About
Dharma Dance
Dharma
Dance is a movement entry into Life as Meditation.
The practice bridges easily into life. It invites awareness of Body
as it is, Emotion as it is, Heart as it is, Spirit, as it is. It invites
us to know that Mind-Body-Heart is an integrated field of being-ness.
Dharma
Dance invites skillful, co-creative, loving, non-attached relationship
with the world around us and with the Beloved. As we move and as we
are are still – sensing, feeling, and being with ourselves, with
a partner, or with a group – we learn who we are, where and how
we experience Center, where we check out, how we give, how we receive,
and how to co-create without co-dependence. We learn humility and
happiness and the non-separateness of human-ness and being-ness.
Join
us for this explorative, energetic, and meditative evening. We look
forward to seeing you there!

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.
