Beerit’s vision for this life is to cultivate the realization of one’s self and others as Blameless Badasses - empowered beings destined to grow in love, compassion, and self-ownership through the unhindered expression of their myriad natures. Her journey took her from the study and practices of Enlightenment - such as vipassana meditation and buddhist teachings - through to Enrealment - a vision for human life which includes and celebrates the chaotic, raw, creative life force.

Beerit has hundreds of hours of experience in emotional and relational practices, ranging from ancient to modern meditation practices, relational practices in the vein of NVC and Circling, and is a certified 15 Commitments coach and Realization Process meditation teacher. All this has put her in a unique position to hold the big and the small, the expanded and the contracted, the celebrated and the disowned, all in a unified field of love and acceptance. And fun. Lots of fun.

Dan was lucky enough to grow up in a small town in Michigan and run around outside getting dirty and scraped up. He body has a deep love of hands on problem solving and exploration that spans the range from robots to basket weaving. His heart craves service and connection in this human experience.

Dan got his fifteen minutes of fame from building robots in research labs at MIT(BS,MS,ABD,IBS) and in art spaces around the world. Despite this success, he frequently found himself using excessive intoxicants to let go. Slowly and awkwardly he began to explore various spiritual, therapeutic, and local craft traditions.

Currently Dan splits his time between Cambridge, where he is chief robotics officer at Pickle Robot Company, and Maine, where he hosts workshops in earthen oven building and spends a lot of quiet time celebrating the small and slow.

Dan loves playing music with others. Dan loves doing cartwheels and is happy to teach you how. He is always looking for more opportunities to dance with others and still be able to go to bed by 9…

Emily has always connected deeply to people, places and things through movement. She is a professional dance artist, choreographer, movement facilitator, and mother based in Somerville, MA. She holds a BFA in Dance from the Boston Conservatory and an MFA from UCLA in Choreography and Performance and has toured her work internationally.

Through decades of rigorous training and performing for thousands of people she finds the simple act of expressive creation between humans in space to be the most challenging and rewarding. She has traversed this path many times with young artists as faculty at Brown University, UCLA, Montclair State University, Salem State University, Walnut Hill School for the Performing Arts and many more.

In her movement laboratories, she attends to intuition, physical instincts, experiential anatomy, and somatics to invite a holistic sense of self. She is thrilled to activate her repertoire of experience through modalities of improvisation, contact improvisation, Authentic Movement, Body Mind Centering, Alexander Technique, Yoga, QiGong, and Capoeira for explorations this summer.

Nate Ball is an inventor, entrepreneur, athlete, CEO, author, and performer. His unending joy from creative pursuits started early in life; childhood projects included kayaks, potato guns, and a Tesla coil, along with many piano compositions and a thrilling couple of summers street performing for tourists with his beatboxing skills.

His inventive spirit led him to MIT where he earned two degrees in mechanical engineering and helped develop and host an Emmy and Peabody-award winning PBS Kids engineering show that’s reached tens of millions of viewers. He is also the cofounder and CEO of a company that builds specialized rescue and access systems for helicopters, first responders, utility line crews and astronauts, is named on dozens of patents, and is the author of two children’s book series.

But when speaking to college students, Nate always finds himself focusing on how much uncertainty, frustration, self-doubt, and fear have been a part of all these bio-worthy successes, and that learning to work with his own emotions has brought about the breakthroughs that have meant the most to him.
