Suddenly, there was just movement, and then, there was nothing, just a vast
shimmering void of absolutely nothing at all.
For a while, as Susannah (my beloved) and Sarah (a good friend who supports us at
these ceremonies) held the space. I disappeared once again into that place that is
always waiting behind the doors of our perception. It is always there. It is us who
come and go.
This year, our Summer Long Dance will take
place June 28th to July 4th and at the time of
writing, there are still a few places left if you feel
in your heart to take your place and take the
journey.
To date, the School of Movement Medicine’s Long Dances have raised
well over £200,000-00 for a whole host of fantastic projects that
support people who would have no chance to attend the ceremony
itself.
This year, we are very honoured to have Manari Ushigua Kaji, a native of
the Sapara nationality from the Ecuadorian Amazon, visiting us. During his
years as a tribal and political leader, he has been the President of the Sápara
Nationality of Ecuador, the Binational Coordinator of the Sapara of Ecuador and
Peru and the Vice National Coordinator of the Indigenous Organizations of
Ecuador called CONAIE.
We met him this past January in his home village in the Amazon and we are
delighted that he will join us.
Sometimes, we have to take a leap in order to find out that the dance is
holding us. As Gabrielle Roth used to say:
‘After you jump and before
you land, there is God.’
