This week’s Dance First Insight is from Ellen Watson!
Ellen Watson is celebrating her 40th year on the staff and faculty at Esalen Institute, Big Sur, CA, where she studies, practices, and teaches various modalities of moving meditation practice.
A licensed minister, Ellen believes that the core of all healing begins in the realm of the heart and the Spirit. Among her great pleasures are opening the door for people to dance, to sing and play and pray, to touch and be touched. She is passionate about spreading the good news about how waking up can heal and transform the mind, body and soul.
Ellen is a teacher of Esalen® Massage & Bodywork, Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms, Holotropic Breathwork, Vibrance, Touching Essence, Wake Up & Roar and Your Body is a Musical Instrument.
What are the tools for your trade? Whatever it is that you do, what do you do it with? What’s the relationship between the task at hand and the implements that accomplish it?
Everything you do begins with a thought, usually progressing first to words and then to action. Your brain is the prime mover, but there’s only so much you can accomplish just by thinking about it, (unless you happen to have the magical power to declassified documents with your mind, but that’s a different story).
Sunday, October 30 @10am-12pm PT | 5-7pm UTC
Dance to uplift yourself and raise your frequency. Our aim is to
create inner and outer harmony: in ourselves, in our relationship with
the Earth, with Spirit and with one another through guided and
free-style dance, conscious movement, and meditation.
We will focus on the element of water with sensual yet rigorous dance,
and explore a poem by Rumi that speaks powerfully to our times.
