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.

The cathedral of the forest
Is porous,
Letting in the
Light of God
Here
Walk along River's
Sinuous Song
Walk on
Her Waters!
May the Sons and Daughters
Who walked before,
The Sons and Daughters
Who will walk after,
The Sons and Daughters
Who walk with,
Know this:
As you walk,
The Way is shown.
As you walk,
Ocean whispers golden
In your blood.
As you walk,
Your feet simply know
Where to go.
Even at the crossroads,
Even at the confluence
Of confusion
Where tricksters spit
Illusions -
You
Are
The
Way
Swaying trees
Relay reconciliation
Of above and below
Of snake and of god
Of dams and of flow
Dear One,
Know this:
You cannot go wrong.
You are part of
Gaia's Great Dream,
Where your
OceanHeartSong
Has shown the Way
All along
The Swans and the White String of Epiphany
Full moon, 31 May 2026
Beneath the dark
Gold-speckled skies,
They grieved
With Tita, the Great Weaver
Both Fire and Water
Had seen
What war means:
How their beliefs
Became weapons.
How a great net of cobwebs
Had covered
The lands.
How by their own hands,
Paradise had been lost.
Yet
The sands
Of time
Are generous
And give us our
Awakening,
Making use of
What has come before
Cobwebs
Become star-woven
Grieving shrouds;
War
Becomes a door
To remember what is
More important than gold;
Mourning
Become morning,
And shores once borders
Become meeting grounds
Where new stories are told
So at the crossroads,
Beautiful one,
Soften into your bones.
There is nothing
You need to reach alone, and
There is nothing Unknown
That you need to know.
In this River of Life,
Sun-Fire already sparkles on
Water!
Where
sweet
stepping
stones
of metamorphosis
already show
the way
to go
Return of the Sun
Full moon, 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
