As time passes by, are you truly alive in every moment?
Remembering Light is a powerful poetry book arising from the movement practice of Unity in Motion. Journeying through abrasive resistance, amazing discovery, and an enlightened connection, we are invited into a joyous exploration of uniting with nature’s beauty and the magic of becoming alive in every second of our lives.
