Workshop: Trance Dance and Tantric Shamanism
Monday, January 25 - 10:45am to 12 noon
The fabric of life is woven between ordinary and non-ordinary realities. Our awareness for the most part is on the external, ordinary reality, magic and discovery. The potential for deep personal healing is when we enter the non-ordinary reality, the world of Trance Dance and Tantric Shamanism.
In this highly, experiential workshop you learn how to listen and feel music in a new way. We explore music that activates each of the chakras, giving them expression and Tantric life through toning, movement and sound. You’ll understand the dynamics of shamanism through Trance Dance, how to hold space, program music, induce altered states of consciousness for healing and wellbeing. The healing power of sound, and how sound translates into music has a significant impact in your health and life.
The essence of change and enlightenment are in the word ‘trance.’ Like, Transformation, Transpersonal, Transcendence, Transmutation and Trance Dance.
Goal: To experience the power of music in an altered state of consciousness and understand the dynamics of Shamanism through Trance.
Learning Objectives:
- Increase your understanding of Trance Dance, Tantric Shamanism, non-ordinary realities and the healing potential,
- Gain the knowledge of how to balance the chakra system with music and dance, and
- Learn how to feel music.
Evening Event: Trance Dance: An Evening of Sacred Connection Through Primal Rhythms and Movement
Sunday, January 24 - 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm
You’ll be enthralled and emancipated during this evening of Trance Dance and live didgeridoo.
Evocative music that goes from wild to the sublime is the gateway to your experience.
Didgeridoo, rattles and drumming weave between the dance and the music creating a tapestry of primal, aboriginal sounds.
Trance Dance is a unique blend of healing sounds, dynamic percussive rhythms, transformational breathing techniques and the innovative use of a blindfold or bandana, stimulating a trance state that promotes spiritual awakenings, mental clarity, physical stamina and emotional well-being.
Shamanic cleansing ritual and didgeridoo chakra balancing will be part of the dance experience.
