 Connecting Through Sacred
Song and Dance

The fast paced culture we survive in discourages soulful and heartfelt connections. We yearn for and must have something deeper. But often, we fall short of what would truly nurture us on all levels. Music, in the form of repetitive song, can bring us back to a gentle, open place from which we can safely release our love. In that space, we can then interact with others in a beautiful and profound way...through interactive circle dance. In the tradition of the Sufi's we shall immerse ourselves in the spirit of togetherness as we dance into the Oneness.

 Men: The Sacred Gates of Transformation

Men are still in the midst of an identity crisis. Having been programmed throughout the existence of humans on Earth to be the warrior and the breadwinner and the proactive being, we find ourselves now in the throes of confusion, oscillating between the aggressive cave man and the soft, sensitive, sexy hunk. In the midst of the extremes we search for some foundation. The women's movement has given us a parade of wishes and demands, most justified. But just as we donned the cloak of each, the form changed and we were asked to be just a little bit more....of whatever. The simple truth is that we are men, just men...living, breathing, feeling human beings capable of magnificence and mistakes. We only desire to be what we are.

This workshop opens those doors to our past, our present, and our future to reveal the beautiful and multi-faceted being we must be in these times.

 Putting Being into Action

We, in the Western world have been bombarded by an Eastern philosophy that encourages us to simply be. In direst contradiction to this marvelous and healing directive is the reality that Western life is about action.. Our programming says move and go. So, the challenge is to take the Eastern "being" and merge it into the Western "doing" to create a harmonious expression of the two...a balance.

This workshop explores ways to create a softness in expression; a centeredness in action; an inner connection in the middle of an outer experience.

 The Wisdom of the Elders
                                                                            

In native cultures the elders are revered and held in esteem. They are looked upon as the wayshowers  and the bestowers of wisdom. They are kept in the family and often assist in raising the children. Thus, the goodness of the culture is preserved and there is a traceable link between then and now. In the Western world, we farm out our elderly as we perpetuate an addiction to youth.  We foolishly turn our backs upon the wisdom that only the years can bring.

This workshop is an invitation for anyone over 60 years of age to come and share the wisdom gained through living, with a respectful, honoring audience.. Each participant will be videotaped to result in a magnificent collection of local philosophy. It can easily become a fundraiser for a church or organization.
