WEAVING:
the art of connection
a soul motion® weekend with michael molin-skelton
march 27-29, 2026
burlington, vt
“And yet each time we wonder together
and wonder, and wonder,
we learn again just how we fit,
how integral we are, how surely
the cloth needs us all.”
-Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer-
The fabric of our humanity is being stretched beyond the breaking point. The threads of our humanness have grown taut and tense as othering becomes the most fluent language spoken in the world. The current climate saturating every nation almost insists that we distrust, disparage, and disrespect one another. What can we do to stitch the fibers of generosity and kindness back into the one human story?
We will begin the weaving by moving our own bodies, inviting our breath to sing to any parts within us that feel forgotten or forbidden. We will create pathways for greater intimacy through the weaving of our shared values and vulnerability, richer connection to each other through the weaving of our shared shapes and stories, a deeper sense of belonging through the weaving of our shared wounds and wonder, accessibility to spirit through the weaving of our shared dances of hope and despair, loss and life, faith and doubt, grief and love.
Let’s assemble to dance and design a rich tapestry woven from all the qualities of your human experiences, to reinforce and reaffirm our art and our heart of connection.

This workshop welcomes both complete beginners and experienced movers.
There is no choreography to get right, and no dance experience or ability necessary, just a willingness to move and explore the familiar and unknown.
