About Samantha Sweetwater:
A student
of dance, yoga and the Dharma for most of her 35 years, she is
also an experiential physicist, visionary art activist, dream
healer, love warrior and tree hugger. She is here to inspire a revolution
of Dancing Evolution, or Dancing freedom.
Samantha
has been teaching Embodied Arts in the forms of GetReal Yoga,
Dharma Dance, Contact Improvisation, Performance and MatrixSomatics
theraputic body-solutions all over the world for the last 11
years. She has trained teachers in the fields of yoga and contact
improvisation, helped to expand and ground dance communities
in the US and Australia and and worked to integrate visions of
ONENESS: sustainability, spirituality, art, and emotional wellbeing
into all of her relating: professional, personal and trans-personal.
She has been honing the form called Dharma Dance
since its inceptionin 2000. It has given her a potent vehicle to
activate stillness and bring gentleness, self surrender and and embodiment
to daily action. It has taught her what it IS (and what it is not)
to Dance Freedom. She has shared the form in diverse communities
and contexts including outdoor experiences for SacredPractice Vision
Quests led by Constantine Darling, activation classes at EarthDance
Global Peace Prayer and Embodiment of Ecology at Bioneers 2005. She
believes that this and other movement based spiritual practices mirror
a human fullness and an awakening unique to our time, a time where
more and more humans of all ages and races are coming together to
DANCE FREEDOM. She offers her teaching to the Earthing of Awakening
on GAIA.

ANOTHER
WAY TO PUT ALL THIS:
I am not a teacher
I have nothing to say.
What I know is stillness And motion.
What I know is that they are one and the same.
I am a dancer. I offer the dance. Dharma speaks
or is silent from this. The being of the dharma Is the Prayer.
"Be the change you want to see in the world." -The
G man
