About
This Month's Event
We're very excited that Richard Bock, Mellissa Seaman, and The
Quantum Light Breath Orchestra are coming back to Santa Cruz to
facilitate an evening of Quantum Light Breath Meditation and Shamanic
Trance Dance. Using deeply effective guidance, Richard will guide
us in exploring the healing power of the breath, combined with the
deep vibrational sounds of the didgeridoo and toning, as well as flute,
harmonium, Tibetan bells and bowls, drums, and other musical instruments.
In an atmosphere of permission and direct experience, old belief and
holding patterns can easily give way to reveal the radiance of our
true nature. Mellissa will then
lead us in Shamanic Trance Dance, an ancient practice of utilizing
specific trance-inducing rhythms and breathing techniques to release
the spirit to journey, free of the ego and the chattering brain. In
addition to the Quantum
Light Breath Meditation and Shamanic Trance Dance,
the evening will include a facilitated sharing circle to ground and
integrate the experience. All are welcome. Dress for movement. We
look forward to seeing you there!
The Quantum Light Breath Orchestra
Richard Bock (right), Aquatic Bodyworker, CMT, is a
well-known practitioner of Watsu and Waterdance, and teaches at the
School of Shiatsu and Massage at Harbin Hot Springs. His work is characterized
by constant attention to the breath and by an extraordinary ability
to connect profoundly with each person on both a physical and energetic
level. Richard has been teaching meditation since 1978 and is a longtime
practitioner and facilitator of Quantum Light Breathwork. Richard's
style is warm, personal, and a direct extension of his being - a combination
of childlike joy and deep, passionate connection. A deeply spiritual,
loving, and present human being, Osher (middle) has
been playing the didjeridoo for over eight years and is a virtuoso
with sound, vibrational, and tonal healing. She performs and plays
for music meditations, teaching, rituals, and events, and offers sound
vibrational healings in all around the world. Jon (left)
has been performing and composing music since he was very young, and
currently records and produces music out of his San Rafael-based Little
Buddha Studio. His musical explorations continue to lead him deeper
into the experiential aspects of healing through sound. Through Quantum
Light Breath, Jon's musical sensitivity enhances the breathwork experience.

Volunteers

meal, and will be invited to our annual Holiday Gratitude Party in
December. To volunteer, please call (831) 457-6535 or email volunteers@ecstaticlove.net.
About
Sacred Saturdays
Each Sacred Saturday is unique, drawing from various traditions such
as Tantra, meditation, yoga, Buddhism, Sufism, Native American, dance,
chant, and other paths to help us connect with ourselves and each
other from a place of presence, awareness, and aliveness. Each monthly
evening provides the opportunity to participate in a special Tantric
Puja (sacred ritual) that may involve movement, music, breath practice,
energy work, dance, chanting, active and still meditations, guided
visualization, communication practices, and other ways to honor and
celebrate our bodies, hearts, and spirit. Practices and rituals may
be done alone, with a partner, or as part of the whole group. We strive
to create an environment that is safe, respectful, and comfortable
for those coming alone or as a couple, those coming for the first
time, and those who want to build an ongoing community of people devoted
to cultivating sacredness and joy in life.
