Ethereal Reservoirs: Ceremonies of Body and Spirit
with Sarah Chandler and Bonnie Schwartz
Breathing in ocean breezes, plunging into a freshwater river, dancing in the rain. The power of water to cleanse and renew is too often reserved for unique vacations and summer trips. How can we access, physically and spiritually, the true power of water as a sacred source, on a daily basis? As we move through springtime and notice the trees bloom with flowers and green, we may miss out on the life force of water all around us. While the industrial world has reduced water to a commodity, we explore ways to reinstate water to its true value. The flow of water through earth, air, sky, our bodies, and the diversity of organisms around us, is essential to life as we know it, and yet this sacred element often goes unnoticed. Combining functional movement with Jewish and secular mystical teachings, this session will give you access to ethereal reservoirs of fluid ceremonies of body and spirit. Participants will leave this workshop with practical tools for developing a unique daily water ritual.
