Together We Rise: A Dancing Freedom Journey

What we are living through is not happening in isolation.
This is collective trauma — whether we are consciously tracking it or not.
The helplessness.
The fear.
The anger.
The grief for what is unraveling, and the longing for what can still be born.
We feel it in our bubbles, this beauty that is rising at the same time as the
brutality is growing just outside of our field.
Getting closer and closer.

And so this dance is an invitation,
To rise together.
Not to bypass what’s happening — but to meet it together.
To let our bodies speak where language fails.
To grieve what is breaking.
To remember that rising does not mean domination or force.

The systems that have carried us this far have run us off the road.
But the way back isn’t the highway we came on,
it’s a softer path, one we make together.
A trail on soft pine needles through an untouched forest.
Slower. Wilder. More alive.

This is an invitation into collaboration.
Into circular, relational, matriarchal ways of being,
Where no one rises alone.
Come feel held in the not-knowing.
Come breathe, sweat, shake, soften.
Come remember that even in uncertainty, we are not alone
and we are not powerless.

Let us gather.
Let us move.
Let us rise — together.
