I'm wondering how to move forward from here, because honestly I’ve completely confused myself — this is a dance newsletter, not a fundraising newsletter. You have stepped up so completely to meet the dance of raising this money these last few weeks, that I am simply astounded, and I am also unsure what the next step is or how to take it.
Right now I have to run as I’m about to get on an all day training session on zoom (wahoo!), but know I am thinking and wondering about dancing -- about the breath inside the body, and the body inside the breath -- and how that relates to all we have talked about these past few weeks: power, privilege, racism, anti-racism, oppression, violence, peace, and liberation.
I thinking about the shape of us, and how we want to map that from here.
Thank you everyone.
Truly.
It is a beautiful thing that you did.
With love,
Joanna
