Unleash your Inner Psychic : through Zen Tarot Cards

Unleash your Inner Psychic

through Zen Tarot Cards

This two day workshop is aimed to connect you to your higher self, help you gain an access to the universal mind and guide you to a greater understanding of the present moment.

By way of the present and what we seek, the future takes shape in our minds. In a way, the future is happening now.  This understanding helps us to accept and recognize the truth the future holds and become a guiding force in our lives. 

By establishing a communication between your conscious mind and subconscious mind Samadhi assists you to define and accept issues and circumstances in your life and heal them with more clarity, compassionate assimilation and with the right tools.

Through this psychic journey of connecting to your higher self and receiving its message you will find your answers. Once aware of the answer, your subconscious mind will explore, accept and implement it in your present to make your life what you wish it to be.

By being the medium herself, Samadhi provides you the tools to access your inner self and find answers to questions that exist within you. This workshop is inclusive and sharing in character. It teaches  you to decipher the cards and understand the answers they bring ,both for yourself and for others.

Healing with Mudras with Siddhi

Healing with Mudras with Siddhi
explore one of the great mysteries of the Universe - the healing energy of our hands

Every area of your hand is associated with a reflex zone for a specific part of the body and brain. With mudras we can access our entire nervous system, engage certain areas of the brain and exercise a corresponding influence on them. Scientific research shows that we can effectively engage and influence our body and mind by bending, crossing, extending, or touching the fingers with other fingers. In these mudras, intuition and inspiration form a close unity.

Benefits of mudra yoga -

•Relieve fatigue & increase energy
•Lower/prevent high blood pressure
•Strengthen your nervous system
•Strengthen the heart & prevent heart diseases
•Prevent constipation and to remove blockages in the body
•Release headaches and the grip of depression

The human body is built and dependent on the five elements:  Fire, Air, Ether, Earth and Water. If there is an imbalance in one of these elements it will create a disturbance in the physical body. All imbalances can be balanced through the use of our five fingers. Healing through mudras is a science that changes the elements within us.

2 Site Specific Dance Performances
Sunday, 23 March, 4 PM

 

Walk in Gaps

A site specific piece by Swedish dancers- Marie Klawitter and Elin Samuelsson in residency at Zorba The Buddha. The piece explores the process of working with different layers of time and space, questioning the notion of stage, the role of audience and performer.

Artists' Bio:
While Marie Klawitter is movement researcher, explorer of dance improvisation and instant composition from Stockholm, Sweden. With a background in ballet since childhood, she is presently using contact improvisation as a means to extend her movement vocabulary in collaboration with other dancers. Questions about how to relate to nature and the human experience are a major element in her work.
Elin Samuelsson is a swedish dancer graduated in contemporary dance from ‘Salzburg Academy of dance’, Austria in 2009. Since then, she has been creating pieces and projects in collaboration with other dancers, musicians and actors in Sweden and Denmark.

Mystical Forest
An excerpt from the Contemporary Chhau dance production by Sadhya Dance Company re-introduces the youth to the joys of being one with nature.

So don’t be surprised to see people hanging from trees, showing off some powerful martial arts and hunting sequences.

The company has many productions like We can make the difference, Chaitanya, The Game of Dice, Natraj – The lord of Dance and A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen to it’s credit.

Bioenergetics: bringing the body to life

  Bioenergetics - Bringing the body to life

      Bioenergetics was pioneered by Alexander Lowen in the 1950s. He rediscovered working with energy that was used by mankind since ancient times to restore ones natural life force.  

      Bioenergetics is based on the understanding of close relationship between body and mind. Any form of trauma, stress or strong emotional experiences not dealt with get stored in the body and eventually inhibit our energy & spontaneity.

       In the workshop we will be guided through a series of physical exercises involving breath work, special structures and dance to release any physical tension. The Bioenergetic processes will enable you to release stress, experience self-love and find a deep place of stillness within yourself.

Come and join us in this journey from the head to the heart!

Bio:

A member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, Rakendra has been involved with Bioenergetics since 1998, training in both the Humaniversity Holland and Namaste Bioenergetics community in Brazil. Using Bioenergetics and other forms of shamanic work, Rakendra works to unravel blockages in peoples’ bodies enabling them to heal and expand their capacity to live.
