Soul Motion™: The Practice
A 7-day workshop with Zuza Engler and Michael Molin Skelton
May 26-June 2nd, 2012
Soul Motion is a practice where we cultivate our capacity for listening to the deep wisdom of the body and the silent whisperings of the soul.
We spiral with curiosity at the crossroads of our past and our possibilities. When body meets soul, movement meets moment… a dissolution into spirit. This is the dance of the soul~in~motion.
This workshop, for the seasoned soul motion veterans and soul motion virgins alike, is a week-long dive into the architecture that supports the Soul Motion ministry with emphasis on pause presence, orbit orientation and echo inspiration. Michael and Zuza, playing and praying together for the first time in this way, will be teaching to invite, inspire, incite and ignite the deep dance within each of us.
Inquiries, structures, and points of view will be offered to facilitate this step-by step journey across the four landscapes of soul motion: dance intimate (solo), dance communion (duet), dance community (ensemble) and dance infinite (ritual space). we will investigate relationships between energy, motion, and space, moving to an eclectic mix of music from classical to experimental, including sacred chant, rap, jazz, contemporary electronica, and the great sound of silence.
Come take with us a rare behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of soul motion. These two facilitators are lined up to tune your sense and understanding of this practice.
This workshop is open to ALL. It is a base requirement (pre-requisite) for the Soul Motion Leadership Program and is based on the work and vision by creator Vinn Marti.
"Visionaries simply imagine what does not yet exist. We glimpse into a possible future. Soul Motion™ provides a vehicle for gazing toward each moment as movement. Our practice is unrehearsed and unknown, while being approachable and accessible." —Vinn Martí
