ALCHEMY - Elder Honoring. Elder Offering
Alchemy is a 3-day intensive moving journey in the Rocky Mountains, October 4-6, 2024.
Alchemy is a gathering of kindred souls who share a love of and dedication to movement as a path for awakening, transformation, connection, and liberation. The Elders who will be guiding the daily process each have decades of evolution on the dance floor of life, actualizing inwardly, interpersonally, and professionally. They understand the science and the magic of movement for human evolution. They have been tempered and emptied in such a way that the medicine of movement moves through them in original and inspired ways.
So often in the field of conscious dance, we orient towards what is new and shiny. This group is wrinkly and wonderous. Younger, newer teachers on the path will benefit from being taught and lovingly held by those who deeply embody what can only come with time.
We need our Elders. These individuals are pioneers, innovators, lineage crafters and carriers. Refined through their decades of dancing and working with people in the midst of change, their stories and teachings can serve as guides for all those on the teaching path. Tempered by life, they have navigated through many seasons and cycles. They have stayed the course, never giving up, yet surrendering ever more. Their bodies are weathered and wise. Their hearts ever warmer. Their sight ever clearer. They are spirited, soul centric friends of the world.
They are listening to the Ancestors as they prepare to become ones.
Elder blessings are treasures, polishing the jewels that we all are becoming together.

What Does Water Want? Online Summit
A Free Online Summit About
Regenerating Ecosystems and Ourselves
Join us live from August 1-4 for expert teachings and conversations on ecological restoration and climate resilience, accompanying a limited online screening of the “Water is Love” documentary. Come learn with us and take an active part in the regeneration revolution!
Recommended: Indigenous Water Ethics
Indigenous peoples are the most impacted by decisions made about our waterways. Indigenous original instructions embedded in our languages and ancient stories, ceremonies and rituals maintain, sustain and protect biodiversity. We will have two panels of Indigenous speakers from various regions of the world. Speakers will address the central roles of Indigenous knowledges and Indigenous governance as real solutions. Speakers will connect Indigenous water ethics to Indigenous resurgence, sovereignty, self-determination, land rematriation and decolonization. The intention is to reclaim and recenter the historical practices and leadership of Indigenous peoples as indispensable governance and knowledge pathways to restoring ecosystems and achieving sustainability. International Indigenous water statements and declarations that reflect this will be discussed in this session.
Read about the Indigenous Water Ethics event on the New School blog.

Water is Love Animation Premier
Join the ‘Water is Love’ team for the Animation premiere on November 1st at 6pm GMT | 2pm ET
with a live Q&A with the Film Team, the illustrator, Charlène Chesnier and sound designer of the animation track, Tamara Montenegro.
To register for this event:
Make sure you have pre-registered on this platform so you have access to the film during the premiere.
As part of the upcoming documentary series, Water is Love, we explore the crucial relation between water cycles and the climate. In this original and brand new 12 minute animation, we portray the healthy water cycle, the consequences of its destruction and how it can be restored.
During COP26, from now until November 12th, we're offering you this exclusive sneak preview of the animation.
We believe this is a crucial link that's so far been missing in the climate conversation. If the world can hear it this revolutionary message, it might change the direction of the climate movement from adaptation to regeneration, from centralized to decentralized solutions, from seeking tech-fixes to healing our relationship with the living Earth.
We are still crowdfunding to raise 50,000 euros so that we can complete the production of the documentary series. If you resonate with bringing water and love into the climate conversation...
