Spiritweaves™: Rites of Belonging
Michael Molin-Skelton  &  Susan Harper
Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place in the family of things. –Mary Oliver

Rites of Belonging is a call to bring forth our unique offering: our own way of being in this world. In this retreat we explore intimacy and the relational capacity of the heart to refine the compass of our own genuine longing and belonging.

WHAT WE WILL DO
Using the awakening energy of dancing through the 5 Rhythms®, Soul Motion™,
we will move with the grace of our belonging and the struggles of our exclusion.

Through the organismic movements and sounding in the inquiry style of
Continuum Montage we will explore the intelligent dynamics of the elements—water, air, fire, earth, and space—in our bodies; deepening our inherent
connection to our wild breathing planetary body.

Through movement and ritual, we will explore the meaning of how and where we belong in ourselves and our lives, and the places we feel exiled from ourselves and others. We will actively step into the participation required to belong, responding to the call that stirs a deep inner longing to fall into the place we call home. We will experience the possibility of resting through our bodies and listening to the
silences within; to trust and surrender as gravity repeatedly tells us
‘I have a place for you: it is called here.’

MiCHAEL MOLIN-SKELTON- reaches through dance rather than teaches to dance. “Dance is not something I do, it’s simply who I am.” He creates Spirit Weaves events with his beloved wife, Anneli Molin-Skelton in Los Angeles and internationally.
