How do you learn things nowadays? What kind of learner are you? Do you find that learning new skills, talents, or techniques keeps you help your mind body and soul more limber?

Everyone has a preferred way of garnering knowledge. But knowledge isn’t the only kind of thing there is to learn. Learning a new skill can require you to improve your manual dexterity, for instance.

Learning to dance introduces your body to a world of new moves. Anything athletic is an entire symphony of motion.

Perhaps most importantly of all, especially in the context of the last couple years, is learning how to release, let go, and practice acceptance.

One thing we’ve all gotten used to lately is the idea that maybe you don’t have to be in the same room with someone to exchange knowledge, presence, or inspiration.

Sure, it’s nice to be able to see and smell and hear all of the tiny details and subtle nuances of an in-person teacher.

But then again, being face-to-face with a teacher from the other side of the world without having to get on a plane is pretty nice too!

Which brings me to this weeks opportunity. Our dear friends and longtime Conscious Dancer associates Amara Pagano and Pier Paolo de Angelis are hosting another one of their epic gatherings and you have the ability to attend from wherever in the interconnected world you might be.

The Embodied Movement Conference is a free online event happening in just a few days, so be sure to sign up right away. From Feb 4th to 9th you can immerse yourself in over 40 different experiential offerings from a carefully curated collection of leaders in the Embodied Movement field.

Drawing from the many different practices and disciplines related to the felt experience of the human body in motion such as conscious dance, indigenous wisdom, breath work, yoga, somatic inquiry, science, body intelligence, energy healing, nutrition, and spirituality, this smorgasbord of inspiration is generously offered to you in real-time completely free of charge.

Invest your time with leaders such as Amara Pagano, Melissa Michaels, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Andrea Juhan, Ph.D., Adam Barley, Ya’Acov and Susannah Darling Khan, Mark Hyman, MD, Jennifer Joy Jiménez, Al Lagunero, Sofiah Thom, Rebecca Ann and Dallas Chief-Eagle, Amber Ryan, Edgar Spieker, Kate Shela, Dr Martha Eddy, Parashakti, and many more.

These kind of opportunities don’t happen everyday so do yourself a favor, sign up today, and plan for an embodied immersion like no other. With a wide variety of offerings you can plan on dropping in to your moving body with dynamic guides, learning by listening to experienced leaders, and witnessing wise words of wisdom in conversation with elders.

There’s something for everyone, so don’t miss out. We’d like to thank Amara, Pier Paolo and the Embodied Movement Conference team for their hard work and conscious creativity putting all of this together for the community.

Yours in movement, much love till next week!
