Qigong: Tools for Self-healing: 1-1/4 hour class With Beth Freewomon

Qigong (A.K.A. Chi Gong) is a moving meditation technique that not only improves physical fitness, but also assists us in achieving a deeper sense of calm, relieves tension and stress, and helps us recover from injury and illness. It is part of the ancient systems of Taoism and Chinese medicine that value the interconnectedness and inherent wholeness of all of our Self and our body’s seeming parts. Qigong supports our bodies’ natural capacity for self-healing. Qigong allows us to relax, get out of “fight or flight” and our parasympathetic nervous system to take over so healing can happen. Our practice includes conscious breathing, stretching, activation of chi, flowing movements and more.

The Voice of Nature: A Journey Through the Primal Voice with Colton Jones

Unlock the raw, healing power of your voice. The Voice of Nature is an experiential vocal workshop exploring throat singing, primal tones, and natural sound expression—rooted in ancient traditions and intuitive awareness. Whether meditative, energizing, or deeply emotional, this practice reconnects you with the earth, your body, and your inner voice.

No experience necessary—this is a space for exploration, not performance.
Come as you are, and let your voice grow wild.

Throughout millennia, singing has been an integral part of the lived experience. Its presence echoes not only through human cultures, but across the animal kingdom—birds, whales, cats, mice, dogs, even insects—all resonating with the primordial hum of the world around them.

This workshop will guide you through vocalization techniques designed to let you ride the wave of sound as it moves through you, rather than trying to force it into shape. Those who’ve never considered themselves “good singers” will discover that their voice is just as magical as any other—and seasoned singers will find themselves using their voice in ways they never imagined.

Through this practice, you may find power, confidence, healing, and a deep sense of harmony with the world around you.

Come sing the universe—and feel it resonate within you.

Contemplative Dance Practice with Miriam Wolodarski

Contemplative Dance Practice (CDP) is a dancer’s meditation hall / a meditator’s dance hall. Based on the work of dancer and choreographer Barbara Dilley, the practice offers an array of tools to help us become aware of the movement of both body and mind. Through meditation we notice and focus, through movement we become alive and engaged, and through improvisational play we practice dropping our social mask, tuning to each other and our environment in new ways. The sessions consist of three parts: first, sitting meditation, in which we practice noticing the movement of the mind, and guiding our awareness. Second, facilitated personal awareness practice, in which we practice asking our body what it needs, letting go of ambition in favor of sensation and curiosity. Third, a series of improvisations in which we expand our awareness out into space to notice what is calling us, attending to the emergence of arrangements of time and space, relationships, influences, images, or emotions. The sessions are for all bodies; everyone is welcome to join, regardless of past movement experience.
