This is a come as you are party. Bring your curiosity, your wild, your tired, your Friday afternoon longing for some weekend spaciousness.

Rhythm, breath, and community connection will be our allies as we dance through what is and open to what can be. Every body is welcome.

For 4 decades, Melissa has been creating movement-based, cross-cultural educational opportunities liberating the potential that is available during major life transitions. Her work somatically supports people as they navigate through the narrow passageways of these challenging times.
