Women's Ritual Winter Solstice Dance Workshop-December 20th

[Guest guest]

Greetings,Just a reminder about the women's ritual dance workshop this Sunday. I hope you can make it.Best wishes,NadaWomen's Ritual DanceDances of darkness, dances of lightWinter Solstice CelebrationI 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. 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. We will be focusing on dances that explore the darker realm of life as we relate them to our own modern lives then we will delve into dances of lightness and celebration to celebrate the return of the light. The dances are joyful, meditative, mournful, full of beauty, longing, life and celebration. come, join me.This workshop is suitable for women who have some dance experience and are comfortable exploring through improvisational dance.
