A Radiant Return: My Journey Back to the Dance Floor of Life (and an Invitation to Join Me)

I didn’t realize how much I missed it… until I began to move again.

For a long while, I stepped away - from movement, from music, from the sweat and joy and interconnected pulse of gathering in rhythm with others.

I needed stillness.

I needed space.

I needed quiet.

And honestly, I needed to grieve - a world, and a version of myself, that no longer fit.

But as I’ve shared recently, something has been stirring.

A call back - not to performance, not to perfection - but to presence.

To play.

To power.

To move as I am.

And to explore guiding from that place.

To be honest, yes - I’m excited and inspired... AND... also a bit afraid… nervous… tender. (After nearly two years away, I wonder: can I still access the inspiration that moves me - and moves others?)

So, as I tiptoe back into a space I once called home (one that now feels vulnerable and new, like the spring green shoots unfurling outside my window) the idea for Radiant Return was born.

Radiant Return is an intention… An offering… An invitation to co-create a summer of somatic dance and soulful reconnection.

Together, we’ll awaken the senses, come home to the body, and create space for movement and expression infused with raw presence, playful curiosity, and embodied power.

Each experience will blend simple choreography with curated music, breath, somatic exercises, and intuitive exploration - offering enough form to feel held, and enough freedom to feel wild.

We’ll move through themes like release, renewal, joy, grief, power, and grace.

We’ll dance barefoot on the grass (or in shoes—your choice).

We’ll sweat.

We’ll breathe.

We’ll return.

No perfection. No performance. Just embodiment, in community.

Outdoor movement experiences will be offered throughout June, July, and August. You can view the full summer schedule and details HERE.

If you’ve been feeling the call—back to yourself, back to movement—I would be honored to move with you.

With love and presence,

Christina

P.S. The Radiant Return Summer Series will be offered in person in Chehalis, WA. If you’re elsewhere in the world and want to move together, stay tuned - online classes and retreat offerings are on the horizon.
