In Motion

With dance, the heart, body, and being become receptive enough to listen.

Dancing helps to release emotions and creates space in
the body. It also opens up the heart, empties the mind, and
becomes a meditation and a prayer.

This is an invitation to have a total body, mind, and spirit experience through conscious movement, ecstatic dance, and the inner stillness of meditation.

Arrive in a place and community where each is welcome to be themselves.

In many shamanic societies, if a person arrived at a healer complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask:

When was the last time you danced?
When was the last time you sang?
When was the last time you were in silence?

In the morning of this workshop, explore the Earth and Fire elements through conscious movement and ecstatic dance. Burn away the unnecessary burdens of the past. With this new lightness comes a new readiness to face a changing world with new paradigms.

In the afternoon, move with the element of Water. Flow with the liquid body within through gentle and organic movement.

They say that movement is the highway to silence and stillness. Close the day with some passive meditation techniques to explore Peace and Silence.
