Im currently on a road trip, driving to the Pacific Northwest for my summer vacation. It is thanks to the generous support and connections of several friends that this wonderful trip is possible. Thank you Nina Von Feldmann, Manoj Mathew, Veronica Fernmoss, Scot Robinson, Bruce Carloye, and Beth Hollingsworth for your warm encouragement and blessings! Im excited to attend Dance Camp Northwest, the Seattle Festival of Dance Improvisation, and later in August, the one and only Beloved Festival in Oregon :D Im realizing the great POTENCY of these large conscious dance gatherings and the incredible benefits that come with diving into these immersive participatory events. In the words of Barbara Ehrenreich: THE URGE TO DANCE OUTDOORS, to mock the powerful and embrace perfect strangers is not easy to suppress . . . THE CAPACITY FOR COLLECTIVE JOY IS ENCODED INTO US almost as deeply as the capacity for the erotic love of one human for another. We can live without it, as most of us do, but only at the risk of succumbing to the solitary nightmare of depression. Why not reclaim our distinctively human heritage as creatures who generate their own ecstatic pleasures out of MUSIC, COLOR, FEASTING, and DANCE . . . the chance, which we need much more of on this crowded planet, to acknowledge the miracle of our simultaneous existence with some sort of celebration. THATS what these epic dance and music gatherings are all about! THATS what the Texas Archaic Revival Festival is all about. What a delight and a blessing it is to immerse in these rich gatherings and what an HONOR it is to create, brew up, and curate my very own sacred dance and music festival down in Texas with my Archaic Revival co-directors Diana Persha and Asa Psi-gamma Walker and the rest of my team: Zach Nasr, Kenny Peake, Peggy Sue Skipper, Matt Dietrichson, and Adam Daniels.Archaic Revival 2015 will be EPIC! Bigger, Broader, and Bolder as we continue to EXPAND, GROW, EVOLVE, AND BLOSSOM. Im taking notes as I travel to our sister gatherings in the Northwest and bringing home the juju ;) Texas...youre in my heart
