Soul Movement Sanctuary ~ w/ Jovinna

A dance workshop inspired by Soul Motionâ„¢ Movement practice

Saturday Jan 15th 7:15pm – 9:30pm

Dance Theater Workshop in NYC

219 W 19th street(bet 7th & 8th Ave) 3rd Floor

I met Jovinna last year while she was teaching an improvisational Soul Movement Sanctuary Dance at Kripalu Yoga Center in Lenox, Massachusetts. Jovinna is a phenomenal dance facilitator! She gives such powerful, loving, gentle guidance that supports participants in finding their own deepest authentic dance. Being a facilitator myself, I noticed and loved the careful selection and timing of verbal cues she gave to help people find their own movement and flow! The music she played gave me a full body dance and eargasm! :-) Jovinna is currently taking the Soul Motion training with Vinn Marti! So many of these principles will be in the workshop! Soul Motion is huge on the West Coast! Jovinna will be traveling all the way from Massachusetts to facilitate this workshop; so take advantage of this rare, wonderful opportunity! :-) Info below-

Soul Movement Sanctuary Workshop

Dance is an intimate union of body, mind, heart, and soul. Each of us has a unique way of expressing the body’s beauty and creative energy. The expression of dance is the result of being present and absorbed in each moment. Soul Movement Sanctuary creates the space for the dancers to practice the art of paying attention as they navigate the inner landscape and the outer landscape. This is an awareness practice in motion. Cultivate your presence as you move through solo, duet and community dance. This body of work is inspired by Vinn Marti’s Soul Motion and Kripalu Meditation-in-motion. There will be no choreography; this is an improvisational workshop all about you expressing your own authentic movement and flow. No dance experience needed. Come ready to move!

Space is limited! Advance Registration is recommended!

Adv Register- $30.

Day of - $40.

More Exciting News~

I am excited to share that this January I am going back to school to finish my degree and become a holistic expressive arts psychotherapist. I will be implementing dance, art, shamanism, reiki and nutrition into my therapy practice! Sort of what I am doing now only with more credentials thus opening up more opportunities! :-)

Due to focusing on school I will be discontinuing the One Love Drum & Dance Circle and rarely facilitating dances myself! I hugely thank all of you who came to all the magical events we had last year. It was always so heart warming and wonderful to see you all share your dance, drumming and hearts so openly.

In 2011 The Dancing Pathâ„¢ will be expanding and taking on a new direction! The Dancing Pathâ„¢ is committed to offering stellar events that get you in touch with and nurture what makes you dance inside and out! This being said The Dancing Pathâ„¢ is intending to host more top notch facilitators in 2011 offering various trainings, events and workshops such as: Biodanza, Yoga Trance Dance, Shiatsu Trainings, Reiki Trainings, Budokon Yoga Workshops, Partner Yoga Workshops, Didgeridoo Workshops, How to play the Djembe Drum and more!

Personally in 2011 I will be offering a Restorative Bliss Class which includes Partner Yoga, Thai Massage, Reiki and Meditation. As well as offering Reiki I trainings. More info soon!

Thank you for reading :-) I look forward to playing and dancing with you all in 2011!
