This week’s Dance First Member Spotlight is from Golden Bridge!
Golden Bridge is dedicated to Birthing a Generation of Globally Conscious ~ Embodied ~ Spiritual Leaders
Through the arts of body, heart, and soul, we support individuals and communities as they repair and move into collaborative service and leadership. Our leaders are empowered to move into the world from a place of deep kinesthetic connection with themselves, their people, with the earth, and with all of life, seen and unseen.
We recognize that embodied global leaders share specific principles for how we live and lead. We aim to model, educate, and inspire our community, near and far, to join us in our aspiration to live by the following principles. Time-tested processes that engage the arts of body, heart, and soul, inspire the emergence of socially-just leaders in service of life. In the face of worldwide breakdown, these leaders are focused on collective breakthroughs through their innovative educational, creative, and healing initiatives.
At the foundation of all of our programs is somatic, dance-based processes that educate people about how to renegotiate trauma and shock in the body; how to express oneself in radically authentic and life-serving ways; and how to access one’s vision, one’s will, and ultimately one’s capacity to practically develop and implement one’s creative work in the world. Our work around the world involves body-centered events, workshops, and trainings that invite individuals, groups, and communities into an intimate and direct dialogue with their challenges and, ultimately, their gifts.
We recognize that embodied global leaders share specific principles for how we live and lead. We aim to model, educate, and inspire our community, near and far, to join us in our aspiration to live by the following principles:
Embodiment: Living in dynamic and conscious connection with our bodies, our hearts, and our souls is a continuous path unfolding for each of us. We aim to develop and engage in practices that deepen our capacities to be body-centered learners and leaders.
Respect: Every person has a story, a gift, and a way of life that is as important as everyone else’s. In the same spirit, we remember that every living creature, including all of nature, is part of our family, and we aim to behave in a way that protects our collective future. Sustainability is the result of respect in action.
Creativity: All of life is an art project. We aspire to access, explore, and express our creativity at all times in ways that are life-giving. As an antidote to destruction, our lives are a dedication to Creation.
Community: We focus on creating programs that revitalize and serve diverse individuals and people in varying life-stages and life-circumstance. Honoring that we share the same earth, breath, Spirit, needs, and dreams of our neighbors, we seek ways to raise healthy human beings in the studio, in our homes, on our streets, in our day-to-day life through all the seasons. Building community through dance is a foundational part of our work around the world.
Global Consciousness: Recognizing that our lives are interwoven with all peoples and creatures worldwide, we respect that our choices impact the well-being of all life on this planet. We aim to remember and nurture our interdependence as we create our lives and move into sustainable service.
Life-Long Learning: Respecting that we are always on the front lines of our becoming, we remain open to life’s teachings, disciplined in our studies, and in gratitude for all of the opportunities we have to grow. Every day, we are students of life.
Our work is dedicated to our Collective Renewal through the Liberation of the Creative Spirit.
It has been developed to provide humanity with inner and interpersonal resources to meet the complexities of an ever-changing world.
And …
It is a living process that is somatic at its root, fueled by the warmth of the heart, and Sourced by the Spirit.
Please join us for this Moving journey from the longing of the Spirit to the Ecstasy of the ordinary.
