Spirit Body, Soul Dance

Spirituality through movement

In most ancient and indigenous cultures, movement is an integral part of worship and the ritual celebrations of community life. Many of us have lost touch with the power of our moving bodies to enhance our connection to deeper sources of both individual and collective wisdom. In this program, creative movement, gesture, and sign, are seen as expressions of the wholeness of life, and the sharing of personal and community awareness.

This program is for people who would like to:

• Have a more embodied experience of their spirituality
• Bring movement into their worship and religious life
• Experience prayer and meditation through the body and movement
• Explore illness or injury as a spiritual journey
• Celebrate life in community with others 

Format: Experiences will include individual movement meditation and prayer, small group work using movement with words, and whole group circle dances. Processes will be drawn from mindfulness practices, sensory awareness, and Authentic Movement. Discussions will consider how these experiences can be used in both traditional and alternative forms of worship and ritual. No previous movement experience is necessary. Each participant is invited to bring a piece of writing - poetry, scripture, song, or any short passage that has personal and spiritual meaning.
