Dancing Big Picture Dreaming with Daily Living 

Taught by Mary Abrams, MA, RSME

During this 2 day weekend of silence we will focus on dreaming, integrating life desires with reality, and allowing our bodies to guide us in ways to balance ambition, big picture plans and visions, with moment to moment living and self-care.

We gather on Saturday to begin exploring our theme and introduce ourselves to practices of breath, sound, and movement that become our mantra and support for diving into silence.  After a short break we return without words to commence our silent exploration which lasts until Sunday between 3–4 pm.  We will emerge from silence back to words, sharing reflections from our journeys and cultivating support for the unique unfolding of our “right” lives.
