THE SPACESHIP EARTH PODCAST
Earth Sessions: Autumnism | Dan Solo
How to learn to dance with complexity, contradiction, grief, beauty, uncertainty, horror and surprise without abandoning the dance-floor Dancing feels like an interesting invitation to me for these times It invites us into the body and out of our stuck heads. It invites us into presence and relationship with life in the moment, To be present with our bodies, with each other, with other life forms It’s movement, spontaneity, flow, expression, vibe, response, Response-ability. Dancing is aliveness. And we need alive-ness. To break the numbness. So on that, I offer a new Earth Sessions mix: Autumnism For this season of letting go. A collection of tunes, that have been moving me of late and that capture for me the feels of this season and these times - the endings, the abundance, the darkness, the joy, the mystery. I hope they move you in some way.

Look around you, find the thing that speaks to you, find the others and get stuck in. Love and care at the centre. And try to stay curious with the trouble, the discomfort. Do not abandon the dance-floor REPEAT: Do not leave the dance-floor of life. As Nena and WestBam said… ‘We are the future, that’s the past We are the moment built to last We are the up, that’s the down We wear the newschool engine crown’
