All Love Class with Guest Teacher: Patrick Scott Zeigler: June 4 - 5 (Introduced to In Balance by Anna Pittman)
What is an All Love Class? First it is best not to label or define what it can be or is, because soon as we define the experience it adds that limitation. Each class is very unique, this is because it is a co-created experience, by all who participate. The class does have a guide who specializes in allowing the group energy to flow. Because there is no set definition of the class, the unexpected may occur. Therefore as a group we are able to move beyond any previous expectation. The class is called All-Love because the most common experience is that of the Spiritual Heart Initiation that most all participants experience; however, it is not limited to only that. Most most common expression is"I did not expect that!" For many the All-Love experience is the most incredible experience of a lifetime. This has been true for many who have been on the path for a long time. Many experienced teachers have noticed a huge shift in the way they teach after the class. What normally may take a lifetime of spiritual discipline can unfold within minutes. How is this possible one may ask? It is truly a gift! Also we are in a great transition here on this planet. Time is shifting, Many of the old concepts are no longer valid. Now is the time to experience this shift. The All-Love class may change your life forever, doorways may open that you never thought possible. Gone are the days of energy healing where you felt a tingling in your hands, now your whole body will vibrate with the wave of the universe, this is not just a concept, but a true experience that most participants will feel through every cell of their being. Experience All-Love

| Beginner CONTACT IMPROV with Barbara Tait
|
Fridays, 4/15: 7:30 -9:30 pm
|
What is Contact Improv?
Contact Improv (CI) is a movement practice in which points of physical contact provide a starting point for explorations with a partner or partners. It was developed in America in the 1970s, and has been evolving in varied directions since then. In this beginner class, Barbara Tait will lead participants through some basic tools for practicing Contact Improvisation, including falling, rolling a point of contact, weight exchange, counter balance, and physical listening. To practice CI is to practice mindfulness/living in the moment, compromise with others, and allowing yourself to be a vessel for something larger. Many practitioners have found CI principles to be useful in other contexts such as social dancing, mountain biking, and jaywalking.
You need not have any experience with Contact Improvisation or any other dance or movement form in order to attend this class.
Cost: FREE, donations accepted ($5-$10 suggested)
