Hi tribe!
This month the practice will be all about off body work. This includes rolling, jump thrus, tosses, stalls, or whatever you want as long as your core isn't making contact with the hoop. If you want to throw in a transition using your core, go for it, but mostly keep it off the bod. I find that I do a lot of core hooping because it just feels so good to be hugged and massaged by the hoop and my hands are free to move and express, but I need more flight time with off body to make me faster and more fluid. Hope this is a good choice! So many good things have been done so far!
I thought I'd throw some different music in the mix, so the song will be "Flowin' Prose" by the Beastie Boys. I love this song. It has some nice punctuations that could be useful to accentuate some moves.
Much much love to you all,
Jess

Re: May Move and Song from Jess
Sun, June 15, 2008 - 6:16 PMjust wondering if we should maybe put a moratorium on future monthly "assignments" until we can all catch up. Maybe we should start back making monthly move assignments in September and give ourselves July and August to work on those previously suggested that we haven't had a chance to get to. We all know that June is a wash. much love to you all and I can't wait to see everyone in a few days. (I won't get back from a trip until late day Friday, so see you then!) -

Re: May Move and Song from Jess
Thu, July 17, 2008 - 6:51 AMok, ok...I am the worst moderator ever. My true Aries nature is showing with this tribe!!! Were all at a point of "catch up" as of right now. I like your idea Natalie of the moratorium, but I was also thinking that maybe those remaining to name a move and song (natalie, natasha, nicki, vicky) could go ahead and throw their ideas out now. Then we can take the remainder of the year to throw the videos out when we have the time. The horrific summer work schedule that I agreed too is coming to an end. I am committed to making my comments to Bonnie and Jess by the end of this week, and a new vid by the end of the month. Time to start TODAY!!!
Though I'm also wondering if people even want to continue MTG. Things have been so slow here, I'm not sure anyone is still interested. Let me know what ya'll think. Love. -

Re: May Move and Song from Jess
Thu, July 17, 2008 - 4:58 PMI love this tribe. I know we all have been slack at some point, but I feel like it helps to motivate me to work on skills and get a video out somewhere...especially if I don't feel like posting on Hooping 'videos tribe for whatever reason. I totally understand that everyone is busy and may not have time to give feedback. I think that we all need to get over our guilt and just do what we can. We are "moving towards grace" in more areas than just hooping and I think this tribe can help with that. Plus it helps me to feel connected to y'all and I really love that feeling when I watch everyone's progress....even if I don't always have the time, or make the time, to respond. I really hope the consensus is to keep this tribe alive. -

Re: May Move and Song from Jess
Fri, July 18, 2008 - 5:55 AMwell said, bonnie! i love the metaphor of "moving towards grace" in other aspects of our life..that really resonated with me right now b/c hooping and this community has helped me move forward on my own spiritual path by leaps and bounds (I had been previously stagnant for 40 years)....so let's do keep it going...let's do let go of guilt on what we can/can't do b/c I think we each get something good from the experience of this tribe, even when we aren't posting....i think I am up for making a suggestion of move/music...so bear with me....it will come to me in time...much love, friends... -

Re: May Move and Song from Jess
Sat, July 19, 2008 - 1:56 AMi definitely want to keep it up, but i confess i posted a video a while ago that got no comments for a week and then deleted it out of self conciousness...i'm awful at keeping up with everyone's video's as well. i'll try and do better at both posting videos and comments. i do think this tribe is a blessing and love meeting the challenges of a mothly practice theme. much love to you all. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: May Move and Song from Jess
Sat, July 19, 2008 - 5:51 AMi'm so sorry to hear this Jess. I think we all know that self conciouness is a waste of time. Having said that I went through the same thing with my feb share. I think we all have to trust that this little tribe is definatly one for encouragement. If time passes without comment, it's not a reflection of our hooping but the crazyness of life and having to prioritize our time. I'm sorry I did'nt get to comment. Would you please upload again? love to you. -

Re: May Move and Song from Jess
Sun, July 20, 2008 - 9:28 AMVery well said Bonnie, thank you! Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with all the positive comments and discussion going on here...I too love this tribe and feel such a great connection here with you all that is very unique. So true how the "Moving Towards Grace" theme ripples through all aspects of our lives, as that is one of the main themes that has brought us all together here in the HoopPath and created this beautiful family that I cherish so much. I apologize too for not dedicating more of my time to this now, but please know I love you all so much!! Jess, please please upload your video again!!! Your videos are all so lovely I can't believe I missed the first chance to comment. :-))) I would love some extra time to play catch-up with my videos/comments for the past few ideas. Love love love to you all!!!! xOxOxOx -

Re: May Move and Song from Jess
Sun, July 20, 2008 - 1:24 PMJess, I too have felt similarly after posting my videos. I'm sorry that you deleted yours and I hope you re-post. I had to keep telling myself everyday that people are just busy. And it was easier (I think) living here in Carrboro, because I got to hear daily from local people about how much they were doing to get ready for the retreat etc and how guilty each person was feeling for not posting/responding on this tribe. I imagine we have all felt this way.
I would like to exempt folks from commenting on my past videos, personally. I feel like my hooping now is different. The videos served me so well. I was able to practice and watch them and grow as a result. The few comments I got really did help. Personally, I am ready to move forward to my next video (whatever that may be). I hope this comes across right and not like I'm saying " Ha, I don't need your feedback, lowly hooper folk" ;-). Ok love to y'all -
