Focused in-person work
11 hours/monthπ 01 / ARRIVAL / 11:11
Welcome to the threshold.
Nine moons for the Dance to remember itself.
A sacred agreement for movement, manifestation, embodied leadership, clean boundaries, and the intelligence that arrives when the body becomes the teacher.
Less performance. Less technique for its own sake. More rhythm, sensation, play, excavation, and the honest alchemy of moving in relationship with life.
π 02 / THE CONTAINER
π€² Mutual initiation
The agreement is held by boundaries bright enough to see in the dark.
For this contract, we commit to the Dance and to all that can be learned through holding clear boundaries. The container is sacred because the truth inside it is allowed to have a body.
Our connection and the energy that we run will be channeled creatively through movement, in service to the manifestation of our highest potential and our capacity to hold embodied space for others.
Curiosity is not enough. Here, curiosity is given rhythm, consent, practice, repair, and a floor strong enough for Ashey's inner dancer to come out of hiding.
"The number refuses to forget itself."
Release clause and integrity boundary
This contract may be released at any point during the nine months if either person becomes out of integrity with self, other, the container, or loved ones. Release is held through respectful notice, clean communication, and care for the relational field.
β¨ 03 / ENERGETIC EXCHANGE
π’ Number, rhythm, return
What is offered. What is exchanged. What keeps the vessel clean.
A precise exchange keeps the practical world from swallowing the mystery. The numbers become a metronome, not a cage.

β 05 / THE NINE-MOON ARC
π A sealed path, opening one moon at a time
Nine never quite arrives. It hovers. Almost whole.
Each month carries its own moon vault. Future links to video assets, integration prompts, and other living materials have a visible place here, sealed until the first of that month. Lunation dates follow the local time zone of the monthβs dancing ground.
NINE / NUMERICAL WEATHER
A suspiciously beautiful number: the last single lantern before everything becomes itself again. Three threes. A triangle folded inward until it became a sphere.
π§ 06 / CURRICULUM
π Archaeology, alchemy, expression
Movement becomes a language for what words cannot reach.
The work is not only about movement. It is about creative power, energetic integrity, embodied leadership, devotional discipline, relational clarity, manifestation, and the capacity to hold space.
π Dance & Embodiment
1:1 Dance sessions, choreography, flooreography, experimental movement, contact improvisation, underwater Dance, embodied space-holding, poetry and motion.
π€² Somatic & Relational Practice
Embodiwork, consent-based partner work, nervous system attunement, touch-based practice, relational integrity, and field awareness.
π₯ Flow, Fire & Physical Expression
Fire dancing, rope dart, flow acrobatics, pole, functional movement, primal movement patterns, swimming, rock-dancing, climbing, and grappling.
π§ Music & Facilitation
Music production, DJ set and mix production, Dance facilitation, curriculum creation, embodied teaching, and field practice.
The Mystery
Some of the curriculum cannot, and should not, be named in advance. It will emerge through the container, through the body, through the field, and through the Dance itself.
The Mystery is part of the curriculum.πΊοΈ 07 / RESOURCE CONSTELLATION
π Places the body can keep learning
The field has local anchors.
Boulder and Denver offer movement rooms, contact labs, ecstatic floors, and training communities that can support the container in practice. The wider map lives in the Colorado Magic Guide.

πͺ· 08 / CLOSING INTENTION
π‘ Return signal
This is our mutual initiation.
A nine-month devotion to movement, manifestation, embodied leadership, clean boundaries, creative transmutation, and the sacred intelligence of the Dance.
The container includes the body, the field, beloveds, family systems, creative work, public offering, private practice, the ocean, the floor, the fire, the music, and the Mystery.
Come as you are. Bring water, a journal if you wish, and the part of you that still remembers how to move before it knows why.
Living questions
August dates: still to be clarified.
Release clause: respectful notice if either person becomes out of integrity with self, other, the container, or loved ones.
