SUMMARY:Deep in Autumn, Whispers of Winter: A Sacred Circle Dance Gathering for Women
CATEGORIES:event
DESCRIPTION:Deep in Autumn, Whispers of Winter: A Sacred Circle Dance Gathering for Women We are delighted to welcome back Lisa Bardack, Sacred Circle Dance Facilitator, for another sacred circle dance gathering at the Well! Sacred circle dance is a collective dance experience that draws from ancient and traditional folk dances, many from Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Dancing to wonderful music and rhythms, we join the circle of grandmothers who initiated these dances and passed them on. Dancing in their footsteps, we experience a sense of something greater than ourselves, a continuum of which we are a sacred part. The dances evoke joy, peace, insight, healing and a powerful sense of community and interconnection with each other and all life. Born from the Earth, these dances connect us to the rhythms of the seasons and the cycles of life. Moving as one to encoded energy patterns, we learn about our basic relationships of being in our bodies, being on Earth, being in community and being present to the source of all life. Fall is a season that shines with beauty and abundance. The leaves astonish us with their breathtaking colors. It’s a time of pumpkins and apples, the smell of fire from a neighbor’s chimney. We naturally move toward deeper reflection in this season. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fall is the time to look at our lives and see what truly nourishes us and our community, and what gets in the way of our thriving. To let go of what no longer serves to make way for the new. Fall is also an active season! Life picks up the pace. This is where we will reflect on the coming gifts of Winter, the season of stillness and deep listening. Together, we will dance wonderful dances honoring these seasonal reflections and gifts! No dance experience is required (just basic mobility and coordination), as the dances are simple to moderately easy, and the step sequences repetitive. Lisa will gently guide us in the dance steps and share meaningful information on the origins of each dance. You can dance in bare feet, socks, or soft soled shoes. If you love to dance, or perhaps love the idea of sacred dance and are curious to learn more, come and enjoy a beautiful afternoon of movement meditation in the safe and nurturing envionment that is the Well! Registration is limited to 8 participants, so please don't delay! DATE: Saturday, November 2, 2024 TIME: 2:00 - 4:00 PM COST: $40 LOCATION: Well for the Journey - 120 W.

FACILITATOR: Lisa Bardack FACILITATOR BIO: Lisa Bardack, Sacred Circle Dance facilitator, has been dancing most of her life, feeling a deep sense of authenticity with this art form. It was in 1997 that she first experienced Sacred Circle Dance and fell in love with this collective experience of dancing ancient and traditional steps to wonderful music from around the world. She has studied Sacred Circle Dance for over 15 years through classes and conferences nationally and internationally and has been teaching since 2008. In addition to her background in dance, Lisa has also studied yoga, tai chi, qigong, NIA, and other forms of dance, cultivating a seasoned understanding of body movement as an instrument for joy, healing, and wisdom.
