This series is a way to connect, ground, and share healing space before I step into rest and rejuvenation.

✨ A Word from a Longtime Dancer
“Starting the week with Karen’s Monday classes has become one of my most important weekly rituals. Her presence is grounding and radiant, leaving me with a felt sense of my own power, strength, and softness every single time. Karen’s classes are joyful and generous spaces, and she is a magnificent teacher.”
— Laura Saldivar Luna, Founder Piñata Possible @pinatapossible

“Don’t [dance] to fix yourself, to heal yourself, to improve yourself, to redeem yourself; rather, do it as an act of love, of deep warm friendship to yourself. In this way there is no longer any need for the subtle aggression of self-improvement, for the endless guilt of not doing enough. It offers the possibility of an end to the ceaseless round of trying so hard that wraps so many people’s lives in a knot. Instead there is now [dance] as an act of love. How endlessly delightful and encouraging.” 

— from Bob Sharples’ Meditation: Calming the Mind

“The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we are weak and sing with us when we are strong.”
