Winky Wheeler

studied with the founder of Soul Motion, Vincent Martínez-Grieco, since 1996. She founded Momentum Studios in Portland, Oregon and her own dance format, Morning Sojourn. She says: "I see inhabiting the body through dance as a powerful and transformative act on the path of self-discovery, personal change and fully engaged living. I delight in the way it ignites our creativity, draws us deeper into ourselves, influences our daily lives and brings us closer to The Mystery."
