Kelly Thomke, JourneyDance Guide

Hi, I’m Kelly Thomke, a mother, wife, JourneyDance guide, scrapbooking devotee and doer of all things creative.   In 2011, on a whim, I drove up to Kripalu Center in Lenox, MA and took a week-long training of something called JourneyDance with Toni Bergins.  Within about 2 hours of dancing, my body was hooked, as if remembering movements long forgotten and my mind freer than it had felt in years.  I love how we can lose ourselves in the music, completely surrendering to its rhythms.  So much that we immediately want more when the music stops. Yeah, it’s that delicious.  It’s my wish to share with everyone this magic of movement, this rhythmic connection to earth, this JourneyDance.  Through that, may we all be stewards of love, peace and giving.
