About Merging Movement & Meditation Workshops:
Merging Movement & Meditation Workshops merge movement, meditation, and mantra to explore the essential question "Who am I?"
Have you ever felt restless in your seated meditation? Does your body protest and your mind jump from thought to thought? Have you ever imagined that by embodying your meditation you could remember your true Self and let it out to play? Moving Mantras ~ Merging Movement & Meditation workshops combine guided movement experiences with divine play and the exploration of Self through the body, peeling away self consciousness to access joy, delight and connection. Come prepared to move and be moved in the safety of like souls, letting go of the inner critic. Whether you are an experienced dancer, a yoga practitioner, or someone who simply enjoys expression through movement, this class will open your heart and free your creativity in the spirit of non-judgment. No previous experience is necessary – everyone is welcome!
Using intention, breath, and repetition, Moving Mantras ~ Merging Movement & Meditation workshops include a focused asana practice that ranges from gentle to vigorous with detailed attention to finding equilibrium in body, breath and mind. Students investigate meditation in motion through creative exploration, using mudra, walking, other movement patterns and improvisations. They will learn to compose Moving Mantras™, embodying a word or intention using shape, imagery, movement and repetition to chant with the entire body and the mind. Students will also receive a Moving Mantra choreographed by Betsy Ceva to take away with them for their personal spiritual practice.
Merging Movement & Meditation Workshops are open to everyone. Be prepared to move and be moved.
