Rocking out day and night, in and out of the hoop… “and with this perfect toy and tool for transformation with passion we will play in peace… and process, practice, partner and perform the art and magic of the living hoop”

What is the “living” hoop? What magic? How is this r-evolution unfolding? How can we contribute? How do we feed each other? What emerges?
