THE NON-PROFIT :

Dancing with my Cambodian teenagers gives me a confirmation of the universal quality the 5 Rhythms^® carry. I see these children explore, change; I see their joy, the moments of letting go, the moments of peace. They offer me an invaluable gift: I see that even when the body is weak, when the tummy is hungry, when life is tough, when wounds are plenty, the soul is ready to shine the moment a door opens. The essential being is there, intact, and nourishing it is as important as nourishing the body.
To transform this adventure into a long-term project, I needed a structure, I needed funds, I needed help. The structure is a French non-profit organisation and the name came to me from the other side of the Channel one morning: Dancing Across Borders.
I haven't yet found the way to fit into the right boxes for government funding. So I turned to those people I know can understand and support this project: to you who dance, move, sing, paint, and know how precious this experience is, how transformative it can be.
It has been wonderful to feel energy from France, Germany, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, the United States flow all the way to this lost province of Cambodia, and come back enriched with images, dances, joy, words and drawings.

Your donations are what enables this work to happen. This year it brought the space of dance and expression through art to those teenagers in the Mesang District, and also in Phnom Penh, in Kampot, in Kanchanaburi (Thailand).
