Careers in Motion - Poetic Movements - Spiritweaves} Cocreating community
Unwinding and unbinding unraveling as we are traveling wandering together into the center of who we are.
When Michael and Anneli met in dance, their spirits came together, forging a union that translates into their marriage and their collaborative career as movement facilitators. Conceived in 2003, Spiritweaves is the “spirit” child of the 5Rhythms, Soul Motion, and Susan Harper’s Continuum Montage. Spiritweaves is a movement sanctuary, a sacred place, a refuge where dancers can come together, fall apart, and dive deeply
into their own dance, all while in community.
One unique element offered by the duo is a graceful balance of the masculine and the feminine in which they share the roles of guide, dancer, and DJ. The foundation of their offering is love; their media—poetry, music, and dance.
Michael and Anneli have both taken huge risks in the pursuit of their passion. Michael left a 20-year career with the U.S. Postal Service, trusting that the dance would provide, and it has—in many ways. Anneli moved from her homeland Sweden, leaving everything she knew behind. Her exodus shaped the essence of their teaching, speaking to the universal longing for connection and the need to belong. For Anneli, class is as much about community as it is about dance. “We are all in this together” is a repeated refrain expressing their philosophy that “at Spiritweaves, we are all teachers and we are all students.”
When asked to define Spiritweaves, Michael described it as, “a coming home to Self, to the body, to Source, to resource. It is a place of integrity, depth, and a willingness to hold space for it all. To quote Charlie Parker, ‘If you ain’t livin it, it ain’t gonna come out of your horn.’ Spiritweaves is who we are. It is how we live.”
