“Liberated Booty is an expanded consciousness around one’s own booty. Its power. Its magic. Its myths. Liberated Booty is an affirmation and a reminder of the “global booty,” the super power that humanity collectively represents as the caretakers of a sacred life-force energy. My Liberated Booty process invites everyone to enjoy the responsibility and the work of celebrating, elevating, and activating all our booties, for personal and planetary benefits.” ~~ Binahkaye Joy

“the voice is a part of the body” ~~ Greta Mendez ::: this is a valuable lesson i learned last year in trinidad while attending greta’s acting workshops. it’s seems simple enough, but there is a depth to its truth that has inspired many meditations on movement, body, voice, and silence. experiencing my voice as real as i do my feet, or my arms, or my booty is a great experiment in the evolving space activation methodology. thank you greta!

finding the warm spot | the space where the dance opens up. the movement begins to flow in an expansive way. the dance unravels through the space. a power from within takes shape in the space all around.

the mountain {{{ dream }}}
i am walking up a steep mountain. the fog is thick. it consumes the mountain’s peak. there is a nothingness to all this vastness. i am alone but others are still close by. bone quiet. nothing but the foot steps. the path takes shape only by what can be felt. a sea of unseens. a blind fish swimming in the space.
i lie down on the path. soft ground. clean, forgiving dirt. even though this is a mountain. my mouth opens. a howl falls from my tongue. plunges deep under the earth. the mountain swallows my sound. the grief is muffled.
it feels so good. to scream. yes, the air would have welcomed me too. but the mountain is ancient. and solid. it takes it away, warmly. when i push my voice into its hands. it doesn’t push back.
i peel myself off the ground. lighter this time. others are resting near me. before the next climb. the fog is still there. forward i go. the peak sneaks up on me. the mountain suddenly stops. there is nothing left of this mystery.
the fog breaks into sun. below the fall is a happy land. the people on the other side have hands outstretched. i am crying. not from sadness, but from relief. they have built stairs into the mountain. descending from the surprise peak to a circle of grass. they greet me.
a woman sits. still amongst all the bustle. there is a buzz of morning joy in the air. and it moves around her but does not move her. she motions to me. her eyes say: “come, sit with me. i will take care of you. help you adjust to your new community.” seated in front of her, she rubs my back. relaxed, breathing, crying, just being. i ponder this new place. my deliverance a bright space. the people have been waiting. for my arrival. i am here.
