For the last few months, I’ve been hobbling around with recurring pain in my heel. Sometimes the discomfort gets me down and I feel myself saying “I’ve had enough”.Then I get to spend an hour in the surf, blissfully unaware of those nagging physical issues. I feel happy and fulfilled. I have enough.
In conversation with a friend about parenting, something said hurts me. I have a feeling of failure. I’m not good enough.
Yet I have reasonable health, live in a country with no war, clean drinking water, adequate food and warmth. Surely that is enough?
When is it enough? When am I enough?
In this mad world, even my toaster has a button called “a little more”. Not toasted enough!
My mental tug-of-war is best silenced by two things. Either dancing a 5Rhythms Wave or pouring my creativity into offering Waves to dancers.
So after 20 years dancing and teaching, hearing so many versions of the “not-enough” story from other dancers, I offer this workshop as a place to deeply explore – what is ‘enough?’.
The workshop takes inspiration from Van Gogh’s words. For each individual and collectively. Celebrating dance for it’s simple pleasure and to help us resist modern societal forces that I believe, manufacture compare-despair & discontent. Reclaiming our true creative nature.
In this weekend, we’ll use the 5Rhythms map to move us out of the chat room into a place where we can feel more whole and connected. We’ll expand our movement vocabulary, better understand the ‘not-enough’ loop and change the conversations we have with ourselves.
We’ll dance, share, learn and help each other remember…
That we are enough.
