 WOLF: THE PATH OF THE HUNTER A Shamanic Passages™/Spirit Paths™ Workshop with Gerry Starnes, M.Ed.  Saturday, August 14, 3-8p, $55 ENROLL NOW Earlybird discount: $10 off if registered by 8/9 (available online) Repeat student discount: $5 additional off if you have attended another one of Gerry's workshops this year (call studio to register) Couples discount: $40 per person (call studio to register) This workshop explores intentional living, being present in every moment, infused by the focus of intent. In the Path of Awareness workshop, we learned that the body has access to more than what we ordinarily perceive. It acts on this information instinctively. The Hunter uses more than instinct, though instincts are part of the Art of Stalking. Observation, evaluation, and planning are required. The Path of the Hunter focuses on using intelligence and instinct to identify and "stalk" what you are seeking. The Way of the Hunter also requires clearing your past of old patterns and wounds. You will learn ways to clear your energy field and to recover lost energy and power in order to enable change in your life. Workshop topics and exercises will include: ~ Expanding Perception (Seeing Beyond the Apparent) ~ The Power of Will and Unbending Intent ~ Finding a Worthy Opponent ~ The Cubic Centimeter of Chance ~ Recovering Power Through Recapitulation Explore all this and more in this insightful workshop, as you begin or continue your journey on the spirit path. The workshop will conclude with an opportunity to integrate the experience through a short TranceDance journey. You'll also want to join Gerry for the full TranceDance journey on Friday evening; it's a great way to prepare for the workshop and move into a space of openness and inquiry. Those attending the workshop may attend the Friday TranceDance for just $5 (a $10-$15 savings). Gerry will also be available for a limited number of personal sessions on Sunday. Contact him directly for more info or to schedule a session. This workshop may be taken individually or as the third of a five-part series, to be offered approximately every six weeks. Although the sessions do build on each other as a series, the content is also useful when taken individually. Next scheduled workshops: September 25 ~ Buffalo: The Path of Soul Oct/Nov TBA ~ Eagle: The Path of Spirit For more information on the full Spirit Paths program on which this workshop and series is based, see the Shamanic Passages website.

A "spotter" (non-blindfolded dancer) is present to assist the facilitator in ensuring participants' safety.  This contemporary form of shamanic journey through movement and sound has been developed through decades of research and experience by Wilbert Alix and the Natale Institute. Learn more about contemporary TranceDance. Arrive early, or call and let us know you're coming if you're running late, as doors will be locked and no one permitted to enter once the dance has begun. Bring a special bandanna or scarf to cover your eyes, or borrow one of ours. You may also wish to bring a journal or notebook. Earn free classes by volunteering as a spotter (experience as a TranceDance participant required, email Robin for details). LAUGHTER YOGA  next date TBA Ho-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha! Humans were designed to laugh. Laughter is nature's stress-buster. It lifts our spirits with a happy high that makes us feel good and improves our behavior towards others. We all know that laughter makes us feel good. Laughter is gentle exercise. It fill your lungs and body with oxygen, deep-clears your breathing passages and exercises your lungs. When we laugh our bodies release a cocktail of hormones & chemicals that have startling positive effects on our system. Stress is reduced, blood pressure drops, depression is lifted, your immune system is boosted & more. Western science is just starting to discover the great effects of laughter. Laughter Yoga provides the opportunity to laugh, without reason, to enjoy the countless benefits to body and spirit that laughter offers. "Laughter Yoga combines laughter with yogic breathing exercises. It is a perfect way to laugh and get exercise at the same time. It approaches laughter as a body exercise so it's easy to laugh even if you're depressed or in a bad mood. Last year I highlighted Laughter Yoga on my TV program. I've tried it, and it works." Oprah Winfrey Through hilarity we find clarity! For more info on Laughter Yoga, visit www.laughangeles.com. See the Dallas Morning News article on our Laughter Yoga classes.

LIVE INSIDE OUT: Move Your Sexy Spirit! with Kimberly Cain next date TBA A fun, enlightening play/workshop designed to lift your spirits and reacquaint you with your beautiful, sexy self! What is your concept of “sexy”? Do you see yourself as a sexy, sensual being? If not, would you like to feel better about this vital part of your nature? You can — it’s as simple as shifting your perspective! Our sexuality plays an enormous role in our state of health and wellbeing. Most people receive their sexual cues from the media. Otherwise, the information is mostly academic. Where, however, is the spiritual connection to our sexuality? Without this integral piece, we operate on some very mixed messages! Live Inside Out classes are designed to inspire you to operate from the core of your being — your Highest, Most Excellent Self. Move Your Sexy Spirit is designed to reconnect you to your Sacred Sexual Self. Through music, organic movement, energy work and discussion/sharing, you will learn to recognize just how sexy you really are! Sexual energy is the energy of Creation. And there is nothing sexier than a person with a healthy sense of self-worth. Learn to release negative ideas about your sexuality, move into a healthier space, dance, love yourself, and love others. You have the ability to create a sexier self and a much more authentic community of connected, sexy spirits! Wear: clothing you can move in easily, preferably close-fitting. Bring: water, a journal and a pen — you may have insights that you’ll want to reflect on later. Prepare: your heart and mind by affirming your self-worth, and get ready to feel good! |
