SUMMARY:When the People Could Fly: a Somovement Journey
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Hadley Mays \nTrance Dance\, experiential anatomy and somatic movement for an integrated\nbody-mind and soul journey \nThis experience situates itself within a perspective\, that there is no separation between the physical and the spiritual dimensions: the human experience is a spiritual experience\, and the human body is both the material of and gateway to infinite dimensions of spirit and cosmos. We can navigate these dimensions through ecstatic and kinetic states of consciousness. Come fly with me: flight as dance\, as soul venture\, spirit journey and kinetic trance. Dive into a place where your vast interiority opens into the deep space of manifold intelligence. \nThe Practice\nBegins with somatic movement to prepare our bodyminds for trance and the extended ranges of our somatic perceiving. Then we Trance Dance\, a blindfolded ritual dance process using breath\, movement\, and rhythm. Trance Dance is a co-creative call to action with the sacred spirit world; our intention sets a course\, our soul unfolds. \nCost: $25-40 sliding scale\, no one turned away for lack of funds – BUY NOW \nThe Facilitator \n\nHadley Mays is a certified practitioner of the Trance Dance ritual\, created by Wilbert Alix and Frank Natale from collected shamanic traditions and practices spanning over 40\,000 years. She has lived\, worked\, trained\, healed and played in altered states\, trance and the visionary realms throughout my life in many different countries\, cultures\, and contexts. \nBrief Bio\nHadley Mays is an interdisciplinary theater & movement artist\, teacher of contemporary performance\, and workshop facilitator\, and I am currently on faculty at Boston Conservatory. She holds an MFA in Theater and Contemporary Performance\, graduate studies in Psychology and Counseling\, and many years of experience and independent research in culture\, ritual\, and performance studies. \nOther details: Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in and something that you can use as a blindfold.
