An ancient ritual tradition used by indigenous cultures as a means of opening up and accessing inner wisdom. Before entering the journey the participant formulates an intention? What do I wish to gain from this experience, what would I like to resolve? Trusting that the intuitive, subconscious, collective mind knows allows the body to offer its own felt response free of conditioned pattern based responses. Blindfolded the mover is guided by the drum and other instruments in to a place of deep trance, moving from a place of thinking in to a place of being. This amorphous space offers the potential for perspectives to change and horizons to expand.
This 10 minute documentary piece explores one movers journey as he encounters himself through the dance.
