This dance’s intention: Ready

Please park in the areas designated by the pins on this map. There are close locations for those with mobility challenges.

Ready for the light and the dark.
For the known and the unknown.
For heartbreak, for joy.

This collaborative dance between AMC, Warren Wilson, and Emberlight (Center for Conscious Living & Dying) is an invitation to explore how ready we really are.

Please contribute up the sliding scale to support Emberlight. 100% of proceeds go directly to Emberlight!

So often, we feel not ready,
and then find ourselves meeting the moment anyway.
Surprising ourselves with our capacity,
our community,
our love.

In the night we sang to storms

Before the peace that breaks at dawn

How did we doubt the evening sun

We didn't know we were ready.

With the answers at our feet

Will we break the grounds beneath

What if the dreams were ours to keep

What if the silence said it
~ Ólafur Arnalds

At Warren Wilson College -- where he is professor of psychology and expressive arts therapy -- Bob facilitates ecstatic dance as a part of the community wellness program, bringing a grounded, experienced presence to the floor.
