“…..and what happens when we feel nurtured and nourished, creative and free?”
Is it me, is it thee, is it me or might it be a WE?
Emerging from a cosmic kitchen, grounded with savory flavors, scents and sounds streaming out all around, Movalogue 2023’s sonorous message is still reverberating across the globe.
The inspiring designs and sessions held over the 3 days sustain many seeds of deeper promises from the earth and from the sky and from our bodies and hearts and minds.
Thank you for showing up, celebrating and dancing with us…sharing your personal lights and grounded gifts, joining from a new collective light, creating new sounds and songs together. Honoring the ancients….
With great intention and deep purpose, the Latam team shared their embodied wisdom with innovative social arts and movement practices from their ancestors. Their lands have spoken and we have listened. Sacred play and powerful images and sounds have emerged…

Our theme, the Art and Heart of Daily Life, brought many creative applications of culinary artistry from across the globe. Participants gathered on most continents offering joyful movements, art and music, sharing ordinary pleasures from the heart.

Special thanks to translators Andrea Fernandez (Argentina) and Gabriela Vergara (Brazil). Movalogue Firekeepers Andrea Nery and Geisa Paganini De Mio (Brazil), Patricia Scott (Argentina), Jennifer Cheng (Taiwan) and Lakshmi Naranyanan (India) helped support the space.

In spite of the short notice, when invited to host the online Movalogue core program, the Latam team cultivated and stewarded divergent and emergent views and ideas. Their deep caring came from their rooted and expansive hearts and the cooking analogy emerged for the 2023 Movalogue motto. A savory sampling of creativity, soul and commitment allowed a new landing and locating, seeded from the south.
Scribing Day 2, Margarita Reyes
It seems we are now sending and receiving with more reciprocity; coming from all directions, participants have arrived and departed with a new and different sense of embodied awareness. Essential seeds were cultivated from the diverse and ancient South American harmonies, and Nature showered us with her grounded and illuminated gifts, re-engaging us all, shaping the emergent landscapes and social fields with rhythm, grace and ease. Hoorah!

The music of the collective Latam inspiration still streams through…we hear the ancestors speaking through you and we smile with delight!
Across continents, we feel and sense these new smells and tastes now! Miracle seeds! Water them well.
Scribing Day 3, Margarita Reyes
Now, as the seasons are changing and our hearts are ready for the continuing enchantment from simple yet conscious vibrations, we invite us all to take the time to stand and bow, with our whole bodies, hearts and minds hearts engaged and say THANK YOU thank you thank you…
Again, with a simple bow and a deep and vibrant smile our emerging social fields feel better connected and feel very well fed!
