I can’t thank you enough for the courage and the love for us it took to share this journey of descent and return with us.
You model what it means to be a healer/shaman/priestess – not only did you do the work of healing yourself – a great gift to begin with, for when we choose life, go into the underworld to be stripped of ourselves and then climb back up regain joy, we do it for all of us, whether we know it or not. But to then bring the work we’ve done into consciousness and consciously craft pain and sorrow into art – that truly completes the heroine’s journey.
I saw Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’s work in your dance as well as Gabrielle Roth’s. It gave me a tiny glimpse into your creative process which was fascinating and rewarding in itself – so many levels on which you shared.
Mother’s always carry an enormous potential for grief in our consciousness. at least I do. Your dance eased that fear a little, let me shake myself a little free-er. Thank you.
