ABOUT THIS CLASS
"Hozho" is the Diné philosophy of life. It means balance and harmony in all aspects of life. The class will be centered around finding hozho in our bodies, our minds, our hearts and our spirits.
For those of us who work with and for communities, taking time to release stress, rebuild our energy and rejuvenate our minds and bodies is essential. Some of us give a lot of ourselves to our work and the time and space to be home can be used to give ourselves a bit of love and attention. We will work with movement to undo and release any stress in the body and utilize breath and sound to give intention and healing to our whole selves and to each other. This class is for all ages.

Daystar will show these articles and speak about the importance of family, tribal and personal storytelling.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
"Native American people have volumes to speak not only to non-Indian society, but to each other as well. I personally feel that all of us, Indian and non-Indian alike, could benefit, especially now, from Native American philosophy and life experience. I intend to continue not only as a performer, teacher, and choreographer, but also as a catalyst for cross-cultural understanding." Rosalie M. Jones
