Relax here: Spiritual dance club

Let your hair down tonight at “Illuminate: A Spiritual Dance Club,” an artsy party with a shamanic twist. Get ready to bring out your inner witch doctor—this unconventional approach to a disco is hosted by the Open Center, an interactive healing school and community center that recently moved to a bigger midtown space, making events like this possible.

Israeli spiritual healer Parashakti will be conducting her “Dance of Liberation,” a technique she developed to get people to loosen up on the dance floor. DJs, drumming and yogic breathing exercises all help participants “ride the wave of sacred rhythm.” But while spirituality is certainly an important aspect in this, don’t be intimidated. “Overall, it’s just a dance party,” an Open Center marketing manager explains. “And since I’ve been here, they haven’t done anything like this.”
After an opening ceremony featuring Parashakti, medicine woman Joani Henry, and Native American elder Wakia Un Manee, you can make like a maenad and hop between the “Chill Out Room” and the “Tipi Room,” where from 10:30pm to 1:30am, the dancing will take place.

Traditional Native American Teachings
with VERNON FOSTER
SOUND HEALING—
Learn Sacred Native Songs & Drumming

Sunday, February 13th  •  12:00pm – 4:00 pm

LOCATION: The META Center 214 West 29th Street, 16th Floor, NY NY (7 & 8th Avenue)

As your spiritual journey unfolds, you can begin to understand the sacredness in all things. This even pertains to the songs we sing. When we implement songs into or healing practice, they become sacred songs. This workshop will help you discover your own sacred song. Learn how to find that song, and to sing it with intention.

Drums can be heard around the world, but for Native Americans the drum is the heart beat of mother earth. The beat and the rhythms can escort us into the other dimension, a world that man does not understand. Learn how to use your drum to call upon living spirits of the natural world. Vernon will bring life into your own shamanic practice and share with you some of his sacred songs and dance.

Workshop: $60 Energy Exchange
($30 special discount for NYSC drum making workshop attendees)
