dancing the WE

“The need for connection and community is primal,

as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food.”

_Dean Ornish

Life does not move in isolation. Beneath the stories of separation lies a deeper truth. Everything is held in a cosmic embrace within which we are invited to dance. When we dance in a group this becomes tangible. I have my own dance and yet it is held within the safety of the group. When we dance together, we are bring our presence to each other as individual contributions to the greater dance.

The power of dancing in a group is that we can surrender the illusion of individuality without losing our essence. It is an invitation to move beyond the “I” into the living field that arises when we are present together. Dance becomes a language of empathy where differences become harmony.

In this shared field something sacred awakens. The group becomes a living organism where each person is a vital cell of the whole. These collective dances allow us to not only experience our connection with others but also a deeper connection with life itself. In this space the intelligence of the group becomes the intelligence of existence itself as we connect to the eternal dance of WE.

_Christos Daskalakos
