Meditation means to cultivate the mind and to be aware of our thoughts. Being conscious of our thoughts during meditation we learn that our thoughts are followed by our feelings and actions accordingly. Right here we pause for a moment and explore what kind of thoughts might be helpful to regain our strength and clarity, to be in a friendly, appreciative attitude towards ourselves and others, or to feel energetic and at ease.

Anna Halprin (1920--2021) is considered a revolutionary force in dance. A pioneer in the use of arts for personal development, she created Tamalpa Life/Art Process and Movement Ritual. Halprin views dance as a social experience and metaphor for moving through life. Here you will get a taste of her search to "[unite] personal and artistic growth, life and art, with one aspect continuously feeding off the other and coming together in new ways." We will explore the communicative potential in everyday gestures and create a simple group choreography.
