Nice things written..

March 11, 2008
Baxter is part mythologist, part preacher, part goddess-worshipper, 100% authentic hoopdance mentor! I feel so blessed and honored to have been able to attend so many of his classes. He is honest, straightforward, inspired and encouraging. He takes his teaching practice seriously as an act of divine download and his storytelling and techniques provide a tangible methodology to cultivate a *real* personal practice. You empower. Thank you!

Baxter has met his goal of promoting hooping as a spiritual practice and serving the community times ten.
His passion for the hoop is quiet but deeply contagious, and full of strong passion. His contributions to the hooping community run deep and wide, and will affect all of us hoopers forever. I know these are strong words, but they are true! His style is mesmerizing and a wonder to behold, and inspires me in many ways. He is generous with his gifts, and has a wicked sense of humor as the cherry on top. I am blessed to know him!

HoopPath Happenings and Workshops

HoopPath: San Diego (events » arts) Thursday, February 5, 2009 - 8:30 PM February 5th, and 6th, 2009.

SUPER LAST MINUTE!!!

We are coming to beautiful San Diego California in just under two weeks due to some last minute, but very fortunate, turns of events. The lovely Nayeli (Thanks, Friend!) of San Diego has found a quaint spot for us to hold a two day workshop series. The hours are a little strange for us, but we think that this will make for a very special and very unique workshop experience.

If you have questions about the workshops, please write me at baxter@hooppath.com.

All of our workshops are BYOH.

When:

Day One: Thursday, February 5th, 2009, 8:30-10:30 pm.

HoopPath: SoCal (events » arts) Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 9:00 AM What’s up, Southern California?!

I know this coming as late notice, but we have finally got the details worked out and are coming to your little piece of heaven on February 11th and 12th! I have taught in Ojai before, but never Ventura. We are very, very excited to see (and teach in) what we have been told is one of the most beautiful spots in California. We have found an ENORMOUS space in which to hold these workshops and we would love to fill it with those folks in, around, and outside of the Los Angeles area. We will be teaching a two day workshop series, with an option to buy the first day only.

Due to the super-short notice and the ample room of the workshop space, we would like to extend a “Bring-A-Friend” discounts to this workshop series. While our individual pass price is set at $120 for both days (3hrs + 3 hrs), when you purchase two tickets, both tickets are reduced by 20 dollars each (two tix = $200). If you have two friends you would like to bring, you can purchase three tickets for $270 ($90 per ticket for both days!) We are also extending this discount to Day One Only tickets for those who cannot make both days, or want to try us out before committing to Day Two. (Please note: there is only one B.A.F. discount for Day One tickets: Individual ($65), B.A.F (two tix=$110, $55 a piece.) To receive this price, just select the appropriate “Bring-A-Friend” ticket options. Please note that these options are for two to three tickets (your Friend(s) will not need to purchase separately.)

When:

Day One: Wednesday, February 11th, 2009, 7pm-10:00 pm.

HoopPath: NYC (Halloween Weekend) "The Warrior Path" (events » arts) Friday, October 30, 2009 - 6:00 PM 292 RSVPs Hello, NYC! I am very excited to unveil my new workshop series, The Warrior Path on the weekend of October 30th-Novemeber 1st, 2009. The Warrior Path is a brand new workshop with new terms, techniques, and exercises intended to introduce hoopers to what we call “Warrior” style hooping. This concept combines on and off body techniques with rapid current and plane changes. The Warrior Path techniques are integrated with internal, meditative foci, as well, to help the hooper open up to their own stillness and clarity.

The HoopPath has taught Warrior techniques since it’s inception, but this will be the first time that we have concentrated this much time and energy on this wonderfully beautiful and unique approach to hoop dance. We assure you that even those who have taken HoopPath classes and workshops before will come away with new terms and concepts to further their own hoop practice. This is indeed the long awaited second chapter so many of you have asked for over the last year.

Within the HoopPath Community, the term, “Warrior” refers to an indomitable attitude or spirit to which each of us has access and, through mindful practice, can foster and grow within ourselves. The techniques of The Warrior Path help us to explore and develop an inner calm and resilience that strengthens and improves our hoop dance, while also teaching us more about our own personal power away from the hoop.

While this workshop is very much a continuation of our past workshops, we have designed this series to be equally accessible to those who have never taken an HP class before. If you have not taken a workshop with us before, you will need to sign up for Day One. Day one of WP will be very similar to Day One of our other workshops. If you have not been to one of our workshops before, you should know that the skills covered in Day One are hardly ‘beginner.’ Day One sets up the terms, concepts, and foundational techniques upon which all the advanced teaching rests. Day One is easily the favorite day of most returning students.

The tickets for this workshop are offered in a variety of packages. Before when we have traveled to NYC, we have had such little space that we have been unable to offer any discounts. This time around we are very excited to have a space large enough that we can offer essentially “specials.” Here are a list of our options for HP: NYC:

Days 1, 2, and 3

Days 1 and 2

Days 2 and 3 (For returning students).

Single Day tickets for all 3 days will go onsale on Wednesday, 10/28/09.

We are VERY excited to offer, for the first time in NYC, “Bring a Friend” pricing. This means that when you and a buddy buy your tickets (two tickets) together (in one transaction) your individual tickets are discounted. If you bring 2 friends (3 tickets total) you receive an even greater price break. **Please note that you will select the “Bring-A-Friend” option to purchase TWO passes for the selected days, or THREE passes if you select “Bring-2 Friends.” These tickets are non-refundable, so make sure that your friends are committed before purchasing.

If you can only make one of the three days, don’t worry, we will be selling single day tickets beginning on Wednesday, October 28th.

Buy your tickets here: www.etix.com/ticket/onli...ueSearch.jsp

Prices for 3 day pass:

Individual = $170 (9 hrs)

Bring-A-Friend (2 tix) = $300

Bring-2 Friends (3 tix) = $420

Prices for 2 day packages:

Individual = $120 (6 hrs)

Bring-A-Friend (2 tix) = $200

Bring-2 Friends (3 tix) = $270

Hoop Camp Reflections

I'm back home in Carrboro, NC, this morning sitting with a cold, half-full, cup of coffee next to me trying to sort out my thoughts and feelings about my visit to northern California this past weekend for the first ever Hoop Camp. I'm still a little dizzy from the experience. Yet, I don't want to let this moment pass without writing my thoughts and feelings down before day-to-day life takes back over. Forgive me for the lack of organization here, but I, too often, let... read more
