Saturday, December 9

10 am to 5:30 pm

Pacific Mountain Centre

3309 Dunbar at 17th

$85 - $65 for students

Open to the wisdom of the body, the earth, our ancestors, and spirit.

Learn to journey to the realms of Non-ordinary Reality using ŒEcstatic Body Postures¹ and integrate the teachings of spirit into conscious awareness with Authentic Movement.

Discovered by anthropologist Felicitas Goodman, ŒEcstatic Body Postures¹ are a sacred technology used by our elders thousands of years ago to commune with the world of spirit for healing, divination, and ritual celebration. Now, to regain access to these realms, practitioners hold a posture from an early indigenous culture, accompanied by drum or rattle, and enter a visionary trance state.

Authentic Movement is a moving meditation which brings deep levels of experience to embodied understanding.

In this workshop, we will explore both ways to connect with our ancient roots and the guidance of spirit. Transformed by these gifts, we will feel our place in the web of life and a compassionate acceptance of all being.
