Fire, Bones and Wings are three symbols rich in meaning. By delving into the three-part process of this workshop, we can access the alchemical power that is available to us in our daily lives in the service of the Christ. Using mind/body principles, movement, dance, music, creative artistry, meditation, storytelling and ritual we uncover desire, depth and freedom for self transformation.

A catalyst for change and growth, FIRE cleanses and purifies, softens and makes malleable, ignites and explodes.  FIRE asks us to release what is no longer working in our lives and to ignite new and heart-felt desires. Through dance, universal principles, and creative artistry, FIRE will bring clarity to both what is being cleansed and what is being ignited.  As we become increasingly present for our own transformation, so will we become increasingly useful for the transformation of our planet.

Our physical BONES support our human structure and provide the skeleton for our bodies.  They give us our shape.  Similarly, our belief systems serve as the scaffolding for our attitudes and assumptions, our defined idea of “self”, and become concretized in the “bones” of our consciousness.  Despite our limiting notions of “self”, it is our birthright that we are created in the image of God and inseparable from that One Source.  Through meditation and story telling, BONES will awaken our stillness and reconnect us with our boundless potential and truest desires.  BONES claims the desire released by fire and pulls it within to the depths of our being.

Like the mythical Phoenix, WINGS gives rise to the resurrected self, the newly awakened aspect of consciousness that is reborn in service for our highest good and that of those around us.  With trust, we gain confidence to soar on wings of faith and intuition.  Our inner guidance is our compass.  A guided meditation and an active Kundalini meditation close the program leaving you with a clear mind, an invigorated body and an empowered spirit.
