Daily Schedule:
Every full day there will be two or three sessions. We will be dancing, experiencing, discussing, sharing, and dancing more. We have worked our schedule as best we can around other activities. We may adjust our session times to give ourselves a little extra time for integration, absorption, class preparation, etc. Your presence is expected for all sessions, even if you choose not to dance, and we encourage self-care. The following are approximate times (subject to change):
Mornings: 8:30am–12:00pm
Afternoons: 1:45–4:45 pm
Evenings: 7:00–9:30 pm
Recommended Readings: These books will give you insight into the deeper aspects of the JourneyDance™ philosophy and the intrinsic value of all beings. Through dance, we become empowered to heal ourselves.

Self-Care: This training is intensive in nature, including many sessions of dancing, plenty of time for discussion in small and large groups, and time for personal process. As with movement, there exists the potential to bring up emotions stored in the body. Self-care and self-love is absolutely essential throughout. Make sure to hydrate yourself, get plenty of rest, and take time to breathe and allow the deep process of integration and transformation. JourneyDance™ is about fostering a relationship of love with your body and yourself, so take this time to strengthen this relationship.
From years of dancing experience on various types of floors, we strongly recommend soft knee-pads. You can order our favorite, lightweight knee-pads online at journeydance.com, or purchase them at the training.

Kripalu Center. Stockbridge, MA
Paint and Dance From the Source
Use paint, dance, and other creative modes to dive deep into the shamanistic source of all creation and healing. Paint not for outcome, but to be in the moment. Paint and dance until your mind releases judgments, comparisons, and personal stories. Paint until the painting paints you, until the dance dances you, until you paint the dance and dance the paint. This is living poetic myth, a sacred container in which painters and dancers bond in openhearted community. In this place, a triumph for one becomes a triumph for all.
This is neither JourneyDance nor Painting from the Source but a new alchemy unlike any other. Previous participants have said, "Most meaningful was opening myself through dance and uninhibited painting expression, and chance to feel a true connection with others, … heart opening, mind freeing, ceremonial bliss." Another called the workshop, "Phenomenal, profound, Life changing, vital, supportive. Authentic, larger then life, inspiring."
Required reading Aviva Gold, Painting From the Source (Source Publications), available from the Kripalu Shop or www.paintingfromthesource.com. Additional program guidelines can be found here. Please print out these guidelines and bring them with you to the workshop.
Recommended listening Toni Bergins, JourneyDance AudioClass CD.
Note This workshop requires a commitment to an extended schedule and to being authentically present with possible strong emotions. A $30 materials fee is payable to the presenters at the first program session.
