“I amplify the absorbency of the sun’s medicine when I’m dancing…”
In this first edition of Temple Talk, Mother Mother shares the evolutions, matter, and meanings of her sacred sunrise dance communion. She reveals how dancing with the sun became an essential part of activating her fertility superpowers and birthing her children earthside. She takes us on a magical storytelling adventure through the origins of Booty Folklore to recover her fertility majesty after grief and despair, the first sunrise dance in India nearly 2 decades ago, the early stages of the sunrise practice when she began her priestess initiation as a mother of two, and the development of the protostar birth consciousness.
Mother Mother shares the intimate parts of how she dances through her days and prioritizes accessing the sun’s bounty amidst the swirling and dizzying realities of life as a multitudinous mothering entity. She traces the expansions born from dancing with the sun through years of movement rituals and experimentation, and the messy and miraculous seasons of heartbreak, fear, growth and discovery.
In Why I Dance With The Sun, Mother Mother centers her devotion to her fertility, and the long labor to make a way for her starseeds. The movement constellation accompanying the Temple Talk brings together excerpts and dance performances spanning more than 15 years Mother Mother’s work and practices. Through it all, she invites us to consider what becomes more possible in our own lives and dreams when we accept that everything, and everyone, we create must come through our holy, radiant bodies.
“If your body is dense and heavy with the unexplored stories of your life, the movement is a soft way in…”
