Hosted by angel edwards
[Virtual]
Black Trance is a movement workshop for the purpose of integration. listening to one's inner voice, inner values, and desires. When we are silent we are able to receive, when we are moving/sweating we are activating our bones, our flesh. We can conjure messages that stem from our learnings, personal experiences, questions, and curiosities. We can also be in the absence and the blackness of not knowing or thinking or dreaming in any particular direction. The trance as a resting place; deep embodiment as a rest place.
The beginning of this workshop will be introductions, physical and mental body check ins about needs, desires and boundaries. Then we will move into a slowly guided movement exploration (I will lead with my voice and instrumental sounds) I’m interested in a space that centers non-verbal communications, (especially during the movement meditation) Prioritizing silence and quiet, while also encouraging more guttural nonsense sounds (moaning, mumbling, laughing, singing, etc)
We will close out gently by sharing what came up (only if desired) and drawing an intuitive map of our experience. Directions for once the workshop is over.
