I am Dan Phelps. I am a father, a husband, a tree hugging soil worshiper, a farmer (semi-retired), a mason (in-training), an artist, a dancer, etc.
I use art to convey concepts and express feelings I find difficult to articulate with words: unseen forces, the flow of energy, the dance of light and dark, the balance of life and death/growth and decay, ecological interdependence, mystical exploration, spiritual connection, harmony, inspiration, enchantment, transcendence, love.
These are best experienced rather than explained. Art is one way in which I explore these subjects. A deep connection to and relationship with the natural world is another. Dance is yet another. I am honored to share this body of work at Be Moved Studio, a sanctuary in which I have been endlessly inspired. Many of these pieces are directly influenced by my relationship to this space and the people whom I share the dance floor with on a weekly basis. Blessings.
By appt. until Mar 1, 2020

January 25-26 11-6PM Journey Into Trance~ Jonathan Horan
Taught by Jonathan Horan
“Trance is a tricky place, a place not many understand. It’s a mindful state that only happens when you get out of your way and fall into your true self so deeply that something inside clicks and you are simultaneously being and witnessing yourself. “
— Gabrielle Roth
We all long for a place to call home, a place where we feel totally connected and at peace. But there is no home unless we find it in ourselves. The way home is a journey into trance. Trance is soul food, an injection of spirit that can carry us for days and weeks through subways and supermarkets, head-trips and heartaches.
In trance we move into the bigger picture. And from this vantage point we can see into the dark of our own hearts and let go of all the things that haunt us, relinquish them, turn them over to the Great Spirit. Sometimes, we are moved by the spirit of wolf, sometimes we are moved by the spirit of river or the spirit of fear or father. If we let go it takes us past our ordinary self into our luminous self. Any energy fully embodied can be a gateway.
Every time we hold our breath, we are holding back the Great Spirit and all its awesome power. But it is the very presence of that power we all deeply crave. We crave it because it is a catalyst; it shakes us up, keeps us real. It takes a lot of preparation to let go of being the mover and allow the self to be moved. In a million unspoken ways, we will be tested and rewarded.
Jonathan Horan is Gabrielle Roth’s son and closest collaborator. He is the Executive Director of her international institute, 5Rhythms Global as well as the Director of The Moving Center School NYC. Jonathan has been immersed in the 5Rhythms practice throughout his life and continues to be a key catalyst in its evolution. He is a member of the core teaching faculty of both training and advanced work and teaches workshops of all levels around the world. his weekly NYC High Vibrations class has been featured in New York Magazine, Breathe, and the Daily News, and was chosen as the hottest movement class in New York by the Village Voice.

Join us as we spend time connecting to our breath and our bodies. Our breath is our vital life-force energy that has great healing power. Let’s relax, release, and let go. We All have the innate capacity to heal ourselves. Breathwork is a deeply profound experiential experience that allows for us to release what is no longer serving us…emotionally, physically, mentally, and energetically. We tend to “hold on” to things in our bodies on all levels and most of the time we are unaware of how to move it or maybe even understand why we have this block, pain, or stuck-ness. When we engage deeply with the breath, we allow for us to move through the holding patterns into a deep releasing space.
“Breath is the link between mind and body.” -Dan Brule

Monthly Gathering with Jennifer Welch
Lawrence Women’s Temple is a sacred space that we create for ourselves and our sisters when we come together with a shared intention of spiritual awakening. In Temple, we do not sit around and talk about what we think embodied awakening is, instead we practice stepping directly into a real, lived awakening as we move our awareness from the mental stories we tell ourselves about who we are in the world, into our breath, our bodies and the felt sense of the moment as it arises and moves through us. In Temple, we give ourselves time and space to be breathed and moved by the feminine waters within.
A Taste of our Temple Practices
The 2019/2020 season will be an open circle, so you can attend once, twice or all eight times that we meet.
Lawrence Women’s Temple is based on the work of Chameli Ardagh and Awakening Women Institute. Much of our practice is based on Chameli’s work.
PLEASE NOTE – The Women’s temple is not a therapy or a support group. It is a space where we come to mirror, celebrate and empower each other. A space where we can drop our masks, and let the beauty of our authentic face be seen in all its glory and pain, passion and vulnerability. In our Women’s temple, we meet beyond the personal, and in this expanded meeting the collective feminine as well as the personal feminine is healed and celebrated.
If these practices speak to you, we would love to have you join us in circle. If you have any additional questions, please contact me at 785-760-7259.
Sundays 2-4PM
2020: Jan 19, Feb 9, Mar 15, Apr 19, May 17

A 5Rhythms Women’s Circle of Movement
Taught by Laura Martin-Eagle
ARE YOU WILLING TO ENTER THE REALM OF INTIMACY?
~ In-To-Me-I-See ~
Dear Sisters, the circle has opened… Take our hands and join our circle of women dedicated to the journey of wild abandon and holy ecstasy~ We dive deep to the realms of intuitive, visceral and instinctual movement to invite and invoke our deepest healing essence as we move our bodies in our shapeshifting beauty, wisdom and power. I look forward to being with you again in all your vulnerability and authenticity.
I hope you will join us on this monthly journey to exposing, expressing and ecstatically being in the body as a woman to see and be seen. We will be safely held in the container of the 5Rhythms movement practice as we use film, digital images and video, drawing and more to create the portrait of the self.
1st Sundays, November-March 1:30-5pm
Cost: $240/$200 early bird until Oct.1
(cost includes all materials and last class optional dinner)
Come to our beautiful and spacious historic studio, celebrating 20 years in the heart of Downtown Lawrence to experience vibrant, sacred, and heart-filled movement.
