The Healing Power Of Music, Movement And Nature
We invite you to a weekend of tuning your instrument (your body heart and soul) through Sacred and Celebratory Music, Meditation and Contemplation, Morning attunement through breath, voice and prayer accompanied by the beautiful harmonic sound of the monochord. Incorporated will be:
Gentle body movement - Chi Kung and Hatha Yoga (an elementary experience)
Dances of Universal peace and Song Circles
Goethean Nature Observation
GIM - Guided Imagery and Music Journey with art process
Guided meditations and toning (tree of life - Kabbalah)
During the weekend we will spend time singing and dancing to sacred and celebratory songs and chants from various spiritual and universal traditions. No experience in dancing or singing is required. The essence of the Dances of Universal peace, are that they are heart-focussed and acknowledge the presence of the divine in each person. There will be ample time to enjoy the peace and beauty in the extensive gardens of the Buddhist Retreat Centre,and, of course, the delicious meals. It is in the participation of the shared experience of sound which brings great peace and healing into our hearts and to the world.
