Transformation and Healing:

Dancemeditation(TM)  is a healing practice wherein we take the time to reconnect
with our bodies through, gentle movement, free movement, writing, witnessing, chanting, and whirling. No previous experience is necessary. Please bring a yoga mat and a small blanket, veil if you have one, as well as a blindfold and writing materials. Please dress comfortably and wear layers in case the environment is too cold or hot. Shamsi's teaching is guided by a desire to make beautiful, healing movement accessible and possible for everyone. By cultivating constant, subtle awareness, Dancemeditation(TM) reaches in and wakes our sleeping inner beauty. Shamsi brings these dynamic principles to her teaching.

Currently Shamsi is not offering weekly classes.  Please keep checking back for workshops times and dates.

From the Dancemeditation(TM) website: 

"Dancemeditation utilizes a wide variety of movement techniques within a primarily non-verbal study environment to drop practitioners out of an over-active, distracted mind into intuitive embodiment.

"The materials are both a solid healing ground for personal practice and a delightful, dynamic community process. Intensive trainings and teaching certification are conducted by founder & principal Teacher, Dunya, in periods of retreat  for in-depth investigation and rejuvenation. These materials can also be studied with certified teachers in seminars, class series and private sessions. Whether training is solitary or accompanied, its non-competitive orientation affirms each person’s beauty, harmony, and magnificence."

 “Dancemeditation has had a singular role as I have worked toward the center of me. As a path it has brought a deeper level of awareness of both self and the world around me; refining my skills of meditation, focus, subtlety, and flexibility of thought and mind.  Dancemeditation reinforced, enhanced and deepened my dance practice, while giving me valuable tools to create positive change and a connected presence in my every day life.

"Shamsi brings many talents to the table.   She has learned and continues to learn her art and craft as a dancer and instructor, but most remarkable is the spirit that she brings to the dance.   Someone once said that music speaks and we listen, Shamsi listens and interprets, fearlessly with her whole heart and soul, giving that essence to the performance and all who watch.   All are captured by that spirit, young and old alike.   Children see her with open eyed amazement and are drawn in like the Pied Piper want to join the dance and the old feel young.   There is within her performance layer after layer, entertainment, and a joy to share the dance...
