GURDJIEFF SACRED DANCES
Georgi Ivanovich Gurdjieff was a Greek- Armenian mystic, a teacher whose ideas have influenced a generation of people in the 20th century. According to Gurdjieff most of us are sleepwalking our way through life, automatically reacting to what happens around us in habitual, conditioned ways. Waking up involves "remembering ourselves." As we remember ourselves and become more aware of our "automaticity", we learn to free ourselves from the prison of our conditioning, to live an authentic life. For years these incredible movements were available only to a select group of followers of who discovered and created them, starting in the late 1800s until his death in 1949.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE 5 DAY RETREAT : Through a series of focused movements, learned in silence, accompanied by specific music, we have a chance to become more aware of our inner dialogue. Without the distractions of conversation and the pressure of our "daily rounds," we are able to focus on our feelings, reactions, and location of pain and tension in the body. Learning the movements is learning how to move consciously through life. These movements are from a set of dances and exercises, designed to integrate body, mind and heart energies to create Total Wellbeing
Our Teachers are internationally acclaimed and accredited by the Gurdjieff School. For more information email info@yogawellness.studio or visit www.yogawellness.studio
