Happy Birthday Wu Tao!


Hi everyone, 


This month I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has ever taught, participated, listened, played and most importantly, danced Wu Tao!
This month October 2010 is the 10th anniversary of Wu Tao!  I started my first class of Wu Tao in a beautiful hall overlooking the Perth Swan River at 6.00am.  How Wu Tao began is a long story but a good one.  If you want to hear it let me know and I will find a way to share it with you!  (The picture above is of my partner Steve - who composes all the music for Wu Tao - and I, at the Dockers Doig Medal Ball.  We had fun!)
I have been very blessed to have been given the purpose of bringing Wu Tao into the world.  It has been a gift and a teacher to me.  I have experienced firsthand the benefits of the dances and the processes we use in Wu Tao.  They are powerful and transformative and have taken me to the depths of my Self and connected me in the deepest way with Life and Spirit.  Nothing has brought me so much joy as dancing and sharing Wu Tao.
I really want to thank all the Instructors for their dedication and commitment not only for teaching Wu Tao and building the business, but to their own personal growth and spiritual development.  Wu Tao is so much more than a dance program, it's a spiritual pathway and the beautiful people teaching Wu Tao know that more than anyone. All the teachers embody compassion and wisdom in their own unique way and are a wonderful source of guidance and strength.
I speak for myself, but every class, workshop, performance and business event I do for Wu Tao turns into a deep spiritual learning.  I have had to grow up, change, heal, expand and develop parts of myself I would rather have overlooked.  More than anything I have been challenged to do things in a different way, a way that is more flowing, balanced and Yin.  This often goes against the ways of the world and my old ways of doing things, but it has brought me so much joy, energy and inner peace.
Nicky Castle, one of our very first Instructors and trainers shared this with me earlier this week.  Nicky is a powerhouse of energy and wisdom. I am so grateful for you Nicky and for what you have given to Wu Tao. 
Dear Michelle,
I can only begin to express the incredible gratitude that I have for you and Wu Tao Dance.  I am honestly not sure if I would still be here on this earth if I had not found my way to you 8 years ago.  I was so filled with grief and manically out of balance - there is no possible way that I could have continued in that way without manifesting some awful physical dis-ease.  Wu Tao the Dancing Way gifted me with the remembrance and knowledge of who I truly am and the peace that comes hand in hand with that remembrance.
Life is a continual journey of mountains and valleys and Wu Tao is there with me each and every step of the way, always when I need it the most to gently remind me .....I am loved, I am supported, I am connected to all of Life.
Blessings,
Nicky Castle
To Wu Tao instructors everywhere, I love and appreciate you so much.  Thank you for sharing the journey.  You are the ones that make Wu Tao what it is today.

Living your Sacred Purpose Webinar was a great success thanks to you!

Thanks to all those people who attended my first webinar event "Living your Sacred Purpose!  I really appreciated you all showing up! Thanks for your encouraging feedback and comments as well. I had fun and I hope you enjoyed it too. I look forward to sharing more with you in the very near future. Here's one of the many beautiful emails I received. (Thanks Barb!)
Hi Michelle,
I just finished listening to and working through the replay of the webinar and wanted to let you know that I loved it!   On a personal level, the topics you covered remain so meaningful for me and bring fresh insight every time I hear you speak of them. I've been struggling a bit lately, and know that your words of wisdom will help me find some focus.
I think the webinar was a wonderful way to bring attention to the emotional and spiritual aspects of Wu Tao - the aspects that are so powerful and make Wu Tao so unique - not just another fitness program.
For you, I once again applaud your courage in finding ways to reach out and share your inner thoughts, passion and wisdom...I hope you will plan more webinars in the future.

(PS If you missed the webinar and would like to listen to it,  the podcast will be available in the very near future.  Stay Tuned!)
