We are infinitely stronger, happier, and healthier when we are connected. This moment in particular calls on us to stay connected to our own inviolable truths. with others, and with the world around us. It takes time, practice, and presence in community to unearth what is possible.

The 2017 Tribal Gathering of Embodied Dancers is a time for communities and teachers to come together to find The Heart of Connection. To investigate our similarites and differences. To give and receive. To play with the back and forth of the individual and the group. To let the undercurrent of our dances be the language for working things through in an embodied way. A place where heart, mind, body, and spirit all have room and permission to be at home and play. Come join us for a dancing exploration about the individual, community, and connection.

With the intention of further nurturing unity and deeper connection between dance tribes, our Tribal Gathering is being held for the very first time outside Olympia. The 2017 Gathering will be held at beautiful Presence Studio in Bellingham WA. As such it is a co-production and joyful collaboration between OlyWaves (Ronny Temple) and Presence Studio (Jenny Macke).

Our 2017 Tribal Gathering features teachers of 5Rhythms, Open Floor, and Soul Motion, each offering their unique perspective on the shared theme The Heart of Connection. As always, the Gathering also includes a fabulous catered outdoor dinner party and embodied dancers, new friends and old, from around the globe.
