Watch her dance. There’s a slow pace, patient element to it (it’s definitely not slow). It’s fast and slow. It’s smooth and so powerful without looking like there’s too much trying going on. It’s intentionally fast and slow. She’s not trying to be over sexual or anything. There’s a balance there. The dance is what is. Although this is over a year ago, the observations and lessons still stand. This is a life philosophy and it can be adapted across all dimensions of our life. Work, relationships, business, creating cultures, community. Solid foundations, trust and let go. We all have a certain version of this dance. Our authenticity. To turn up to the world and offer that is the foundation to creating a meaningful life by design.

African traditional Dance In African societies, dance serves a complex diversity of social purposes. Within an indigenous dance tradition, each performance usually has a principal as well as a number of subsidiary purposes, which may express or reflect the communal values and social relationships of the people. In order to distinguish between the variety of dance styles, therefore, it is necessary to establish the purpose for which each dance is performed.

Embracing Imperfection: A Unique Glimpse of Dancing Lord Ganesha. In this artwork, I intentionally crafted a line carving of Lord Ganesha on transparent acrylic, using a CNC router. Unexpectedly, a power failure during the process resulted in a striking effect: the top half of the dancing Ganesha is crystal clear, while the bottom half is faded, symbolizing the transient nature of life's challenges. The visible clarity represents the unwavering faith of believers, while the faintness reflects the sceptical attitude of non-believers. Let the dancing Lord Ganesha inspire you to find joy in life's twists and turns. Embrace imperfections as unique expressions of creativity and resilience.

As a psychologist who found non-choreographed dance several years ago, I find the ongoing mood and connection shifts (to self/other/Country) cannot be underestimated, especially when combined with top-down methods. No matter how subtle or awkward the initial movements, our nervous system is wired to move and depressive/freeze states especially demand it.
