Dance of Oneness: Ecstatic Ritual in Santa Monica
Tues 7-9 PM
This class is about peaceful flow and delving into ecstatic movement. This is the sema, or ﾓpure listeningﾔ, the ancient practice of the Sufi masters, Rumi and Shams. Sema is a moving meditation, a way to journey through the preoccupations of the Ego, to command your Spirit back to the Present and feel more of who you really are, in Oneness within yourself and in community with others.
You will be guided to feel grounded yet light, empty yet present, sensing movement of energy in your entire body. We begin with a warm-up based in yoga and tai chi, followed by a fine-tuning of body, mind and emotions, which focuses on correct alignment, a fluid spine and sensing our charkas, allowing the flow of light/chi in the body. We then engage in sema: Reverential Bowing Shaking Waves Whirling.
Open to All. Dress comfortably and bring SOFT SHOES or SOCKS.
