- **Event Description**: This week: AS IT IS with DJ ARTIC FOX!

There is an is-ness to life – something that cannot be grasped, something vast and unnameable. It is not what we perceive or figure out, not what we believe or think, not what we chase, achieve, or conquer.
It simply is.

And yet, so much of life is spent trying to make sense of it all. Mapping plans, assigning meaning, reaching for understanding. Searching for purpose as if it’s something to be found, just out of reach, waiting to be figured out. We get caught up in busy-ness rather than is-ness – measuring our days by what we accomplish, what we solve, whether or not we’re “getting it right.”

And in doing so, we sometimes miss the very thing we’re searching for.

Life is not waiting to be understood. It is not asking to be solved. It is simply happening – right now. In this breath. In this body. In this moment.

The trees are swaying. The sun is  rising. The birds are singing. We are breathing. Always. Whether we are paying attention or not, life is unfolding. Life is an unfolding in and of itself.

So, what if, instead of seeking answers, we pause? We come into to the body. What if we allow ourselves to drop into the present moment – not as an intellectual exercise, but as a lived full-bodied experience? As a dance.

This dance is an invitation to meet life as it is.
To move, breathe, and be with what’s here.
Nothing to fix. Nothing to figure out.
Just as life itself, moving through us – as it is.

❄️ Arctic Fox ?

Guided by the mystery and magic of life, Arctic Fox holds music and dance as sacred and playful rituals that connect us with the pulse of life and the heartbeat of the Earth. With deep love and reverence for movement as medicine, she experiences music as a living space where the human can meet the divine. From this lived connection, she has recently stepped into the DJ space – fulfilling a long-lived dream.
