Upcoming Events 2021

Here are my upcoming events for 2021. I’ll add more as the new year unfolds, so do check back!

 

Listening Circles on Racism

Since George Floyd’s murder, I started thinking about what my part is to do in helping heal the wounds that I hadn’t realized were continuing to be inflicted so pervasively – and so deeply – in so many people that I care about, not to mention those I’ve never met.

So I’ve set up a series of Listening Circles on Racism with a colleague who comes from the Restorative Practice world.  These will continue to run on the third Thursday of the month through the end of May 2021 at 11 am EST for 90 minutes.  They will not be recorded, and there is a small fee.  Do join us.

 

Talks & Tele-seminars

  • YOUR UNIQUENESS IS YOUR BUSINESS – A 10-month deep-dive via teleseminar to help you understand what’s unique about you, and learn how to leverage it in the work you do.  Call 617 275-5706 for details, or email Deborah@DancingStar.com

 

Where You Can Find Me This Year

Tucson

  • If you are a tennis player, run don’t walk to the Tucson Racquet and Fitness Club. Nelson’s clinics and Stacy and Sam’s lessons will help you polish any rusty skills – from there Drop-in play on Wednesday and Saturday mornings will get you started meeting some of the nicest people in one of the friendliest clubs I’ve found anywhere. Or if you just want a workout, check out the gym (psst, Zo Carroll is a great trainer…).  Exercise is great to clear out the cobwebs and de-stress, tho do check for their current pandemic guidelines.
  • Looking for some desert magic? Check out the DeGrazia Gallery, one of my favorite places in the desert.  And google his grandson Domingo DeGrazia, a  very talented musician-turned-politician.

 

Massachusetts

  • Montague Bookmill: WHAT? You are in New England and have not yet discovered this gem? Do it now! A converted mill filled with books new and used; a cafe; CD/music store; arts and crafts shop; fine dining – what more do you need for a blissful day out?  And yes, they have now reopened, as long as you wear a mask and respect others’ space.
  • If you’ve still got time on your hands, go to Shelburne Falls and visit the Bridge of Flowers, the potholes, and some of the many galleries and shops which I suspect have started reopening, tho check first if it matters to you.  To me, it’s a great place to wander, whether shops are open or not.

 

London! (Pandemic permitting)

  • Love to dance? Want to learn how? Swing Out London has the latest information on my favorite dance, Lindy Hop. Come explore partner dance as a metaphor for leading and following. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they dance. Let me know when you want to go and I’ll be happy to show you what I mean!
  • The Hill Station Community Cafe: this community cafe, conceived by Bold Vision, inspired me when I first found it, and continues to inspire me today. A powerful example of what like-minded – and diverse – people coming together can achieve.
