General Student Comments Student Comments Touching Body & Soul Student Comments First Step & Morning Movement Thoughts from Participants Earth Song Dance Camp Cambridge, Minnesota, August 2004 and 2005 Very soul opening, well paced, respectful of individual needs. I like the folk dancing, the yoga inspired movement. Thank you! – Gary S.
It was refreshing, revitalizing, reconnecting, centering, touching, moving. I especially liked the prayer dance and the back-to-back meditation. – Lloyd H.
To be in a place of freedom to “Be” and freedom not to feel pressed or expected to “Do”. I especially liked being reminded to be alert to and aware of the Hope, alive in all of us and all around us. - Sharon K.
Community, connectedness, peace, serenity, love – the list could go on and on. A wonderful weekend- good company, wonderful food and a beautiful setting. I especially liked the yoga/dancing on Sunday morning. I felt the presence of the spirit within myself and others in the room. I was able to open my heart, experience my emotions and really connect with others in the room. The movement was great. As a person dealing with body image issues, I felt a befriending with my body. – Nancy M.
Deeply spiritual. I loved the sign language/prayer. I really enjoyed the free spirit dancing. I found the long time of silence profound and enlightening. I realized I still have a lot of sadness in my soul. I can’t pretend it’s not there. I have to feel it. Joan, you are a very gifted leader. - Lori M.
Powerful, yet relaxing. I especially liked Joan’s music selections. Joan helped the yoga dance to “fit”. [The weekend] shifted my view of my marriage. I’ll be back.. don’t stop! – Chris K.
Refreshing, relaxing, inspiring, wow! – Sandy O.
I especially liked the people, the activities, and the facilities. It was very energizing, a great workout. The Grace Sculpture was extremely moving and gently powerful. I wish we would have had at least one week [instead of just a weekend]. |
