Paint and Dance from the Source
SEP 20–25 Stockbridge, MA Aviva Gold and Toni Bergins lead this “magical journey to the beloved,” an adventure into the Temple of Paint and Dance. The experience combines these two powerful and ancient rituals for healing, moving back and forth between dancing and painting on a journey of radical breakthrough to the authentic Self. Use paint, dance, and other creative modes to dive deep into the shamanistic source of all creation and healing. Paint not for outcome, but to be in the moment. Paint and dance until your mind releases judgments, comparisons, and personal stories. Paint until the painting paints you, until the dance dances you, until you paint the dance and dance the paint. This is living poetic myth, a sacred container in which painters and dancers bond in openhearted community. www.kripalu.com
