I am teaching 3 workshops this February at Athletic Playground in Emeryville as part of my Go Fund Me to raise money to take Paper Doll Militia's teacher training in silks and rope. Know any aerialists who want to come play? The classes can be taken as a one off or you can take all 3! www.tapgym.com under the "COURSES" tab. Please help me to spread the word! Thank you!!!

Hello Friends and Community!

I have started a GoFundMe to help pay for a virtual Aerial Teacher Training in June with Paper Doll Militia. Please consider donating to help me make this crucial investment in taking the next step to round out my teaching. I've been doing aerial for 10 years and teaching for 3 years. My goal is $4000, which will cover level 1 and 2 teacher training and certificates in both aerial silks and rope, filling in gaps in my learning and making me a more well-rounded and appealing instructor who can teach several apparatuses at a variety of levels.

CHECK OUT MY GO FUND ME!

WRITING PROMPT WEDNESDAY

It's Wednesday. I am feeling like bringing back the Liminality Writing on Wednesdays and starting a group for folks to participate.

I'd love for this to be an ongoing thing. Let's see where it goes!
Liminality:

Ongoing Prompt:
Wednesday is the middle of the week. People call it the “hump day.” It is a liminal space. Looking towards the weekend and yet still immersed in the week. There was a time when I had Wednesdays off, as if a mid-week pause. A breathing space. What does Wednesday bring? What does this particular Wednesday bring? What are you sitting with? What are you looking forward to? Feel free to brain dump. Use this space as a free-writing check point with yourself in the midst of everything else.

TODAY'S PROMPT:
Wednesday January 27th: Liminal, limen, threshold.

1. Write a paragraph or two about where you are at right now. Try not to filter yourself.

2. Take three nouns and three verbs from your brain dump and construct another piece from them. Make the nouns all proper nouns. Use the verbs to figure out how the nouns relate to each other. Be as concise as possible. 1-5 sentences. This can be it’s own starting point. If you'd like to, add these as a comment to this post and/or to the Facebook group. Feel free to use other’s distillations of their liminality as prompts for more writing of your own. If you'd like to use others' words in your work please ask permission first. If you are inspired to write based on other's writing, let them know! This is a huge compliment!

On the hunt for a wonderful sub-letter for October 1st- end of December to LIVE AT LIMINAL!!! Will entertain longer for the right person. Located in Oakland, near Mills College. It's a creative loft space with a dog and 3 cats. I am pretty quiet, hard-working and low key. If you want an easy place to live in, with space to do yoga/dance/do creative work, hit me up. It is furnished with a double bed and a desk, optional shelving/storage cabinet and clothing rack. I prefer to live with someone who identifies as a woman or gender non-conforming. No couples. No more pets. Feel free to pass on this info to people that you think may be a good fit. $850 - includes everything. PM me or Email me at [email protected] subject:sublet
