Move and Be Moved offers a community Blog that is open to anyone who wishes to discuss aspects of movement and spiritual work. It is a global network devoted to community discussion, personal reflection, and news about the allied movement arts (conscious dance, martial,and healing) and spiritual practice. Whatever the model that you practice, which connects you to source and leads you to greater understanding, beauty and creativity, please share. The intention of this site is to create a place for reporting and discussing events, ideas, and your personal experiences.
You may participate by submitting a discussion thread, story, art, picture, calendar event or comment. You may also participate by creating your own blog where you can voice your opinion on your own terms. We're especially interested in information about workshops, classes, events, art openings, or other topics of mind/heart/body/spirit interest.

How To:
As mentioned above, there are several ways to submit content to the site. Please choose the type of submission channel that best fits with your purpose. Here are some choices to get you started:
- Events
You can let others know about an event by clicking on "create content" and then "event" on the navigation bar along the right side of the blog. Set the day and time with the menus, then add a description of the event in the text field. Please unclick the "promote to front page" option at the top of the window. This way, the event will be posted only on the calendar, and the front page won't be overwhelmed with events. If it is a very important event, or is last minute, you can submit a news story about the event on the front page. The story can point readers to the calendar.
- News Stories
You can report a news story by clicking on "create content" and then "story" on the navigation bar. This channel is appropriate for content that will be posted on the front page.
- Personal Blog Entries You can document your thoughts, track an ongoing event, or have conversations with a subgroup by clicking on "create content" and then "blog entry" on the navigation bar. This will allow you to collect your content in one place that others can access. If blog posts are particularly interesting to the whole community, they can be promoted to the front page.
HTML Primer
Here is a quick primer on how to use html codes to make your text readable.
html code uses angle brackets to hide the commands so that we don't have to look at them when the text is posted. Here is the left bracket "<" (above the comma on most keyboards), and the right one ">" (above the period). All codes go between the left and right brackets with no spaces. Ok. Here are the codes (I can't include the brackets with the examples below -- you wouldn't be able to see them!):
- "p" is to start a new paragraph.
- "u" is to underline text. You must use "/u" to turn the underline off.
- "br" causes a line break.
- "i" puts text in italics. As with underline, use "/i" to turn italics off.
Replace all the quotes with the left and right brackets, and you'll be coding in html. Use the "preview" function to see how your posts look before you submit them. This should allow you to create basic text that looks ok. If you want to try more fancy codes, go here for more information.
How to post audio (each subsequent line must be placed within brackets <>, the line breaks only indicate when brackets should be placed.):
