To go beyond the supposed limits of "physical" reality. I'm not talking about extreme athletics here , but extreme conciousness. Here are some of the ideas (principles) we will work with --- ~We are immortal here and now ~Immersion in each other ends the illusion of time and space. ~We allow ourselves to feel everything thereby fullfilling the message in our feelings and moving to the next level of awareness. ~The "body" is a chrysalis - we will dis-cover what we really look like. ~The "limitations" of the body are our ally. ~One plus One equals God All this and more can be accomplished maintaining the point of contact. If you understand this , please write to me. hamilton williams From alestarosta@usa.net Sun Jun 20 01:32:10 1999 From: alestarosta@usa.net (Ale Starosta) Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 21:32:10 -0300 Subject: [CI-Announce] DanceAbility International teacher training Message-ID: <376C368A.9512D8D3@usa.net> --------------70A9A2E26BA3ED0F9BB54D84 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Danceability Project International Teachers Trainings 1999 Taught by Alito Alessi USA – Eugene, Oregon July 14 – August 5 1999 Registration deadline: june 20 Information: jforces@pond.net Or (USA) 1-541- 342- 3273 ARGENTINA – Buenos Aires September 19 – October 3rd.
