some current workshops
authentic movement
- deepening embodied consciousness
- opening to the Mystery
- strengthening the witness as sacred container
authentic movement can be a practice of meditation in motion. it is a discipline
of witnessing the experience of being embodied through attending intimately
to the body's shape, movements, sensations, imaginations, feelings and thoughts,
as they arise and shift with eyes closed, in a meditative state. the form offers
us to be in the roles of "witness" and "mover" alternately. in either role,
each is attending to deepening their awareness of their own experience. in
the practice, we also investigate accurate and artful enunciation of our own
embodied experience as both a communication and integration tool.

the sacred space jam - devotional improvisation
this workshop teaches a unique devotional practice which engages the expressions
of music, movement and voice and the natural blending of them all. we practice
to enter the collective-mind after attuning to higher vibrations through the
individual mind. we become attuned to receive the dance/music creation of the
moment in spontaneity, and we reflect on this experience as a blueprint for
receiving guidance in the life-walk. this workshop is for all levels of experience
in music and dance, and offers itself to deep and spontaneous healing, collective
ritual and wild play!

dancing more free
embodied consciousness techniques for free-dance
resourcing the alexander technique principles and keren's unique guidance in release technique, our free dance practice finds new and expanded possibilities.
previously held old postural habits are freed and bounded energetics are released,
giving birth to new pathways of movement that are more easeful, efficient, integrated,
and thus, surprising and more ecstatic. the practices and information given
in this workshop greatly support participants' work also in other movement/dance,
voice, and bodywork.

post-modern dance
this dance-technique training is based in awareness of experiential anatomy,
including wisdoms from yoga, bmc and the alexander techniques. we learn the
easeful and natural functioning of the body's anatomy and physiology in the
highly athletic dance. through releasing extraneous effort and holding in the
tissues, power exudes and we find a great freedom in movement, sublime moving
experiences and fierce-full-out dancing. included in the class/workshop are
practice exercises, improvisation and choreographic processes.

yoga and integrative movement
a fluid practice of asanas with attention to alignment, easefulness in stability,
free breath and energetic connectivity. we also use moments of integrative
movement, between asana segments based in the wisdoms of alexander technique
and authentic movement. chant concludes each class.

movement medicine ritual
the creation of movement-based shamanic rituals that are
powerful medicine in marking transitional or transformational
occasions in our lives. we become conscious conduits of
spiritual expression through movement and music in order
to alchemize in line with our chosen intent. organic materials/objects,
dances, movement and music, silence and stillness are all
forms and symbols that may be used in the creation of our
collective ritual.

contact improvisation - mind states and mechanics
keren guides participants into a sublime state of trust and surrender, attuning us to our core impulse and intuitive desires for movement. we study baseline mechanics - for falling, lifting, climbing - engaging wise architecture of the skeleton and the core muscles near the bone. learning both mind-states and mechanics provides for easeful and fluid dancing, with dynamic weight sharing and exchanges, safety and joy in the dance.
