Dancemeditation™ is a unique, integrated movement meditation system for self-discovery, healing, & evolution. Through the cultivation of embodied awareness and present-ness, Dancemeditation™ explores relationships between self-&-other, self-&-cosmos, self-with-Self, and self-to-the Divine Eternal, and ultimately dissolves relationship into non-duality, into One-ness.

The premise of Dancemeditation™is that the body is spiritual intelligence, the body is mind. Study focuses on learning to listen to the body with curiosity and respect.  Dancemeditation™ practice develops trust and adeptness in this receptive process.

Dancemeditation™ is an integrated synthesis of three large bodies of work -- art, somatics and Sufi-lineage mysticsm. The materials resourced provide doorways and ignition points to embodied spiritual illumination and growth.

Dancemeditation™ uses a wide variety of movement techniques (see Basic Practices for a few examples) within a primarily non-verbal study environment to help practitioners drop out of an over-active, distracted mind into intuitive embodiment. Inner & outer witnessing are balanced. Dancemeditation™ is a personal path and a pleasurable, dynamic community process. Its non-competitive orientation affirms each person’s beauty, harmony, and magnificence.

Dancemeditation™ links its practitioners to the deepest roots of human quest for spiritual understanding and Truth.
