Meet your facilitators, Anna Kraulis and Amy Kiara Ruth:
Anna Kraulis is passionate about ocean swimming, all things creatures, dancing, hiking and environmental activism. She has facilitated dozens of community-engaged dance programs for all ages since 2011, taught outdoor programs for Soaring Eagle Nature school, and recently worked as a nature interpreter with Parks Canada and a marine research assistant with the Tseycum First Nation. Her choreography has been exhibited across the country and internationally. In 2019 she founded the group Ocean Defenders Salt Spring Island, in W̱SÁNEĆ and Quw’utsun territory, where she is grateful to live with her family.
Amy Kiara Ruth is a practicing kinesiologist and an associate somatic movement professional; she has been studying, exploring, and working in the field of movement for over 30 years. In this time of climate dysregulation and great challenge, connecting to our own embodied wisdom can be a resource for being present and having creative ability to meet the gifts and challenges of this moment. One of Amy’s ongoing inquiries is exploring what it means to be an embodied being, and how to be in relationship to seasonal rhythms and tides while living and working in an urban setting. Amy is looking forward to working with Anna again on the Moon-to-Moon project – to deepening in relationship with Oceans, with beings of the ocean, and with other humans, caring about the mutual well-being of our planetary home. She lives on the unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples.
