As the planet moves towards equinox, EARTH BODY: Movement for All offers a retreat of “balance of elements“: to balance of slow and gentle movement with rhythmic and warming; balance of the body’s hemispheres; balance of revitalizing and restful forms; balance of movements for morning awakening, midday vitality, and night rest; balance of full bodied expressions alongside writing, art and nature. Our bodies will connect to a sense of place through imagination and intuition, memory and full-bodied observation and listening. Together we will experience renewal with multi sensory creative practices inspired by sacred geometric forms, directions, and elements, and the balancing inherent in nature’s diversity that surrounds us in the beauty of Ghost Ranch.
Led by a dance artist with decades of international experience, Rulan is also a cancer survivor who has experienced the life-giving power of simple restorative and intuitive movement. She now extends her professional dance dedication to offering elemental forms that are accessible to all, from a spirit of encouragement, empowerment and individual sovereignty to adapt and grow through movement. No dance background is necessary while those at advanced physical level will enjoy deepening the purpose of movement; and those with interest in trying forms such as yoga, stretch/strength, tai chi, breathwork, will be nourished by EARTH BODY’s uniquely poetic expressions of motion!
