I LOVE physical expression with people I trust
in a field of support.
And that’s what I’m here to share.
Hi! I’m Aileen.
I’m a dancer, teacher, writer and lover of feeling alive.
- I love play, especially physical play and expression with my body.
- I love easy, and getting curious about how I choose difficult, and how I can easily choose easy again.
- I love clear communication and expressing in ways that match what I’m actually experiencing inside.
And I questioned, and I opened, and I played. That’s what got me. Katie is all about play. I knew I loved play – I just didn’t know I could play my way through even the hard stuff. And make it easy.
Have you heard of Gay and Katie Hendricks? They’re the authors of Conscious Loving , Conscious Loving Ever After , Conscious Living and The Big Leap, and the directors of The Foundation for Conscious Living .
I stumbled on their website in November 2013 when I was miserable and searching, and I hopped on a plane two months later to start learning with them face-to-face. I’m a grad now of their two-year Leadership and Transformation program , and my world has changed.
I’m a veteran of 12 (yep!) drama-filled relationships: I was determined to work hard to make it work, and I worked hard, and it didn’t work. Repeatedly! Now, in relationship #13, I relax into my love’s love in a way I couldn’t even imagine in my days of war.
We laugh, play, make faces and sounds, reveal our feelings and stories, feel our feelings all the way through, and commit and re-commit to seeing each other as whole. We sort our files and get out of each other’s business. He’s growing in his creativity, and I’m growing in mine. I’m committing and re-committing to enjoying my full capacity for love AND creativity.
Wowza! I’ve got chills: fine tingles over my skin right now that tell me I’m feeling alive. How about you? What are you feeling in your body right now as you read?
Wanna get curious with me about your own creativity and capacity for love?
- I’m a dancer, not a therapist
- I’m a communicator and a “curious-er”, not a coach.
- What I love is to play, and what wants to emerge, emerges out of that.
Wanna dance?
Wanna wonder?
Come play!
Aileen Hayden has been teaching improvisational dance since 1993, in Montreal, Philadelphia and across Saskatchewan. She holds a B.A. and a B.Ed. (but not while she’s dancing) and is a certified Kripalu yoga teacher, certified Big Leap coach, drama teacher and spontaneous goofball. She graduated a year ago from the Leadership and Transformation program of the Hendricks Institute. And she loves to dance!
I grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (fun to say five times fast) in Canada, and I moved to Boulder in 2015 to be with my love.
I’ve been learning for decades from yoga and dance. I’m a seeker with a strong shot of scientific thinking, and I squirm when anyone gets too woo-woo. So I showed up ready to question when I first met Katie Hendricks in 2014.
And I questioned, and I opened, and I played. That’s what got me. Katie is all about play.
