Native American Hoop Dance and The Dance of Caring 

We begin the new year with Native American Hoop Dancer, Educator and Cultural Ambassador Eddie Madril, PhD(c) and Sara Moncada, MA, Native Educator, Cultural Artist and Dancer joining us for this special event. Drawing from the Hoop Dance and their book The Dance of Caring they will take us on a journey into Native insights that inspire caregivers toward abundance, strength and inner harmony. You can learn more at their website sewamdance.com.

Eddie has performed Hoop Dance all over the world. This includes opening the National Magnet Conference, opening for one of Jean Watson’s WCSI events at Stanford and giving the keynote address for The Oncology Nurses Association. Sara’s connection to Nurses is decades long. She was instrumental in overseeing the work that initially defined staffing excellence resulting in the publication Excellence and Evidence in Staffing, she was producer of the feature film Nurses: If Florence Could See Us Now and was the Managing Director for the non-profit Institute for Staffing Excellence and Innovation for many years.

Both Eddie and Sara draw from their rich experience as representatives of Native American culture, their roles as professors in Native American Studies, as well as from their own experiences as caregivers in sharing their stories.

Allow the Moment to BE

Jan Anderson, EdD, RN, AHN-BC, Caritas Coach soul-to-soul, and radiate healing energy to all our brothers and sisters.

Join us to explore what it means to “Allow the Moment to BE” on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 from 8-9am PT. This phrase was coined by Eckhart Tolle to refer to not just appreciating teach moment but embracing each moment. Watson shares that the first requirement for living/embodying unitary caring science is to be able to be fully present in the caring moment.

When we are able to allow each moment to be, we experience peace, freedom, love and joy. It is our ability to consciously and intentionally connect to the infinite field of universal love that allows us to find more meaning, purpose and the sacredness in our lives (Watson). Consistent practices that help us to let go of ego, our need for control, our old ways of doing and being, constant comparisons and negative chatter that allow us to find our still-point, the peace underneath all the chatter, to find love, compassion and humility. It is from this foundation of love, compassion and humility that we can contribute to the evolution of life towards hope and peace.

We’ll discuss what allows us to embrace and appreciate each moment, how to practice being in the moment and maybe even as Mary Oliver writes, “what we plan to do with our wild and precious life” (The Summer Day).
