Blessings of summer! I hope you are having a refreshing and restorative season! I mentioned in my last missive that I was heading on pilgrimage to the magical island of Bali (in Indonesia.) What an amazing adventure in dance, spirit, and artistry! How blessed that my friend, Agnotti Cowie organized this immersion trip through InterPlay so we could create our own beauty as well as join in the dance, music, mask-making, & shadow puppetry of Bali.

Steve Wodzanowski With Steve’s invitation, this was the perfect opportunity to bring Trinity to life in a joyous embodied way. I was able to invite two of my dancing friends from our Thea Bowman production to be part of a dancing trio with me. At Abbey of the Arts we have just completed the launch of our new Prayer Cycle!

Happy Easter season! I hope you are enjoying the flowering of Spring and the gifts of resurrection in your life. I have so much to share! Mostly I want to say that we did it! We completed our Thea Bowman play – I Will Live Until I Die, written by ValLimar Jansen and performed by a cast of 50 folks here in Seattle! We also launched the video podcasts for the Soul of a Pilgrim Prayer Cycle at Abbey of the Arts, led the Awakening the Spirit retreat with Kayce Hughlett, had an article on movement in spiritual direction published, and celebrated a 50 year reunion of cast members for Cyrano de Bergerac.
