Winter News

Holiday Greetings Embodydancers,
Another year turns. The seeds we planted in the Fall are already beginning to stir within us and the Light’s slow return has begun. Our community is a herald of the new way we can live together as One Tribe and break away from the structures that are dying as we grow.

For those wondering, we dance 52 weeks each year, every Thursday & Sunday, regardless of holidays, so do "drop-in" during these hectic days and be nourished.

If you are moved to give back, please consider serving on the Community Council (CC). The nomination/election process is underway for the new Community Council and is open to all. As you can imagine, our weekly dances don’t just spring up without the work of those who are committed to keeping the dance going. You can be one of those people! Service on the CC is a one-year commitment and has responsibilities as well as rewards. To fill out an application to serve and to know the requirements, visit embodydancesantafe.org

Blessings to all our dancers, families and friends.

Sincerely,
The Community Council

Embodydance Santa Fe Letter To The Community

2011-10-12T21:25:58Z

Unsubscription instructions are located at the end of this message.

October 2012

Dear Embodydance Community,
The golden colors of autumn leaves fill our city and the mountains that embrace us. The days grow shorter and we find reflection in the closing of another bright summer. The CC is responding to the community’s request to be more informed as to the activities of the CC and the general manager, hence this letter to all of you.

Our next community meeting is coming up on Sunday, Oct. 23 at the Whole Foods (former Wild Oats) Community Room at St. Francis and Cordova. Potluck at 5:30pm and meeting from 6:15 to 8:15 pm.

There are some new discussions on the agenda that we are asking for your participation in to generate ideas and plan new activities.

First, Fundraising is something the community has been talking about and it’s time to take action on some of the ways we can generate revenue in addition to the weekly dances. We will be sending out a Donations Request Letter in the near future to ask for donations of any amount, tax-deductible, to help replenish our savings account.

An idea that has received enthusiasm is to hold a Rummage Sale. We will be discussing the details of this at the community meeting. We will need volunteers to help organize and facilitate the sale. It has the potential to be profitable as well as fun.

Secondly, a few members of the community have brought forth their concerns about Sundays and ideas about how to revitalize it. Ideas so far have ranged from a monthly “Family Dance” Sunday with a half-hour just for kids prior to the regular dance; guest facilitators-in-training to mix up the music we dance to, and “Theme” dances to invite more creativity and fun.

In addition, as many community members expressed a desire to learn to facilitate a wave in one of last year’s surveys, the Facilitators are meeting to create a Facilitator Training Program. Details about this will be presented to the community in December. The training is not designed to replace our current facilitators but to allow people to do their own thing with the training such as youth programs, or incorporating Embodydance into other transformational workshops, conferences, retreats, etc.

The Community Council (formerly the EC) has been responding to the requests of the community and asked the Facilitators to present an outline to us by mid-November. We will keep the community informed, but the idea is for a training to begin sometime in the new year, 2012.

Other news: Scott Norris has resigned as President of the Board of Directors and was replaced by Samwell Navarro. The General Manager position has been redefined, and the hours and pay reduced by 50%. Some of the GM responsibilities are now being handled by the CC and volunteers from the community.

The Volunteers Committee is being organized by Kevin Long. Please let him know if you wish to be included on the Volunteers list and sign up for tasks such as posting fliers, assisting with fundraising, and other general administrative duties such as maintaing the email list.

These are some of the ideas that are circulating and actions being taken. We want to keep you, the Embodydance community, informed and in the loop.

We hope you will attend the upcoming community meeting, share your ideas, and get involved in these new projects.

In the spirit of the dance,
Marka Smith,
General Manager
The Community Council,
(Christina Boiano, Samwell Navarro, Shelley Campbell, Neil Egan, Alec Walling)

Embodydance Santa Fe IMPORTANT Community Meeting

2011-08-09T12:29:38Z

Unsubscription instructions are located at the end of this message.

News From Embodydance Santa Fe

Dear Embodydancers,

Important Community Meeting, August 14, 2011

There are urgent and pressing topics that the Community needs to discuss which may impact all dancers financially. If you only attend one Community Meeting this year, please make it this one, Sunday August 14 after the regular Sunday dance, and let your voice be heard. You might have stopped attending meetings in the past for a variety of reasons, but the format of meetings has changed; they follow a set structure with rules governing how topics are discussed that makes the meeting run in a faster and more orderly way, so please give them another chance!

The meeting will be held at 6:30pm in the Wild Oats/Whole Foods building on St. Francis, in their Community Meeting room which is on the Cordova Street side of the building. It will end at 8:30pm.

The agenda for the meeting:

1) Financial Report
2) Updates:

· General Manager
· Board of Directors
· Executive Committee
· By-Laws

3) Proposal to change the name of the Executive Committee to Community Council

4) Talking Circle: What shall we do about our financial situation? What is best for Embodydance?

The EC has been entertaining many ideas for decreasing our expenses and increasing our revenue including: Decreasing the amount of all paid positions by the same percentage; decreasing the General Manager position; asking those who get paid for their position (eg: coordinators, bookkeeper) to trade for dance; eliminating Sunday dance; increasing the price of dance for all to $12; creating an Embodydance membership where there would be a small fee ($25) to be a member and a reduced price for dance, or some combination of the above. What Do You Think And Feel?

5) Talking Circle: How are you able and willing to contribute to Embodydance to infuse more vitality into it?

6) Talking Circle: Who should be responsible for “management” of coordinators and facilitators?

What is the best way to decide to hire or fire them? What is the best structure for ensuring the jobs are being done well? What Do You Think And Feel?

7) Community Agenda Item

Your voice will decide these issues. Hope to see you all there!

Sincerely,
The Executive Committee

Embodydance Santa Fe Annual Meeting, Community Meeting & Upcoming Workshops

2011-02-22T21:55:20Z

Unsubscription instructions are located at the end of this message.

From Embodydance Santa Fe

Dear Embodydancers,
Our Annual Meeting and February Monthly Meeting will be held on Sunday, February 27th, starting at 6 pm. From 6–6:30 is a Potluck, 6:30–7pm is the Annual Meeting during which new Board of Directors Members will be selected from those who volunteer to serve on the Board (invitation follows below). From 7-8pm (or thereabouts) is the Community Meeting which will address all current business that pertains to the Community. The newly elected Executive Committee will be introduced at the meeting, so we invite you to come and show your support to those who have generously offered their time to serve our community.

The Meeting will be held at The Railyard Performance Space following Sunday dance. Please bring food to share. We look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,
The Executive Committee

Announcement from our Board of Directors

Fellow Embodydancers,
If you enjoy dancing and want to be part of the community of people that keeps Embodydance healthy and running properly, we invite you to submit your name for consideration as a member of the Board of Directors. The BOD members are selected at the Annual Meeting which will be February 27, 2011. The selection process is by consensus of the Community, and members are asked to serve for a term of two years.

We currently have three BOD members. The By-Laws allow for three to seven BOD members, with a quorum of more than half the members to hold a meeting. Compensation to BOD members of 501-3C not-for-profit corporations is not allowed by New Mexico law. We desire to add new BOD members so that there will be overlapping terms as existing BOD members end their service.

The duty of the BOD members is to ensure that Embodydance Inc. as a 501-3C is in compliance with all Federal and State law. This includes signing off on state and federal report forms, and keeping a permanent record of the Community Meeting Minutes, and the Executive Committee Meeting Minutes through a formal process in which we meet, read, and officially approve the minutes.

The BOD, as much as allowed by law, cedes all power and decision making to the Community Meetings and, as entrusted by the comunity, to the EC. The BOD, as part of reading the minutes into the permanent corporate record, may review proceedings and offer feedback to the EC and the Community Meetings. The BOD will likely meet quarterly to keep up with the accumulation of meeting minutes, and may meet more or less often as necessary.

The BOD has fiduciary responsibility to make sure that Embodydance is operating on sound financial footing, and may review the financial and banking records as it chooses and report back to the Community and the EC.

Should it be necessary and desirable to address any issue the BOD may request to meet with the EC or call a special Community meeting with proper notice.

Come and give us a helping hand.

In service,
Scott N.,
President of the Board

Upcoming Workshops
While not sponsored by Embodydance, there are 2 workshops in the near future that are perfect for those dancers who are following/want to follow the 5Rhythms™ practice or just want to deepen their dance.

The first, WAVES: Expand & Contract, Open & Close, is being given by Visudha de los Santos of our Taos sister-community this coming weekend, February 25–26 at StudioNia in Santa Fe.

The second, EVOLUTION: a 5Rhythms™ event, given by Adam Barley, will take place Friday, April 22–April 24 at The Railyard Performance Space.

For more info on either workshop, visit http://www.embodydancesantafe.org/events.html

Blessings!
