John Weiss,
RSMT is a Tamalpa Life/Art practitioner, Movement Coach and
Registered Somatic Movement Therapist certified through the
Tamalpa Institute in San Francisco, California and the International
Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA)
in Holyoke, Massachusetts. He has been immersed in his love
of movement for more than 10 years. His passion is to explore
and share the wonderful resources and tools that human movement
provides to enrich one's life.
It
was during a successful career in the banking field that John
found his love of movement while working with Anna Halprin at
the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. Anna, co-founder
of Tamalpa, is a pioneer in dance and authentic movement as
a healing art. This opened up the floodgates to the transformational
changes in John’s life. It started him on a life-long
journey to discover as much as he could about the healing powers
of movement and how this could aid others in their daily challenges.
This has taken him from his birthplace in Michigan to California
to Germany and since 2004 as a permanent resident of Vancouver,
British Columbia Canada.
John draws
on his experience as an educator and performance artist to create
a space for personal creative energy to flow in a safe, non-judgmental
environment. He teaches and guides clients in experiential workshops,
classes and one-to-one sessions of self-expression and deeper
awareness of oneself, using the healing arts of movement, visual
arts, improvisation, written and spoken word.

Roundhouse Dance Studio

The Earth
Run is at the heart of the Planetary Dance and is the inspiration
of dance pioneer, Anna Halprin. It is a moving mandala, a simple
circle dance that everyone can do based on walking, running,
and standing still in the four directions. Musicians are drummers
who carry the heartbeat and stand in the center of three circles.
The intention is to dance to give power to prayers and to make
peace and renewal a reality in the lives of the participants
and in the troubled world.
This is
open to the general public and very family friendly, so please
bring the kids. NO dance experience is necessary.
