Soul Motion™ at Madrona MindBody!
These classes are based on Vinn Marti's work - creator of Soul Motion™
"We are bodies and souls in motion giving birth to the renewal of possibilities and accompanying the death of that which no longer serves the opening hearts. With souls in motion we call forth the warrior within to stand guard to all the ways we block the awareness of love and joy’s presence. " --Vinn Marti'

Soul Motion Series: Sacred Ground - The Landscapes, Viewpoints and Platforms
With Aletia Alvarez
Next series (6 weeks) start date: Wednesdays - starting June 30th - August 4th, 2010 - 6:30-8:30 p.m.
This committed series of four-weeks is designed to allow the group to move together. Each person exploring their own unique rhythm while keeping "eyes open" for the spaces that greet common-unity.
Deepening in the individual and collective vocabulary as we expand our practice of Soul Motion. This series offering is facilitated through the spoken word, witness, and presence. It is an invitation of spirit, motion and possibilities. No experience is necessary just an openness to engage the mystery of the internal and external landscapes.
SoulMotion "movement ministry" is based in four landscapes: Dance Intimate (solo), Dance Communion (duet), Dance Community (body choir) and Dance Infinite (prayer space). Different practices, structures, and points of view are offered to facilitate the journey on any given day. This class will provide opportunities to further explore your own dance in relationship to the larger context of other, community and the grand mystery.
Pre-registration is required. If you need to miss more than one class during this series - it is suggested that you wait until the next series begins to enroll. 6 weeks series. Limited to 25 dancers.
Soul Motion: Morning Practice
Tuesdays 8:00-9:15 a.m. with Aletia Alvarez. This is an on-going class - Open to ALL.
Deepen your connection to self and other with 
this joyful extended Soul Motion class!
We begin together - so please arrive at least five minutues early. The morning class and evening class differ in their content.
Tuesday Mornings: This class is lightly facilitated through witness and presence providing an opportunity to deepen in your own personal practice while exploring creative expression, creative relationships and divine dialogue. An opportunity to dive deep with other kindred spirits... celebrating that interior landscape – a place where you can sharpen and explore your own pause practice. Move and flow to soft rhythms while holding your own wisdom. This practice questions… How do I engage that vital spark of SOUL, listen with gentle courage and gratitude, and share it in an authentic voice with the world? One answer: Take a step and give it expression through movement. Morning classes provide meditative movement sessions to deepen in your own practice.
In ALL classes: The music is diverse and eclectic. Some of the movement passages will include the resounding song of silence.
Rather than a dance class, Soul Motion™ is an facilitated inquiry into embodied consciousness through movement. Beginners are especially welcome, because you help us wake up out of our habitual patterns as we experiment with ourselves and with one another in this awkward and magnificent journey of self-discovery and belonging.
