Your Facilatator: Deborah Lane(Cherokee Descent)   I view life as a learning experience, full of laughter, joy, and warm friendships that I cultivate by listening and being there. Each step I take and each person I meet on this wondrous path offers a gift of knowledge and pearl of wisdom that I did not possess in an earlier moment. Laughter and a warm hug are the most precious gifts in the universe. Exchanging them with others keeps my spirit vibrant while increasing my life force energy. As a mixed blood Native American, I have learned to walk many paths, honoring them all.

Shamantra Workshop with Saffire

saffire2.gif

September 19-20

A Nia-based Movement and Sounding Playshop


Shamantra is deep sacred play for adults designed to help individuals remember the natural, joyous rhythms of their heart and voice.


SOUNDING ~ FIND YOUR VOICE!

RHYTHM ~ FIND YOUR BEAT!

MOVEMENT ~ FIND YOUR DANCE!


The work is based on the fact that it has been scientifically proven that sounding (vocalizing) and movement together is exponentially more healing than either by themselves. Play is much more enjoyable and easier on the body than work.


On this creative and playful percussive journey we will focus on expanding your personal power through the rhythmic connection you make with your body, mind, emotions, and spirit. These concepts together with Nia, Yoga, floorplay, sounding, and exploring vocal/movement expression that moves beyond the mind, are the roots of the SHAMANTRA experience.
