EARTH AWAKE
MythDance
A Ritual journey of embodied storytelling
with live drumming in the forest
Upcoming Events:
Stay tuned here and on my special events page for a super exciting up-and-coming collaboration in 2026…
MythDance is weaving of movement, meditation, and story. Through practices of embodiment and imagination, we bring to life the stories that want to be told.
Myths are stories which have been told throughout the ages; they speak both to our personal stories and to the stories present in the collective. We look into the Soul of the Self, into the Soul of the Collective, and dance these stories into being in a new way. In telling our story, we heal. In creating our story, we evolve.
May we listen more deeply to ourselves, to each other, and to the Truth held within the myth...
MythDance is currently in its fourth incarnation. Click the button below to discover more…but first:
You can read about the story behind the storytelling here.
After each MythDance, a poem-gift is woven, in honor of the journey and words spoken from the dancers, in honor of Life. Please scroll down for both text and audio versions.

Return of the Sun
30 April 2026
The river of the ancestors
Flows through
Sun-lit rock fields
Underground.
I only
Found it
Because I stopped
One day
To pray:
“God, shine your Light into the
Waters of my Being!”
We commanded.
We cried.
We ached.
We made peace
As the breaking
Rocks, contracts and cages
Shook the river free
Oh, gratitude of grace!
The Earth had closed
Her lips over its singing
Silver tongues
Long ago
For safe-keeping
Bracing the impact
Of its loss
With her thoughts
Of one day finding it again...
But now -
Gratitude of Grace!
Now is not the time for
Safe-keeping
Or for cages
Or for the grey garments
Of ages gone by
Tightly woven,
Tightly woven...
Pry your fingers loose,
Child
You must not hold
The threads
Of the world together
Better to surrender,
To this river spilling over
Onto banks
Of nettle and heather
Better to listen to
This river
Of your own living blood,
The one below the surface,
The one that remembers:
What has been lost and frozen
Will be returned
To the light of the Sun
You will come to
That overflowing revelation
Of your Being
As you have always
Done
