About Mama Cara 

Mama Cara has spent most of her life turning towards dancing with her her hand on the page (or computer) as well as her feet on our Earth as another way to express herself, reflect on her experiences and gain greater insight about herself and this confounding, yet miraculous, world we live in. 
 

An embodiment artist, Mama Cara has spent over 35 years exploring, studying & investigating dance & movement. Embodying her emotions and feelings so that she can better understand how to care for herself and be more present and available to her young son, Cee, is how Mama Cara has coped with grief and loss in finding herself as a lone Mother in this brave new world of Covid, calamity, and chaos.

Since 2019, Mama Cara has been world, road, and "un"schooling Cee. For almost five years, they traversed  a path through Mexico, into Guatemala and down to southern Ecuador.

2024 brought Mama Cara & Cee to Iceland where Mama Cara created DANCE TRIBE ICELAND with whom she shared regular, in person DANCE MEDICINE, and CONTACT DANCE, sessions. 

Most recently, Mama Cara had another dream come true in which her and Cee had the opportunity to live aboard a catamaran in a lagoon on an atoll in French Polynesia.
For her work in sowing the seeds of embodiment, connection & community, Mama Cara has been featured in the San Diego Union Tribune, SD Voyager, Canvas Rebel, Bold Journey & more.
