Surfing the Creative® Program Intentions~
• To Access the Wisdom of Your Body.
• To Open to the Truths of Your Heart.
• To Connect with the Bounty of Mother ~ Father.
• To Free the Creative Wild Child.
• To Strengthen Interpersonal Communication Skills Inviting Connection versus Violation.
• To Develop Your Capacity to Honor and Express Yourselves as Sexually Whole People.
• To Make a Difference by Taking Action Through Direct Work in the Community.
• To Remember Ever More Fully Your Destiny through the Conscious Embodiment of these Potent Comprehensive Maps.

At the foundation of all of our programs is somatic, dance-based work that educates people about how to renegotiate trauma and shock in the body, how to authentically express oneself in life-serving and creative ways, and how to access one's vision, one's will, and ultimately one's capacity to practically develop and implement one's work in the world. Surfing The Creative® involves ongoing intensive mentoring, classes, events, and trainings that invite individuals, groups, and communities into an intimate and direct dialogue with their challenges and their gifts.

OH my golly - I have just wept though watching this - it called to my soul in a way that NOTHING ever has - THIS IS THE WORK...THIS IS THE WORK...THIS IS THE HEALING.... I am IN! Bringing it every day in every way....Thank you.

Beautiful Melissa. This is the work of the world right now. Dance is such a powerful way to open to the impulse of life to move through us and when we do, we are naturally connected to the impulse of love that brought us into being and to all of the individual and collective fear, grief and trauma that is blocking that love's clear expression. Beautiful.

I do the Jesus way. But I also enjoy the somatic/dance way too. God bless all the many ways to foster peace, love, and understanding. : ) - Roger Wolsey, author, Kissing Fish
