Well the first week of classes have begun!
The flowers are blooming and I've been initiated in many ways this week! Teaching choreography is pushing me like never before, and honestly, I'm so grateful for it. The growing pains are rewarding and self care is the top of my priority list these days 💜 grateful to be teaching, learning, listening and sharing with so many unique creatures ~

Bellydance classes ♥️ Duncan, BC ~

Beginning Thursday, March 14th and running through for 6 weeks, I'll be teaching fusion bellydance classes ✨️

This is a blend of the various bellydance classes I've taken (mostly tribal fusion) and also from what I learned from my mama (a former traditional style bellydancer) ✨️
Ill also be adding in my own little flavors and shapes of movemeants I've discovered within my own exploration over the years ~ These classes will be beginner based ~

Its been awhile coming for all the pieces and layers to weave together, and for my wings to feel confident in sharing these classes with you all ~ I am very excited! 🧡

All bodies are welcome 🙏🏼
No previous bellydance experience required ~
Expect choreography, drills, technique, and fun ✨️

This studio is more spacious, so with this location ill be offering drop in prices as well as paying for the full 6 weeks beforehand (which gives you a lil discount✨️)

if this has been on your radar, contact me 💜

Thank you all for the incredible support,
Darlene

Copper & rabbit rib bone earrings ♥️

After having this idea for many years and being gifted these rabbit rib bones after a beautiful meal with loved ones, they finally came together into these beautiful pieces.
It was a sweet journey to learn to weave more gently around the bones, and eventually use a smaller gauge size ♥️

Feeling my inner artist really nurtured these days. Tinkering in my bed, weaving and making ideas come to life again 💗

Let me know if these spark your eyes, flutter your stomach or perk your ears ~

This new years eve ✨️✨️✨️ myself and 6 other dancers & flow artists will be weaving and sharing something epic for you allllll ~ 🦋

May we remember to explore our body's crevasses
The dusty corners that feel stale and unfamiliar
May we say hello,
May we listen
To their vast whispers
Calling us
To return,
To remember,
To nourish
To come back
Home.

I've been putting together this costume for awhile now, and it felt so exciting and natural to perform in it ~ thank you Enliven Festival and crew for having me out to perform! Another epic and nourishing year ~ looking forward to the next!

Creatures released at an epic Mind Garden event last week ~ ✨️ thank you performers, crew, DJs and artists and crowd, for all the energy woven together for this night!! And big ups to Zenon Kai Imaging for the photos ✨️ ~

Still today and tomorrow to sign up 🤗

To feel it all, in our being.
To express it all, with deep meaning.
💜
Remembering what's important, what needs extra hands for tending to.
Connecting with the lands, with myself, and the strength of my own hands.
Showing up with my full being, letting go of what was once blocking me from seeing.

It feels clear,
To honor those
Who are not near,
That lost their way
Because of systems stealing their pay.
It feels clear,
To forgive
And to communicate,
For tension is bubbling
And lands are at stake.
It feels clear,
To support those at the front
Of the lines of corruption,
At the lines of reality
Sticking it out,
Through haze and fog.
It feels clear,
To show up
Even when some think it's wrong.
To continue standing ground
And speaking up
For all those never found.
It feels clear,
Let's stand together
For right now
And for all those beings
Shedding a tear.

The photos below are some of my favorite styles of earrings to make recently~ And both have found new ear homes to hang from!
