In this series of monthly virtual gatherings, we will explore the landscape of our Pandemic lives, and open the unexpected gifts, as well as the sadnesses, the letting go, the longing, the missing.
Since the winter of 2020 we all have been living with at least an undercurrent of stress from the Covid-19 Pandemic. For some, it has changed life radically, whether or not you or a loved one has contracted the virus. Working, shopping, all aspects of our lives have been altered. Just as we thought we could relax our guard, the Delta Variant swept in.
We will utilize spacious and relaxing methods, such as breathing, mindful movement of a very gentle sort (seated or standing), guided meditation, and storytelling. You will bring your own materials for writing or drawing, creating a little space, whatever you wish, maybe a musical instrument. Everyone chooses how to record their process and sharing with the group is always an option. Tracy Penfield will be the primary facilitator, with occasional guest artists. Each month the content will vary and drop-ins are always welcome!
1st Sunday of the month, 4-5:30pm EST

I am returning to creative dance and performance after many years of running SafeArt out of Chelsea VT (www.safeart.org). The Passing Project is a collaboration of mine with Tamara Hurwitz Pullman, with whom I danced in Montana in the early 80's. We began playing with the Passing theme in 2012 and are finally bringing it as work-in-progress to LAndARTLab in Sept, then premiering it April 28, 2018 at Chandler Center for the Arts in Randolph VT. The dancers and musicians are creating the piece with us. Otto Pierce, who is dancing in the piece, is also collaborating with me on a sculptural set of wooden figures with knotless netted linen forms. This sculpture will represent the veil between the worlds, which part and allow entry to The Thin Place, a place of transformation and transcendence in Celtic lore.
