Moving Meditation

Meditation is often understood as a serious practice, done alone, sitting still. This workshop introduces participants to a different approach. We will begin with an introduction to breath, and meditative breathing techniques. From there, we will explore the intersection of dance and meditation through solo, partner, and group exercises.

For adults. No previous experience in dance or meditation is necessary. Accessible to any/all physical movement abilities. For example, adults with injuries or those who use a chair can still participate.

Age Range: Adult, young adult and 14+
