Playshop :: Silence & Sound:
A Nia Dance Meditation
Saturday, May 15, 3:00 pm
This playshop is designed to tap into and activate the subtle and powerful effects of giving attention to the chakras and the energetics of making vocal sounds with a relaxed, moving body, mind, emotion and spirit.
We'll begin with a guided movement experience of each of the seven chakras, one at a time, for about seven minutes each. There is no vocalized instruction, only physical guidance by movement. The gorgeous music is specifically chosen to resonate in the key and tone attributed to activating the appropriate chakra. This type of attention to movement specificity is extremely relaxing and energizing.
Once we've activated each chakra individually, we'll then freedance with the whole body for a seven minute period. Following that is a seven minute period devoted to stillness and silence after which, we will begin to move the body as an integrated whole and for the next hour we’ll be focused on sounding and having an experience of the depth and power of connecting voice and movement.
We’ll finish with a nice, long half hour of quiet stillness. You will leave this workshop with a new understanding of and relationship with your chakra centers and practical experience and knowledge of how you can relax and stimulate your energy through the conscious use of sound. And it is very likely that you will reach new heights and new depths of consciousness, connection and understanding.
The playshop begins at 3pm and ends at or near 5:30pm at a location near Columbus Circle. Please make a reservation if you plan to attend. I'll give the exact address to everyone with a reservation.
I hope you can make it. I have a feeling this is going to be amazing.
