Michelle and Alicia discuss the way dance and creative practice reflects the beauty of life when we as artists and healers make ourselves available to something "bigger" than us. Michelle brings in her knowledge of human design (and a multitude of other embodied modalities) to articulate the importance of each us learning to listen to our own alignment.

We hear the word Consistent often as a goal to aspire to. As a trait that makes us worthy and often the only solution to be productive or gain the attention we seek. But Alicia wants to look at OTHER ways to be productive, creative, and "consistent".
