Sacred Healing and Expressive Arts Fire Circle Ceremony Feb. 5th -11, 2012.

The Forestdance sacred fire circle experience is a co-creative, all night, eclectic spiritual ritual in which a safe art and sharing space is developed around a fire. Inside, from around midnight until dawn, energy and awareness is raised and cultivated through drumming, dancing, singing, chanting, music making and various other forms of human expression. Through the balance of listening, serving one another, and expressing, these layers of that which we have necessarily gathered together tightly to protect ourselves, come down, until a simple and free flowing state of embodied divinity and deep personal freedom rises through us. This culture is very much about reclaiming our own intimacy and our right to experience life to the fullest. Forest Dance strives to hold a sacred container, so if you would like to come, please plan to come from the beginning through the end. For more information on Forest Dance http://forestdance.net/

Simple practices, for peace, health and spiritual growth.

Experience the answers in this two day workshop (total 6 hours) which is based on the best-selling book “Smile to Your Heart Meditations: Simple Practices for Peace, Health, and Spiritual Growth” by author and teacher, Irmansyah  Effendi.There is no greater gift than Opening your spiritual heart for Valentine’s Day!

About the Instructor

Antoaneta (Toni) Krushevska, (born1942) native of Bulgaria, is a renowned teacher of Paneurhythmy.  She studied these beneficial movements from the late Erna Staleva after moving to Massachusetts, USA in 1991.  Erna was one of the original disciples of the Beinsa Douno, an enlightened teacher who introduced this Cosmic Rhythm of Life to humanity. Beinsa Douno gave these three sets of exercises gradually during the years 1932-1942.

Toni worked with Erna,  in translating the words of the Master into English.  She began teaching the movements in 1998 in the USA, Canada and now in Costa Rica. Her description of the movements of Paneurhyhtmy is considered by many to be the most complete and detailed book available.
