RHYTHM AND THE WAY IT MOVES US
Throughout time, mystics have used the study of rhythm as a doorway into awareness. Rhythm is a force of life throughout all traditions. This workshop is devoted to the exploration of the science of rhythm based in sacred sound and mantra and exploring the way the rhythm moves us.

Monday 11-12:30 Zuleikha.
THE SACRED TEXT OF MOVEMENT/BODY LISTENING
Body Listening is a movement practice for everyone,

MOVEMENT opening the door to Listening

ALLOWING for mind relaxation, energy rejuvenation and deep recentering.

A PRACTICE for everyone – for those who are well and those who are healing.

The Sacred Text of Movement uses music from world spiritual traditions. Learning to listen inside of the body reveals the sacred text movement.  This is non-stressful movement on the floor.  The wonder of listening through the sacred text of movement allows for spacious awareness.

No previous experience of music, dance or movement necessary. Workshops are open to all.
