Join us for group practice of beautiful Dancemeditation with brief opening guidance from Dunya, giving time to your own body and energy.

“”I am in love with the journey…I’m learning something very deep, something words would never cover…” – K.

Our body needs more than a hot bath, a massage, a walk, and a workout.

Join us for our weekly group practice of Dancemeditation, lightly guided by Founder, Dunya McPherson. Dancemeditation helps us be present in our body in the Moment and brings solace, stability, and magic. Without words, with beautiful music, with eyes open or closed, in a continual flow of breath awareness, we move through the crust of harried worries and into our huge spiritual intelligence. We turn away from the external and turn toward the internal. We turn toward awareness of breathing and motion and our body. Rather than working out, we work in. This is time for your own body and energy.

Bring a Friend!

What We Will Do
Dunya  will briefly lead a period of relaxing, wordless instruction to focus and orient participants attention, then suggest a simple, rich moving meditation to sink down a couple of notches inside the self, touching Self. There will be a generous, spacious period of time for participants to do their own exploratory intuitive movement, to digest and integrate meditative efforts.

• Please arrive on time and stay for the entire hour.
• Bring a yoga mat or blanket if you wish to be comfortable on the wooden floor.

“During tonight’s session, I noticed how much I lean into your presence and anchor, Dunya, to find the courage to be alone with myself, to venture into my inner world. If it weren’t for your commitment to this work, I would have missed out on knowing the depths of myself and feeling the intimacy of being present. I would have skimmed the surface of so many moments, afraid of the void, the pain, the vastness of everything. I feel I can trust the authenticity of your movements and your expressive soul. Because I know you are there, I dare to be here.” – G. M., psychotherapist

“The work transcends the therapeutic— it’s profoundly finding the self as part of the spiritual path.” – P.

“I was tickled…by ‘it all,’ the infinite in everything…Especially me & my experience.”  – J.

“These Dancemeditation sessions have meant so much to me.  I am deeply grateful to you for making them possible for us all to be together while going down deep.  It is hard to describe what I have been experiencing.  The work helps me access my heart body. Nurturing myself, feeling the softness of my animal self.” – S.

“The continuous flow took me deep within. I experienced myself from the inside out. Time stopped. It seemed like we had just begun when you said it was time to ‘rest.’ I actually checked my watch because I couldn’t fathom that so much time had passed.” — K.
