There is a Need to ROAR

So, where do we go to ROAR
Where do we stand and stomp and shout
Where do we clench our fists and bubble like lava
There's no place to ROAR but this white flat page
(which chars at my touch)
To ROAR with such power and rage and anguish
that people run, windows break
rocks leap, and trees grip the earth
To ROAR with such ferocity and fangs and spit
that the jagged ripples wreck and wreak havoc
Sidewalks split, buckle and grind to dust
Cars flip and collide like toys, asphalt melts and returns
to its prehistoric liquid pit in the earth
To ROAR and vibrate with every angry molecule who already
exists aching for expression
Summon volcanoes and earthquakes
tidal waves and tornadoes who wait for just this moment
Join the universal burn
the need to ignite, to change, to start over, to cleanse
Open your mouth wide
because there is a need to ROAR

What is The ROAR?

Imagine gathering in a circle of vibrant people
dedicated to making a difference in the world. The space is full of permission for all things to be present, and even embraced... Each participant is viewing the others in the room as a reflection of themselves, knowing we all come together to make one whole... In fact, Oneness becomes a reality here, so in every moment we are gifting one another with our truth and presence! This week the theme of the evening might be 'Passion'... First we drop into ourselves with a group attunement... And then we begin to play. I'm talking about simple playful improvisational exercises combined with deep purpose... I'm talking about learning how to let go enough so that our abundance of inherent creativity can flow through us with ease... I'm talking about being free and connected to our own true natures, and bringing them into the world... I'm talking about loosening up from the constraints of civilized society and returning to the roots of our wild souls... Sounds good, right? And then the best part is the invaluable lessons we learn throughout the evening as a team... Gems of insight that are then effortlessly applied to our evolving walk of life outside the room... And lastly... Let's not forget... WE ROAR.

Come check it out!

The ROAR of Winter*

Inside everyone is a passionate ROAR.

Deep inside my belly is a passion that roars, I want to have more fun. Yes, I am here to make a difference in the world, AND I want to have more fun too. Can anyone else relate? Great, then let’s come together to make a difference and have fun at the same time! I mean, we’ve all been doing our own work, right? So let’s join as One and amp it up. I’m talking about a space where we can take these deep spiritual concepts such as Oneness and transform them into reality through ritualized embodied play. I know I want to live a wildly passionate life embracing all its facets... Don’t you? Then let’s find our way there together! Imagine a world where we are free to treat life as the delicious theater it is, and begin to enjoy the show… Spontaneous instinctually creative living, please… This is what my ROAR has to say… How about yours?

There is no experience necessary... You need only be ready to let your inherent creative expression come through you with a ROAR... And be surprised how it feeds your whole life!

Let Out Your Wild ROAR!

The Brave Souls from The ROAR of Spring '08

Working with the archetypal energies of Authority.

Working with the archetypal energies of Inner Authority.

Working with the archetypal energies of Victim.

And lastly... working with the archetypal energies of the Rebel.

When we play with and embody these innate primordial energies of life, we release ourselves from their grasp. By making them conscious, we find liberation, and can now enjoy all of life as the delicious theater it is.

Not to mention, it's really really FUN!

An Invitation

Check this out...

Think of something you feel arrogant about.

Ok, I've got one... Do you?

Now give yourself permission to fully express this arrogance...

(I'm telling you, the bigger the better!)

If you do, you might discover something wild...

It's most likely a genuine place of your power.

So, see... If we all allowed ourselves to brag a bit more about our gifts? We'd stop creating the walls of arrogance that can separate us from one another!

Crazy, right?

And yet this gem of learning we discovered in real-time through the profound play of The ROAR.

(It gets better... The best part is that some of us even noticed people being more open and available to us in the weeks after!)

Magic.

This is how we do it in The ROAR.

Beginning again on January 22nd.

Come join us as we dive into a wild life. TOGETHER.

I promise it will change your world.

(See? I'm practicing bragging... Join me!)

Everyone is welcome...

With a nice healthy feisty kind of love,

Christina
