  • CI + SOTAI (Ancestral Body) Retreat

    Hello. This is our second CI+SOTAI retreat at WildHeart.
    I am deeply honored to hold space for contradicting the world’s normalization of disembodiment and distress through remembering, embodying and resting our SOTAI (human and non-human ancestral body).
    As a Japanese person, I will emphasize on taking time and being spacious. Let the time have their turn to speak. Let the space have their turn to speak. Touch is powerful. Touch is a portal. Sometimes I don’t want to be touched because it’s so nostalgic. Can I cry with you?
    I am so blessed to be alive with you all.

  • Contemporary Dance (Mixed Levels)

    Vija’s two-hour contemporary class begins with a full-body Simonson Technique warmup, balancing stretching, strengthening, and dance technique. Dancers then move through progressions across the floor before learning a longer combination and closing with improvisation. Her classes emphasize musicality, fluidity, and emotion.
