Sacred Dance Weekend Immersion in Rome

Nava Dance

Saturday, November 16th

Miriam unique format Nava Dance draws deep inspiration from Silk Road (Central Asian) themes and aesthetics, as well as from the devotional practice of whirling. In this workshop she will share her deep love of Sufi poetry through devotional dance and movement. The intoxiacting poetry of the great Sufi mystics Rumi, Ommar Khayyam, Hafez, and many others has inspired generations of music and dance along the Silk Road and beyond. Through dancing the poetry, we bring the words to life, and imprint their deepest messages on our souls.

Dance Art Sanctuary

Sunday, November 17th

Dance Art Sanctuary is a fully integrated embodied journey that intricately weaves group ritual with intensive dance immersion and heart centric spiritual teachings. It is a continuously evolving format that focuses on embodying prayers and intentions through movement to encounter dance as a healing art. Each session offers a theme based on a soul trait that inspires an improvisational element as well as a choreographic sequence. The soul traits explored include: Humility, Compassion, Patience, Discipline, Gratitude, Generosity, and Equanimity. Movements are rooted in ethno-contemporary dance, sacred dance traditions from around the world and integrate elements of martial arts, core strengthening, and body alignment practices.

In this workshop we will focus on embodying gratitude on the dancefloor and explore the art of gesture, improvisation and group choreography connected with the theme of gratitude.
