More info
Bring power, grace, and presence to your ritual work! We will explore both the mystical and the technical aspects of animating ritual through theatre. Beginning with a brief discussion of the history of ritual theatre and some fun exercises to release inhibitions, we will work on developing the “dual awareness” of inner focus and outer energy projection, and finding the personal inner archetypes that connect to deity. Techniques include moving meditation, kinesthetic visualization, theater exercises, journaling and improvisation. This workshop delves into the ways in which we can become more conscious of the invisible energies of our bodies and minds.
An encouraging, supportive and safe environment fostering confidence and body awareness, finding your voice, and becoming present to self, power, and magick!

I don’t develop; I am.
—Pablo Picasso
Meaning is invisible, but the invisible is not contradictory of the visible: the visible itself has an invisible inner framework, and the in-visible is the secret counterpart of the visible.
—M. Merleau-Ponty, Working Notes
Is that what they call a vocation, what you do with joy as if you had a fire in your heart, the devil in your body?
