We Are One, By Debbie Rosas.

Standing in my office on the third floor of the Pythian building in Portland, OR, where above me, the fourth floor remained empty; I felt a loss that was an enormous part of the fallout from the years surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic.

As I stand now, looking out the window, down onto what is called Director Park, I am reminded about how the community space there has changed from becoming filled with people to becoming an empty space.

Before the pandemic, Director Park was a thriving space filled with people hanging out as they watched children playing in the fountain and sat on the beautiful curved wooden bench eating lunch or catching a bit of sun.

People came to gather and enjoy art. Everything from hearing music and watching dance; Ballet, Jazz, Flamenco, Swing Dance. Today, the view from my office is a reminder of both good times past and sad times present.

One of my favorite memories was hosting a “Nia Flash Mob” event there. Nia teachers and students came together with a joyful stir in the crowd walking by or sitting in the park. Music set up was easy with a boombox and speakers.

I get chills when I close my eyes, remembering my sense of the collaborative joy of the creation of a strong community together. Our intention to raise people up with the music, movement, and magic of Nia was powerful.

Today, we continue to do so with one person at a time, one moment at a time, one sense at a time, one perception of life force energy at a time, one experience of universal joy at a time, and so many more “One” times.

Enjoy the vision for our Strong Communities through this Nia One: Around the World Video Project. We hope to inspire your focus and your attention on your Body + Life. Click here for more information: https://nianow.com
