Gaia Tribal Debut

September 5th me and my newest dance buddy were able to debut Gaia Tribal. This is a 100% improvisational ATS troupe that embraces all the ATS styles and flavors. Gaia is believed to be a Goddess of Creation and this is a really fun and exciting new creation. We celebrate all things bohemian and perform for fun, friends, and female empowerment.

Debut of Troupe Tavari

I am so excited to announce that I am now dancing and creating with a wonderful group of ladies here in Alaska. We are Troupe Tavari and we had our debut during the Mira Betz workshop in Fairbanks the weekend of June 28th. I am so excited about all that we have planned. We will be teaching and performing in and around Alaska. We are already being so well received. Samadhi is always in my heart and all I am able to do here is because of my experience dancing with and then directing Samadhi. I cant wait to bring us both together in the future!

"Dancing's not work. You can't call it work. A day I don't dance is a day I don't live."

A day I don't dance is a day I don't live. That is so accurate. Thankfully, I can continue to dance and live as i start off a new chapter in my life. I have had the pleasure of meeting some truly tribal women here in Alaska and they are the ladies of the Sacred Dance Company. I have been embraced and welcomed by Joanna and her group. I will be teaching and dancing and collaborating with them in hopes of creating some really good things. I just wanted to publicly thank them for including me and the support they are giving as I settle in. I am so excited about things to come!

More News.....A Red Thread To China

I am excited to announce more good news as we prepare for the next phase of our Alaska Adventure. We have decided to start the process to adopt a child from China. It is a waiting child program for children who are older or disabled and we are being pre-approved for a 4 year old boy. This program is fantastic. This agency works to bring orphans from around the world into homes where they will have families of their own. They subsidize the cost of adoption through grants and fund raising and offer aid to orphanages around the world. We have had this on our hearts for some time but never thought it would be possible. Our move to Alaska has opened so many doors for us.

Absinthe now legal in America....In fact it was Oscar Wilde who sums it up perfectly

"The first stage is like ordinary drinking, the second when you begin to see monstrous and cruel things, but if you can persevere you will enter in upon the third stage where you see things that you want to see, wonderful curious things." "Absinthe has a wonderful colour, green. A glass of absinthe is as poetical as anything in the world. What difference is there between a glass of absinthe and a sunset?" --Wilde

the power and attraction of absinthe lies in its inherent contradictions, though fortified with a formidable measure of alcohol, a depressant, it is also infused with powerful herbal stimulants, creating a psychic tug of war in the mind of the imbiber. Alcohol relaxes inhibitions and invites in new ideas, and the stimulants allow you to logically process the new data.
