“I sometimes forget that I was created for Joy. My mind is too busy. My Heart is too heavy for me to remember that I have been called to dance the Sacred dance of life. I was created to smile. To Love. To be lifted up. And to lift others up. O’ Sacred One, untangle my feet from all that ensnares. Free my soul that we might Dance and that our dancing might be contagious.” ~Hafiz, a Sufi Mystic
A JOURNEY INTO TRANFORMATION THROUGH THE BODY, THE HEART, AND DANCE.
Early spring is a magic time. The Earth has pulled all that has lived and died into its depths, and that old organic material evolves and changes in the cold, dark hibernation of winter, in stillness and rest.
Then, as the sun warms and things start moving, we are mystified and amazed at the LIFE that comes bursting forth again and again, every year – doesn’t it?
Spring is a time of rebirth.
You too carry the transformative power of the Earth, the sun, the water, the fire… You are made of those same elements.
You too can learn the art of allowing the mud and dust we tend to gather in this head-oriented world to be transformed into a lotus.
Yes. Misery can become joy!
And in these difficult times of great change and uncertainty in the world around us, some of your deepest fears or wounds maybe coming to the surface. It is easy to forget that joy that you came to the Earth with. Perhaps it’s time to reclaim that joy!
Rather than carrying those fears around, in Dance, the Joy of Life you have a chance to transform the mud in your life. If a lotus can do it, so can you!
In a safe, intimate space, through simple but profound meditations you will discover the power of the heart, a power we all carry, and how heart meditation already changes your experience of life.
Through movement, inner inquiry, sharing, and dance you will learn the alchemy of transformation, and with the tools you will take home with you – change your life!
You can’t change the past, or the events that have shaped your life – but you can change whether you suffer from them, or receive the gifts of insight, new strength and Joy – that each situation life brings to you is trying to give you.
Join us to discover the inherent knowing and wisdom you carryin your body.
Join us to dance, meditate, love cry, laugh, breathe and reclaim the joy you are here to live.
“Ecstasy is of the heart, is of the total.
DANCE, MY HEART! DANCE TODAY WITH JOY.
Says Kabir, “DANCE MY HEART!” — by “heart” is meant your total organic unity — “DANCE TODAY WITH JOY.” And dance today, not tomorrow. Let the dance be here and now, and let it come from your totality. You abandon yourself; you become a drunkard.
…Yes, joy is mad. And only mad people can afford it….” OSHO, Ecstasy, the Forgotten Language
