The universe unfolds
in the body, which is its mirror and its creature. --Octavio Paz

It
is important to be impeccable in the beginning. -- Janet Adler
Bringing consciousness and the body together in a friendly
way is a developmental journey, one that richly rewards those who travel this path. Here we focus on Beginnings: the
origins, the ground form, and some applications of Authentic Movement. There will be journaling and readings to supplement
the experiential work of the group.
The Spiral In: Ongoing Authentic Movement Practice
Ongoing throughout the year, with new groups configuring in the fall. By invitation.
Please inquire if you are interested.
First we must work in our individual body, without seeking any escape, since this body is the very place
where consciousness connects with Matter. -- the Mother, as quoted by Satprem in Sri Aurobindo or the Adventures of Consciousness
For those with a solid grasp of the ground form of Authentic Movement, a number of groups are available for
continued deepening and unfolding through this practice. Groups form organically, based on needs, interests, and rhythms
of participants. Please email for details or to express an interest.
Sacred Body Practice
Offered
at various times throughout the year. Email for dates.
This
series allows for the inspired interweaving of form with formlessness and personal with transpersonal, in an embodied approach to the sacred. Each time we will begin with a breath
or walking practice, followed by a Dance of Universal Peace, a short period of inner-directed movement, silent meditation,
and spoken word. This is an Open Series, meeting for five weekly sessions, so come once or come every time!
Cost: By donation.
