Join Betsy Ceva merging movement & meditation
with the power of word to access joy, delight, and connection
Join Betsy Ceva merging movement & meditation with the power of word to access joy, delight, and connection. Moving Mantras merge movement and meditation with the power of word; they are art, therapy and prayer, a formula of moving symbolism using shape imagery, movement and repetition to chant with the entire body and mind, imprinting positive thoughts and intentions into the psyche.
Open to anyone who enjoys expression through movement, we will combine guided movement experiences with divine play and the exploration of Self through the body. You will experience meditation in motion through improvisation, mudra, repetitive movement patterns and a flowing asana practice that ranges from gentle to vigorous. Students will learn to compose their own Moving Mantras for their personal practice. These workshops will open your heart and free your creativity. No experience is necessary, everyone is welcome.
Sunday, October 2nd, “Om Body”
Embody the sacred syllable OM, the cosmic sound, the origin of all sounds which symbolizes Brahman (God), or the essential spiritual reality. The mantra AUM, in its condensed form OM, brings illumination to the mind and represents the trinity of the physical, mental, and spiritual reality; individual, universal, and transcendental consciousness. OM is the entire universe, past, present, and future. In the chanting of OM, one empties oneself and is filled with the essence that is beyond the body and mind. Students will learn to compose their own Moving Mantras embodying OM for their personal practice.
Sunday, November 6th, “Open to Joy”
In this workshop we will open our hearts to the experience of both receiving and transmitting joy. By embodying aspects of Anahata, the fourth chakra in the heart, chanting with the entire body and mind, we will Open to Joy.
Sunday, December 4th, “Magnify Your Purpose”
All of us have goals, desires and dreams. Sometimes we stand on the threshold of realization with our deepest aspirations just out of reach. The first step to fulfillment of our goals is to distill our real desires into words. Choosing and using our words with thoughtful intention is a powerful tool for transformation. This workshop focuses your attention and intention to Magnify Your Purpose through Moving Mantras.
