Fluid Resilience Canadian tour August-September 2024
It’s with great pleasure to share that the tour of Fluid Resilience to Canada this past August and early September was so very successful on several levels, many thanks to all who supported this to make it thrive.
The Pathways to Sustainability (PECS-3) conference in Montreal was utterly inspiring. It was such a unique opportunity to meet scientists and researchers in the field dedicated to the depth of interconnectivity of humans and Nature; socio-ecological resilience and sustainability.
With accumulated decades of research, work and pioneering in this field, it was impressive to be witness to the exchanges of individuals, groups, organisations and publishers who have the dedication to assist us all to negotiate the climate and environmental impacts of our time. Deeply understanding our connection to Nature, as a strategy to manage this, is a tethering line to hopefulness.
A video of a Fluid Resilience performance, edited by Ben Mergelsberg, was installed and ran for the duration of the conference. I offered a workshop in the same space as this installation which was a chance to share with scientists and researchers my approaches to dance, craniosacral consciousness and connection to Nature. It generated a positive and inclusive atmosphere of exchange which was uplifting.
Ottawa Dance Directive’s hosting and presentation of Fluid Resilience in September was a vibrant exchange.
ODD’s Artistic Director Yvonne Coutts, has stood behind this project since 2018 and ushered it into being in many ways. So grateful and inspired by her integrity and commitment to dance. Thanks as well to assiciate director Lana Morton and Laura Wheeler of ODD’s team. We were also able to close a circle on a project we did together in 2021, a residency Coutts named ‘Reclaiming Attention”, and members of that residency were present in in the audiences. It was truly wonderful.
Sigal Zouk and Jared Gradinger were exceptional co-performers, and Ludger Orlok, Creative Cultural Manager held a space for exchange and development for future works. An honour to host these Berlin-based artists and connect them to a part the Canadian Dance community.
Ben Mergerlsberg’s Documentary-style film of Fluid Resilience played at Arts Court, Digital Resource Centre, September 7th, produced by myself and in part funded by many of you who donated to the Go Fund Me, was warmly received. Ben’s dramaturgy focused on long-term relationship of mine, with people, places, and Nature. Looking forward to showing it in other places and formants soon.

A couple weeks ago I was fortunate to be invited to Tictac Arts Centre Brussels to teach my practices. This is a creative hub that was started by 2018 by David Zambrano and Mat Voorter that is so vibrant and dedicated to dance, and art and performance. It was amazing to be a part of this and to reconnect to the Brussels dance community. I also had an opportunity to perform in a shared evening with Thi Mai Nguyen. I presented: a solo/distance duo.

Private sessions in Craniosacral Dynamic Expansion
Craniosacral Dynamic Expansion private sessions
I am continuing to enjoy and share my new and stunningly beautiful accessible practice space in Schlesischstr. 20 Fabrikgebäude, Kreuzberg.
Practice:
Craniosacral/Expanded Consciousness sessions have many benefits for wellness including: deeply easing stress, deep rest for the nervous system, increased vitality, unwinding of unwanted habits, and increased general well-being. Craniosacral also has many benefits for Health (active definition of health: as "not a state but a search for equilibrium") including; improving eyesight/vision, reduced acute pain, rehabilitation in the neural field, learning disabilities, gross and fine motor problems, developmental delays, headaches, tinnitus, TMJ syndrome, stress disorders, trauma and neurological conditions.
Craniosacral Dynamic Expansion is a hybrid practice which I developed incorporating 25+ years of Craniosacral practices together with expanded consciousness, movement awareness and co-creative work with Nature. I work co-creatively with each client given one's individuality and needs. Please note that some themes and issues could find resolution in one session, some in three to four sessions and others over time.
Long-Distance Practice
I also practice long-distance sessions, done over audio calls, or video calls. I have received very positive feedback over the last decade, and one of the beautiful benefits of these sessions is I am able to offer continuity for my international clients or for those in Germany who do not reside in Berlin or with those that prefer to be in their private space for this one-to-one work. Please be in touch if this mode of working interests you.
I continue to develop and exchange this work with my regular clients who inspire me constantly, and I am open to welcoming new clients as my schedule permits.
