Continuum Movement Introduction
Friday  March 19th   7-10pm

"The body is the vehicle through which we experience life. Our work is an exploration of the subtle movements and vital forces within us. As we develop and expand our physical presence, we uncover information and intelligence of the body that transforms our relationship and connection to the larger universe." - Robin Becker

Continuum Movement Introduction - Expand your experience and understanding of the body as a resource for change; a pulsing dynamic organism, instead of a fixed entity. In Continuum we are able to soften boundaries, and habitual patterns of movement and structure, which often allows new innovations in expression, and reveals expansive possibilities of movement, thought and feeling.
(required for the retreat and open to those who want the intro only)

Retreat in the Body: Called to Embody Love  - In this workshop we will explore the movement of the body as being the movement of life, the movement of love. The fluid inner landscape of the body is in constant motion and as we offer our attention to this boundless resource of movement, we increase our awareness of the life force within and of the potency of our connection to the larger world. We become more permeable and responsive to the movement of love expressed as ourselves.

Robin Becker is an internationally recognized teacher who is a professional dancer and choreographer. Robin became an Authorized Continuum Teacher in 2001. Much more about Robin

Sam Dances & Walk Seminar
Dances and Walks: Inspired by Murshid Samuel Lewis
with Shahabuddin David Less

April Fri 16th - Sun 18th
View or Print Flyer

Shahabuddin David Less studied directly with Samuel Lewis, the originator of the Dances of Universal Peace. Shahabuddin has taught the dances in North and South America, Asia, and Europe. He is the spiritual guide and founder of Rising Tide International and the author of “Universal Meditations.” He will share these remarkable spiritual practices and will also offer instruction on how to lead the dances and walks.

The Dances of Universal Peace were created in the late 1960’s by Samuel L. Lewis (1896-1971), a Sufi Murshid (teacher) and Zen Master, who also studied deeply in the mystical traditions of Hinduism, Judaism, and Christianity. He envisioned them as a way to awaken life-energy, joy and peace for all who shared in them by using breath, sacred sound and conscious movement. His original body of about 50 dances, have grown and spread to dance circles throughout the world.

Murshid Sam also gave spiritual walks to attune the seeker with their own natural inclinations. These walks represent the planets, the elements, the prophets of east and west and great spiritual teachers of the past. They break through our informational self and connect with our own inner wisdom.

No experience necessary, just a desire to experience joy!
