movement medicine arts

MMA facilitates honing fully embodied ATTENTION while engaging the power of INTENTION. This state-of-being and the movement that births through it, is the MEDICINE.

Movement= dance, voice & music… Through spontaneous movement we directly receive alignment, new knowings and timely transformations. the awareness of wholeness becomes directly available to the individual and the collective, for the sake of All.

Movement Medicine Arts Offers:

  • attuning & aligning the multi-levels of being
  • integrating & expanding consciousness
  • direct experience of spiritual resource
  • embodied learning applicable to the life’s-walk
  • developing awareness of both subtle-energetic and physical bodies' anatomy
  • learning & applying universal spiritual principles

Movement Medicine Arts formats, workshops and events revitalize our connection to primal and direct experience of the Spiritual Realities. this unique work is…

  • based in the universal spiritual principles which underlie and unify diverse lineages, cultures and religions.
  • facilitating integration of all levels of being, emotional, physical, mental and spiritual
  • supporting knowing and expressing the authentic-self & realizing our True Nature, embodied.

… on the frontier of contemporary practice formats for evolving consciousness.

Throughout history, peoples have engaged music, dance, song and ritual to know the Spiritual Realities, to experience themselves as much more than flesh, bones, characters and personalities. In the MMA body-of-work, we tap the same primal knowings and accesses to the Spiritual Realities, while employing no specific doctrine, codes or cultural reference. These experiences of our True Nature, both as individuals and as a collective, is the way of healing. It supports the development of a conscious “indigenous humanity”.

about movement as medicine:

Movement is the essential nature of all things and a common quality of subtle energies that underlie all forms. Our bodies, minds and spirit are most healthy and vibrant in their balanced and surrendered movement, connected freely to the spiritual current at the source of them. In MMA, we engage varying degrees of structure in various modalities which all profoundly deepen attention and free-up movement, with the provision of information about energetic anatomy to support. our primal and direct connection to that that is moving All, is the primary medicine.

about extemporaneous creation, ie. improvisation:

improvisation is part of universal laws of chaos and order in rhythm, and an expression of our primal human creative and connected nature. Spontaneity fulfills our urge to remember ourselves as continually created beings in a continually created and creative reality. MMA provides formats for our impulse to move, dance and make music - thus, to make sacred - with spontaneity, and without the mediation of codes or preconceived structures.

 



background:
While immersed in the field of post-modern dance for performance in the mid-1990's, keren and her colleagues were pioneers in Live Art with spontaneous choreography, ritual sensibilities and the awareness of Spirit moving the body. Together, they practiced and performed in innovative and cutting-edge ways as "rujeko performance collaboration", based in San Francisco. keren understood then that these forms - where ritual and live art (music and dance) meet - are not new at all. They are primal and ageless, at the very essence of human expression...

praise for MMA
"keren's offerings in MMA are cutting edge and very important in these times, wherein our religious codes and dogmas have failed to inspire us or to reveal to us the truth of our Selves within the broader spiritual reality. the encouragement of direct experience and knowing is vital right now...truly movement!"
