Growing and Creating in 2013

Welcome to 2013, a year of growth and creativity!
Hi everyone

My apologies for the lateness of this newsletter! I have been in the process of healing an injured shoulder. Its been a beautiful yet challenging journey as the pain has brought to the surface many unconscious beliefs and patterns that I have needed to let go of in order to move forward with  more ease and flow. Wow!  The 'shoulder' had forced me to not 'do' anything.  This has been rather interesting for me!  and yet the bliss of reconnecting with my Self has been worth it! I have been learning and growing so much through this experience and my connection to Spirit has been strengthened.

I'm excited to be moving into this new era with you! According to many spiritual traditions we have now entered a cycle of rejuvenation and peace. These are the times we have been waiting for. We have come to a point where we can consciously remember who we are and live from this awareness. I'm thrilled to be sharing the journey with each and every one of you, as we remember who we are. Our challenge now is to live from our hearts and not be enticed by the old paradigm of separation and fear. Every moment presents a new opportunity to say "yes" to life, love and joy; the only reality that is truly ours. 

"Love is all there is. I surrender to love"

Our gift to the world is to remember this and live it in our lives every moment. This is my commitment and resolution for 2013. Will you join me?

This season we are celebrating the Earth Element; the Earth is our home. In Chinese Medicine it is the element that sustains and nurtures us. It rules the digestive organs of the stomach and the spleen, helping us to digest our life experiences and become more of who we are. 

My favourite analogy for the Earth element, and truly the heart of Wu Tao, is that of receiving everything that is offered from Life , with gratitude and non-resistance. The Earth says:

"open your heart 
open your mind
open your body
and receive what I am offering 
you for your growth and healing"

Reflect on this; whatever comes your way (consciously or unconsciously), you have asked for! Nothing in your experience of reality is accidental. Everything, absolutely everything is there for your healing and evolvement. So, say "yes!" and "thank you!" 

Life will never let you down, just as the Earth is always beneath your feet. The energy is always available for your healing. Gratitude will help you to receive and integrate the experience, so that you can come home to your SELF. 

The Wu Tao Dance process is particularly helpful for when the experience of life becomes difficult or challenging. I encourage you to take your current challenges into the dance. 

If you are new to Wu Tao, find your nearest teacher here.

Alternatively go to our shop to find products and courses to enhance your home practice. 

We are looking forward to dancing and sharing more Wu Tao offerings with you in 2013.


Kaye Patullo Perth Instructor
2013 is a year of growth and truth. If you are feeling a calling from deep within to live with integrity and to have a daily practice of doing what you love...dancing and teaching, then check out the 2013 Wu Tao Dance Instructor Training course.

Here's what Sheonaigh Rennie from Perth Australia, has to say about being been a certified Wu Tao Dance Instructor: 

"All of my life I had wanted to be physical, fit and healthy and to feel good about myself, but until I found Wu Tao I struggled to find a way of exercising that was both enjoyable and meaningful. And then I found it, and life got a whole lot better. Wu Tao is a complete form of exercise; a whole experience. Not only a physical exercise, but one that nurtures the soul, calms the mind, allows for emotional healing and is fun.
  Being a Wu Tao Instructor means that I get to be witness to other people enjoying themselves, relaxing, having fun and being nurtured by an intimate group of like-minded people. Wu Tao is how I choose to share my light and my passion with others. It is a gift that has been given to me to share.
  As well as being able to teach and support others, becoming a Wu Tao Instructor has offered me the chance to deepen into my own life experience. I have released energetic blockages, cleared away subconscious limiting beliefs and healed old wounds. Wu Tao goes deep. It has taught me to trust life and enjoy all that it has to offer. It has given me the chance to melt with the music, to flow and to feel beautiful. Pretty perfect I think"
