UNATTENDED SORROW
An experiential workshop

 

We live with unattended sorrow:
The loss of a loved one, a marriage, a dream. . .

Losses that are not fully grieved rob our lives of vital energy. Within the container of a compassionate group process, we will mindfully tend to our hearts—exploring our joys and sorrows. When we listen to and honor our own breath and sensational awareness, we move toward unlocking stagnant energy in order to freely allow joy to enter our lives.


This workshop will guide you through an experiential process utilizing creative healing methods including art, movement, drama and more, opening your heart to experience joy and vitality.


Please wear comfortable clothing, as we will be sitting on floor pillows and moving freely.


Light snacks provided, Saturday lunch on own.

DanceQuest
~ an afternoon for women ~

with
Paula Byrne

"In between the question and the answer ...

is The Dance"

 

This special day-long dance for women is based on the Thursday morning sessions.

The regulars in that class have wanted MORE, so we tried a pilot session of 4 hours last December.

And they loved it. And it wasn't long enough. So...We're doing a 6 hour dance.

The format is just like Thursday mornings:
Move in your solo dance with music that is creative, internally-oriented and evocative.
We dance and journal, then come together to share and integrate.

It's a simple -- and powerful -- format.
~ A long, uninterrupted session of moving.
~ A break for sharing and munching, with a little time for writing/collaging/resting in between.
~ Another long session of moving.
~ Another sharing circle.

The time flies. And the dance deepens.
