Dham­ma­gita

Dhammagita’s work­shop on the breath, developed through her train­ing with Reg­gie Ray

Sat­urday 19th and Sunday 20th Septem­ber £80/£60/£40 (It is pos­sible to attend Sat­urday only £40/£30/£20)

She will lead a vibrant explor­a­tion and appre­ci­ation of our human body in move­ment and still­ness, designed to enhance well­being of the whole body-mind.

• Energy breath­work exer­cises to enliven the body-mind, stim­u­late sen­sa­tion and enhance the dance of energy in every cell of the body
• Move­ment and stretches to open and loosen, help us let go of hold­ing pat­terns and give us a felt sense of change
• Relax­a­tion and ground­ing tech­niques to help us be more fully ‘here and now’ and con­nect with the solid, kind sup­port of the earth
• Fun with an eclectic selec­tion of music from swing to Balkan beats
• Still­ness to know our exper­i­ence fully and be with every sen­sa­tion every moment, hon­our­ing our human being

The day is suit­able for every­body and any body

… how­ever in or out of touch you are with your body. You don’t have to be fit, ener­getic or any­thing but human to enjoy and bene­fit from the day. It is par­tic­u­larly use­ful for med­it­at­ors or any­one who exper­i­ences stiff­ness or dis­com­fort; lack of energy; stress, anxi­ety or lack of joy; a feel­ing of liv­ing mainly in your busy head.

Dham­ma­gita

Dham­ma­gita has a par­tic­u­lar interest in the devel­op­ment of aware­ness through the body. In 2007 she com­pleted a five month ‘Med­it­at­ing With The Body’ train­ing with Regin­ald Ray and con­tin­ues in advanced train­ing with him. She firmly believes that fun and spir­itu­al­ity not only can but must co-exist

Testi­mo­ni­als from work­shop participants:

“It has been won­der­ful to recon­nect with my body again“
“Thanks for your pas­sion and encour­age­ment to notice, appre­ci­ate and let speak this vehicle I incarn­ate in this life­time“
“You gave us essen­tial keys to unlock our bod­ies and hear them”

Any­one who has learnt the mind­ful­ness of breath­ing and the metta bhavana meditations
