LISTEN (15 minutes) | This was originally recorded as an introduction to Open Studio #0002: Take Me to the Water. In the sweet darkness of a day yet to dawn, and while all of the munchkins are still sleeping, Mother Mother waters herself with gentle stretches and hip spins to tend to her aching back as she introduces everyone to the next installation of the Open Studio. She gives thanks for everyone being a part of this beautiful moment of discovery and shares soft invitations for centering our joy and being present with what feels good in our bodies. As we journey through the Open Studio experiment, Mother Mother reminds us that the breath is the first dance. If we can access our breath we can always find our way back to the wellspring of joy, the magical place where all of our most abundant, expansive movements live.
