Ritual Art and Authentic Ceremony
..receiving the ritual of the moment through gesture, prayer, movement and music..
“To make ritual is to consciously participate in Creation. It is the art of giving form to my experience in tandem with saying – here I am.”
At the root of all formalized spiritual and religious practice lies the inner urge, the organic desire, to feel one-self a part of the whole of creation. When we enact ritual we engage this opportunity. Releasing the commonly known codes and definitions of ritual, in this workshop, we go to experience ritual’s seed-source and cultivate the flower of its manifestation into form. This workshop guides the crafting of ritual, based in a clarity of intention and a depth of attention, to mark life’s transformative and transitional times. some intentions may be: release and cleansing rituals, rites of passage rituals, healing rituals, or commitment rituals.
Authentic Movement
&
Mystical Dance
For deepening embodied consciousness.
For opening to the Mystery.
For 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 practice through music and dance.
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 blue print 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!
Learning silence
In this retreat, keren facilitates individuals or groups in the practice of silence and listening for higher guidance. keren co-creates the structure with the participants and contents include guided meditation, hands-on healing, embodied experience in nature, chant and constructive rest.
