HOME: A Turning the Wheel Story

Fifteen years ago I was given a promotional video to watch about Turning the Wheel Productions, an intergenerational dance/theater company in Boulder, Co.

As I watched this thirty minute piece, tears streamed down my checks.

Lizzi doing what she loves to do most.

Tears that let me know I had found my home and my life’s work that I didn’t even know I was looking for.

Tears of knowing what my spirit had been silently crying out for.

Tears of inspiration about the founder of this organization who so brilliantly combined the things I cared most about, dance, community organizing and personal healing.

I called the number on the video and flew to San Francisco the following weekend for a Turning the Wheel urban retreat and have been working, playing, performing, teaching, learning and impacting lives with this wild, loving tribe ever since. I am eternally grateful to have found a safe and ever-evolving container to keep knowing and loving myself deeper and deeper. I feel so blessed to have found tools for building healthy, vibrant, collaborative, conscious and loving community.

-Lizzi Juda, Founder of Turning the Wheel Missoula
