Zen Dance Wednesday's 7:30-9:15pm Next Zen dance dates: 8/11, 9/1, 9/15, 9/22, 10/6, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27, 11/3, 11/10 Subud house: 330 Melville Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94301 Influenced by Osho, Ecstatic Dance and Zen Meditation, we join together to create a sacred place. Letting go of the dancer, we become the dance. The body moves, in whatever manner it seeks, no right or wrong, no pretty or ugly, just move. We enter the space with a little bow, in recognition of our surrendering, stepping with gratitude into a space of meditation; meditation in movement. We dance and play, together alone, in and out, respecting the space we are in and the space our fellows are in. creating heat, sweat, joy, laugh, sink in and fly out. You are encouraged to explore. Let your body take over and find new. We finish the practice with a short time of surrender. Either sitting mediation or laying down. No experience required, only an open mind. Investment: $10
"A treasure space for authentic nonverbal expression, radical acceptance, and blissful release." Carmen Casado "Thank YOU Doron! I really appreciated how you held the space. I also loved how you gave gentle guidance here and there, but all the time giving us full permission to follow what felt authentic and right for us. :)" Anita Landon Michelsone "A very sweet flowing energy the whole night. So familiar like family to see my dancing friends and so awesome to welcome some lovely new dancers." Danielle Seybold "Thank you Doron for providing such a warm atmosphere!" Lucy Istomina "AFD: Absolutely Fantastic Dance :) I just wanted to express one more time my gratitude and amazement that you do such a great thing for us. Spending so much time, creating a wonderful playlist that moves your body and your soul and bringing so much great energy which is very contagious. Meditation after dancing is absolutely wonderful and great for people who need to shake their body a lot in order to quiet the mind:) Creating this wonderful sense of a warm community in the final part. I am sure, this is only the beginning of a beautiful journey." Yulia Sytenkova "Zen Dance for me is a place of absolute abandon, visceral (characterized by or proceeding from instinct rather than intellect), riding past the body's first and false limits of fatigue by a more compelling compulsory urge to move, beyond control, to celebrate that I have a body to make motion to accompany sound-except there wouldn't be any thought to have that thought in the moment (yeah, just close your eyes and think dance-no-dance for 20 minutes). The community around Zen Dance is so, so special and sweet. For me, a sacred space to be completely alone and comfortable yet somehow non-paradoxically to allow myself to let people know how much I love, enjoy, SEE, and appreciate them through simple and quick exchanges of smiles, welcoming hugs, playful encounters in dance, and casual, natural, appropriate physical contact--like that exchanged spontaneously among family members or with close friends. It's such a treasure to be able to be authentic in the moment, allowing honest expression and genuine behavior. ALLOW-ance and Noticing. Alone, in community Sweet, sweet joy." Danielle Seybold, Sunnyvale, CA
