Over dit evenement
After the colder months of stillness, contemplation, and abundance, it is time to re-activate and prepare yourself for the blooming spring and bustling summer seasons to realize your aliveness. DJ Leela and David warmly invite you to mindfully and freely move your inner and physical body in a co-created Taoist Qigong and Ecstatic Dance Journey. We will meet at Kokopelli, Amsterdam on Sunday, April 28 from 3-6pm.
Traditional Chinese arts promote a balanced way of living which allows the natural flow of your life force Qi and blood in your physical and energy body. Join us in a co-created journey to move the life force Qi in our inner body and manifest ourselves in our physical body through dance. This powerful combination of freely expressing your inner power in a safe environment, to breath, relax, and connect with yourself and others in a co-created and energizing playground for inner exploration, connection, and movements.
You will be welcomed by live handpan music from DJ/Musician Leela, and David will kick off the workshop with stilling standing meditation after which we will open up our body and energy pathways with Qigong and Daoyin exercises. Once our inner body is opened and warmed up, we will free our heart, mind, and body on the dance floor flowing with the sounds and beats of DJ Leela. Are you ready to move your inner energy body with us?
