Moving Within Our Life's Rhythms
Through the Sacred Art of Belly Dance
May 24th-30th, 2003
Feathered Pipe Ranch
Helena, Montana
~The Goddess within arises through this self-transforming week-long resort
workshop that intermingles the ancient art of Middle Eastern Dance with the
healing path of the Chinese Five Elements.
(No prior dance experience is needed.)
We invite you to join us for an unforgettable experience: a week at the
Feathered Pipe Ranch. Located in the heart of the Montana Rockies, the ranch
is one of the country's premier retreat centers. Surrounded by miles of
forested mountains, the ranch is blessed with a sparkling lake, pristine
water, clean air, abundant wildlife and healing plants that abound in this
mountain paradise.
-To Dance is to give one self up to all the rhythms of life
~Dr. Maya V. Patel
For ancient Chinese sages, it has been known for thousands of years that all
energy moves in one of the five universal rhythms. In this workshop, through
movement and dance within these elements, we will sort out which of these
rhythms dominates our lives. We will discover the fundamental steps to
express ourselves freely and dance to our own unique soul story. The
exploration of our own rhythms within the Five Elements will touch upon the
strength of Earth, the aliveness of Fire, the fluidity of Water, the
Solidarity of Wood and the Clarity of Metal. This journey will be filled
with self-discovery that will even touch upon our relationships with others.
While each day will be focused on each of these elements, you will transform
and evolve with the elemental basics of Middle Eastern Dance, Visualization,
Music and Ritual, Creative Art and Journal Writing, that all serenely blend
with the pristine, healing environment of Feather Pipe Ranch in Helena,
Montana.
On the evening of the last day, we will honor our transcendence during the
week with a Middle Eastern theme celebration that will include professional
entertainment from the instructors as well as provide an open forum for the
group to share their own special talents too; whether it be dance, song,
poetry or anything that moves your spirit!
-If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance.-
