Women's Ritual Dance Workshop 11/21

[Guest guest]

Hello,This is another reminder of the upcoming Women's Ritual Dance workshop on November 21st. I hope that you can attend and in order to plan best, if you can let me know by 11/14 that would be very helpful. Even if you are just thinking about it let me know. This will be a wonderful workshop for nourishing ourselves body/mind/spirit, for inner reflection, and for fortifying our women's community through ancient danced patterns. As the winter slowly descends upon us, come warm yourself by the circle dance fires.Warmly,Nada Women's Ritual DanceAncient Forms, Modern TimesI invite you to share in my love for traditional Balkan, Greek, Rom, Armenian, and near Eastern dances. Throughout all ages and cultures, traditional circle dances were used to honor the divine, to heal, to affirm connection to the earth and each other, to build community and celebrate rites of passages and life transitions. The danced patterns illuminate the web of these connections. It is where personal and universal healing can occur. In this workshop we will use the traditional dances as a platform for heightening awareness of body/self, self to community, self to cosmos. We will examine the dances on multiple levels to indulge in these connections. The expressive and improvisational aspects of Dance/Movement Therapy will support further exploration such as sensations, images, feelings, and stories in order to deepen and expand our experience. In these dances we can ï¬nd our deepest selves, each other, and those who have danced the dances before, as we rediscover our oneness with the universe again and again.The dances are joyful, meditative, mournful, full of beauty, longing, life and celebration.
