ciudad y aeropuerto

Some improvisation in Santiago and the airport of Panama City. I don't have writing to accompany this, but the dancing still filled me with joy!

Found some fun makeshift stages while I was visiting Santiago, Chile, specifically in Cerro Lucia :)

Almost died of exhaustion on my 48 hour travel to the US and back to Chile and had to heal my soul a little by dancing at 7 am in Panama.

The sharp, loving bite of Mother Nature's Winds

Last weekend, we went down south to Patagonia, to a national park called Torres del Paine. It is one of the farthest points in Chile, and as soon as we landed in Punta Arenas, I could feel the power of the air and the mountains surrounding us, as it was so fresh and carried a tangible spark, an electrical current in the air. In fact, it felt a lot like the air at the top of Camel's Hump or Mt. Moosilauke during fall when the sun is out but the wind is cold and powerful. It made me miss home. Vermont will always be so special to me! Torres del Paine is a massive expanse of protected wilderness, so we only saw a glimpse of its full potential. But what we did get to see and experience was delightful! The water is so fresh and cold and literally as pure as can be as it all comes from glaciers. The mountains are strikingly tall and jagged, covered in snow and ice and constantly circled by turbulent clouds. We also saw so many animals! While I've been thoroughly enjoying the city lif...

Isla del Alma

I feel endlessly grateful everyday for all the marvelous gifts Chile is giving me, for the people I am meeting and the people I continue to love, and the ever-present strength I find in myself. Last weekend, Elise, David, and I went to Chilo é, a cluster of islands in the Region de los Lagos in the south of Chile. Since reading a novel by Isabel Allende when I was 18 I have been fantasizing about going to this mystical, climatically  intense, kind and mysterious island. Actually setting foot on the land of  Chilo é  was remarkable! It was a place of nostalgia and memory, although I have never been before, as every section flooded my mind with images and sensations of places I've been in my past; Vermont, Ocracoke, the cloud forest of Costa Rica, Cape Cod. We met the most lovely humans there, and I truly wanted to buy a little hut and stay there forever, with a garden and a cow and a little row boat.  I love small communities! It was really lovely to get to experi...

Appreciation post for all my loves here in Chile. You know who you are. <3 From the far south to the northern desert, you have all touched my heart! Its always important for me to take some time to sit in my gratitude for all the people in my life. What a gift! Gracias por las coronas con lim ó n, saben quienes son ;) This video is a special shout out to David, Elise, and Ali, we've shared so much love and happiness here! Footage from Las Dunas de Concon, after basking in the glow of the sun, reflecting on existence, and gloriously consuming chevre, pan batido, blackberry jam, Alfajors, and Exportacion. What a beautiful afternoon with you! begin freewrite: Questions to ask myself. What is my voice saying inside? What am I feeling? Things I should ask and then truly listen, not judge, not control. Like dancing in sand on a downward slanting hill, sun beaming in my pupils, wind influencing my balance. To dance this dance right now, to yield to the various forces of inst...
