Celebrate the Sun’s transit into the star constellation of Libra with gentle harmonious movement of eurythmy. Some have called this movement art social yoga, social tai chi, sacred dance, esoteric dance, integrated movement, movement meditation.

- Experience the fascinating unity of people moving together in a eurythmy circle, led by Soulful Wizardess Marta Stemberger.

- Practice gentle harmonious movement exercises to live piano music and beautiful poetry

- Move the basic elements of music: beat, rhythm, pitch. We’ll focus on exploring beat this month, and continue with rhythm and pitch in November and December.

- Learn to move the eurythmy gestures for the powerful consonants S, Z, SH, ZH, CH, TH (as in “season”, “zenith”, “show”, “judge”, “chase”, “thunder”), the gift from the stars in the constellation of the deep purple Scorpio.

DARE TO GO DEEPER,
CONTEMPLATE YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE, 
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR DESTINY.

People often ask: “Why would one do this particular movement art?” Let me share with you a short list of the benefits that I’ve personally experienced in myself and others:

– Balance your thoughts, feelings, actions
– Harmonize all dimensions of your earthly existence
– Cultivate spatial and kinesthetic awareness
– Enhance your capacity for creative problem-solving
– Experience the soothing unity of people moving together
– Nourish your life forces for increased well-being
– Increase your overall grace and flow
– Elevate your vibrations to feel peaceful
– Relax and dissolve stress

Eurythmy is a performance art, pedagogical tool, movement therapy, social art, spiritual practice. It harmoniously blends movement meditation, social yoga, social tai chi, sacred dance, sacred geometry, esoteric astrology, spatial and kinesthetic awareness, poetry appreciation, musical sensibility, to name just a few ingredients. Rudolf Steiner, who developed eurythmy in the 1910s and 1920s, created a rich set of tools that allow us to make speech and music visible through movement, to transform the inner activity into conscious harmonious movement.

*****

Open to all who can walk. No prior movement experience is needed.

Attire: Please wear loose fitting clothes with long-sleeved tops and long loose pants or skirts. The tops should allow you to freely move arms all the way up, and still cover your belly area. We’ll move barefoot. No slippery socks or footwear please.

Restrictions: Pregnant women are advised not to move eurythmy because their life forces are needed for development of the child they carry.
