About the role

Moving Rasa is forming a small weekly Discovery Cards Troupe to practice and share an embodied card-based process rooted in Indonesian wisdom, movement, relational presence, and community care. The Discovery Cards are an oracle-inspired movement deck informed by rasa — felt sense, emotion, intuition, and the intelligence of the body. As a troupe, we will practice using movement, images, questions, and shared witnessing to explore what is emerging in our lives and in the world. We will also host monthly community dinners open to all, where people may bring a question, reflection, stress, grief, transition, or life moment to explore in a caring group setting. Together, we seek to metabolize personal and collective stress, trauma, and uncertainty through movement, food, listening, play, and connection. This work is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, with attention to consent, choice, pacing, boundaries, and care. The goal is not to give answers, but to create a space where people can be witnessed, move what they are carrying, and reconnect with community. All bodies are welcome across ages, abilities, identities, lineages, and backgrounds. Experience in dance, theater, healing arts, facilitation, organizing, or community work is welcome but not required. What matters most is a willingness to listen, experiment, play, and practice together. Rehearsal commitments are one weekday a week, around 12-2 p.m., and one evening potluck a month. Invites occur on a rolling basis.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
