# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Love Affair - an Open Floor Dance workshop
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Dance and meditation are my teachers. I am constantly reminded that I am spirit wearing a body — and also that I am a completely, vulnerably human. Tired some days. Grief-stricken others. Joyous for no reason. No different, in my bones, from anyone else on this earth.
 
Here is where practice begins and where it can get challenging. I can hold compassion for *we the people*, and in the same breath make a stranger of someone whose beliefs I cannot tolerate. I can love humanity in the abstract and otherize the person in front of me.
 
This weekend we bring questions to the body. We dance with them. We stay with them. We speak, we listen, we write words to share. Because love is not an arrival — it is a practice we return to, again and again.
 
If you have questions for us, please do reach out. If you have answers, please do the same.
 
love,
Kathy, Lori & Joseph
