How can we communicate without words to each other and to Spirit? What happens when we are given the opportunity to express ourselves without words?
Join us for a full day of frolicking and playful exploration as we unmask the Divine Dancer within us all. Step out of ordinary reality to journal, mask and dance your way into a deeper experience of reality. This course will explore the rich diversity of communication that goes beyond mere words in ways that are empowering and playful.
This one day workshop affirms that our souls are multilingual by offering a variety of ways of conversing with the Divine, our higher selves and each other. Through group processes, journaling, mask making and movement--all within a safe, sacred space -- you will explore the deeper more subtle realm that lies beneath our everyday reality. These tools help us cross the threshold into the collective consciousness allowing us to listen more deeply to the wisdom within us all. We will use the Fantastical Creatures Tarot to create a shared story; create Masks based on the story of the cards and explore other areas of personal relevance. We will then dance collectively and explore the language of our bodies without judgment. This is followed by more personal journaling and a closing discussion to elicit the wisdom we have just played and danced into being.
Participants will discover that the act of playing is a legitimate spiritual practice for connecting to the Divine. You will also tap into the perennial wisdom and see how it speaks to our times.
