Community Dance & Council Gathering
Saturday, April 2nd
9:00-10:15 am Mountain (11:00 am - 12:15 pm Eastern/NYC)
Council is a practice of listening and speaking from the heart. Lauren will facilitate the process, and offer prompts for storytelling. Our theme will be community & connection. No prior experience or preparation is needed, come as you are, and be open to your personal stories appearing in the moment.
A little more from www.centerforcouncil.org:
Council is an age-old practice that involves bringing people together in a circle to bear witness and share authentically. Participants agree to speak one-at-a-time, sharing their personal stories and experiences, rather than opinions, and listening non-judgmentally while others do the same.
Council weaves ancient practices and wisdom traditions developed over thousands of years throughout many different cultures around the world. It draws from practices like Veche (Slavic), Satsand (Hindu), Ho’oponopono (Hawaiian), Daré (Zimbabwe), Fambul Tok (Sierra Leone), Ibitaramo (Rwanda), Diwan & Loya Jirga (Islam), Farbrengen (Hebrew), and Quaker Devout Listening Circles, to name a few.
We'll start moving and dancing together for the first 25 minutes, then move into the Council circle for the rest of our time together.
This is a precious chance to get to be together and really see and hear each other. It is also a lovely moment to invite friends into the mix and get to see those of you who can't make it to the week day live sessions.
