breath by breath, we drop attention deeper into felt sensation. A wave of sound/vibration oscillates the cellular sea of our inner ocean. Ripples of impulse spread through fluids, tissues. We are an undulating creature of unknown origins. Our imagination blossoms in visions of remembrance as we spiral in slow, sensual gestures of pure embodied pleasure. This body sings with movement. This body hums with resonant joy. This body loves. This body is Love.
