She has completed a Yin Yoga Training and a 500 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Byron Yoga Centre which incorporates asana, pranayama, philosophy and meditation with Yoga Nidra. Yoga, for Peta is about seeking a consistently peaceful flow of mind in life. Teaching yoga and developing her own personal practice has enriched and enhanced this flow. Yin Yoga is a deeply nourishing practice that works from a place of calm and surrender. Postures are floor based and held for longer periods of time with the support of props. We focus on finding a deep sense of stillness and connection to breath. The deeper layers of the body – the connective tissues are targeted, allowing a freer flow of energy throughout the body. In a Yin class we breathe more, we slow down and rest which can enable the process of letting go and the opportunity of reconnecting with ourselves, in order to return to our centre. DEMIR The light of sound brings a beautiful woven sonic experience for the listener to be immersed into. Conciously working with sound as a tool for relaxation and well being, unwind deeper as you feel the vibes og Sining bowls, Flutes, Voice and Strings take you to a blissful place of inner knowing.

“The Qoya were the sacred women of the Inka, daughters of the Sun, the ones chosen to uplift humanity to our grandest and greatest possibilities. Rochelle accomplishes this great task in this stunning book.” —Alberto Villoldo, PhD, author of Shaman, Healer, Sage and One Spirit Medicine Q YA A Compass for Navigating an Embodied Life that is Wise, Wild and Free ROCHELLE SCHIECK Founder, Qoya Movement Praise for Rochelle Schieck’s QOYA: A Compass for Navigating an Embodied Life that is Wise, Wild and Free “Through the sincere, witty, and profound sharing of her own life experiences, Rochelle reveals to us a valuable map to recover one’s joy, confidence, and authenticity. She shows us the way back to love by feeling gratitude for one’s own experiences. She offers us price- less tools and practices to reconnect with our innate intelligence and sense of knowing what is right for us. More than a book, this is a companion through difficult moments or for getting from well to wonderful!” —Marcela Lobos, shamanic healer, senior staff member at the Four Winds Society, and co-founder of Los Cuatro Caminos in Chile “Qoya represents the future – the future of spirituality, femininity, and movement. If I’ve learned anything in my work, it is that there is an awakening of women everywhere. The world is yearning for the balance of the feminine essence. This book shows us how to take the next step.” —Kassidy Brown, co-founder of We Are the XX “Rochelle Schieck has made her life into a solitary vow: to remem- ber who she is – not in thought or theory – but in her bones, in the truth that only exists in her body.

Dancing Into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism In
Dancing into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism in the 21st Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly Perl Klein Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Dr. Harmony Bench, Advisor Dr. Ann Cooper Albright Dr. Hannah Kosstrin Dr. Mytheli Sreenivas Copyrighted by Kelly Perl Klein 2019 2 Abstract This dissertation centers sensuous movement-based performance and practice as particularly powerful modes of activism toward sustainability and multi-species justice in the early decades of the 21st century. Proposing a model of “sensuous ecological activism,” the author elucidates the sensual components of feminist philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway’s (2016) concept of the Chthulucene, articulating how sensuous movement performance and practice interpellate Chthonic subjectivities. The dissertation explores the possibilities and limits of performances of vulnerability, experiences of interconnection, practices of sensitization, and embodied practices of radical inclusion as forms of activism in the context of contemporary neoliberal capitalism and competitive individualism. Two theatrical dance works and two communities of practice from India and the US are considered in relationship to neoliberal shifts in global economic policy that began in the late 1970s. The author analyzes the dance work The Dammed (2013) by the Darpana Academy for Performing Arts in Ahmedabad,

FINAL Thesis Dance, Empowerment and Spirituality
13 Introduction Imagine entering a space full of people, all engaged with their own movement, emotions and process. Some are dancing fast; others are lying on the floor. Some are stretching their bodies tall in all directions, whereas other movements are barely visible. People may be crying, shouting, or dancing with an expression of joy on their face. There are men and women of all ages, colourfully dressed. If you let your fantasy run wild, you can imagine them as animals swishing their tails while moving stealthily through the jungle, as indigenous people, stamping their feet on the beat. You may see dancing fairies, solid trees and stout warriors. You may see vulnerable, delicate beings of great beauty, or even see seaweeds, moving gently on an invisible current. The raw and the ugly, the wild and the contained, the silence and the storm all may be present in the room. Welcome. You have just arrived in a Movement Medicine space. These spaces form the focus of this research project. Indeed, paraphrasing Performance Studies scholar Fiona Buckland, this research is both a dance floor where people enter and move, and simultaneously a dancer who even now is checking out the floor (F. Buckland, 2002: 14). My baseline motivation for this study is a curiosity about people’s search for meaning and self-understanding in western culture in the early 21st century. The decline of traditional religious frameworks after the Second World War, led to the remarkable rise of many so called alternative spiritualities or New Religious Movements1 (compare Greenwood, 2000: 8).

Self-Cultivation & Spiritual Practice
HCOL 186F Sophomore Seminar (13485), Spring 2019 Self-Cultivation & Spiritual Practice: Comparative Perspectives Course director: Prof. Adrian Ivakhiv, [email protected] Office: Room 211, Bittersweet House, 153 South Prospect Street (at Main St.) Consultation hours: Tue. 3:00-4:00 pm, Thur. 10:00 am-12:00 pm Appointments: Book through Cathy Trivieres (x. 64055, [email protected]) or Outlook Class meetings: Tuesday & Thursday 1:15-2:30 pm, University Heights North 16 Overview This course introduces students to the comparative study of religious, spiritual, and psycho-physical practices—exercises by which individuals and groups deepen, develop, challenge, and transform their perceptions and capacities for action in harmony with religious, moral-ethical, or philosophical ideals. The course covers a range that spans from ancient Greek and Roman philosophers (such as Stoics, Epicurians, and Neoplatonists), yogis and monks of South and East Asia, Christian and Muslim ascetics and Renaissance mages, to practitioners of modern forms of westernized yoga, martial arts, ritual magic, and environmental and spiritual activism. Readings of ancient texts and contemporary philosophical and sociological writings are complemented by practical exercises, writing and presentation assignments, and a practice project. COURSE DESCRIPTION Philosophers in the ancient world were less interested in knowledge for its own sake than in the "art of living." From ancient Greece and Rome to China and India, the core of philosophical practice often consisted of spiritual exercises (askesis, ἄσκησις, Gk.) aimed at self-cultivation (xiushen, 修真, Ch.). This interest has been revived in today's growing fascination with spiritual practices undertaken both within and well outside the context of traditional religion.

5Rhythms by Gabrielle Roth
5Rhythms of Gabrielle Roth in her own words Written By: Gabrielle Roth Movement Each of us is a moving center, a space of divine mystery. And though we spend most of our time on the surface in the daily details of ordinary existence, most us hunger to connect to this space within, to break through to ecstatic states of consciousness, to be swept away. As a young dancer, I made the transition from the world of steps and structures to the world of transformation and trance by exposure to live drumming. The beats, the patterns, the rhythms kept calling me deeper and deeper into trance. These dances took me from the edge of myself to the moving center. And from there, I began to discover a more essential me. Being young, wild, and free, it didnʼt dawn on me that in order to go into these deep ecstatic places, I would have to be willing to transform absolutely everything that got in my way. That included every form of inertia known to us: the physical inertia of tight and stressed muscles; the emotional baggage of depressed, repressed feelings; the mental baggage of dogmas, attitudes, and philosophies. In other words, Iʼd have to let it all go—everything. Rhythm is a refuge, movement is medicine, and energy is a language. In a parallel universe, I was teaching movement to tens of thousands of people and, in them, I began to witness my own body/spirit split. Between the head and feet of any given person is a billion miles of unexplored wilderness.

Soul Loss and Retrieval: Restoring Wholeness Through Dance
Chapter 6 Soul loss and retrieval: Restoring wholeness through dance Eline Kieft Prelude My journey with dance started at a local ballet school in a small village in the Netherlands, at age 7. I happened to be a lucky child, whose natural exploration of movement was never thwarted, but instead encouraged. My pre-professional training at the National Ballet Academy (Academy of Theatre and Dance) in Amsterdam (age 10–13) and Codarts’ Havo voor Muziek en Dans in Rotterdam (age 14–16) gave me a wide movement vocabulary, leading to subsequent professional training at age 16. Through the strict school regimes and pedagogy, the exhilarating sense of expression and connection that I used to feel when dancing slowly disappeared. Technique became a prison, disconnected from feeling, intuition, meaning and the world around me. This loss of connection was one of the main reasons I decided not to pursue a career as a professional dancer. Over the years, I came to realize that dance can embrace so much more than performance; I returned again to appreciating the precision of mastering a technique, but as a way to enjoy freedom within structure. I decided to study cultural and medical anthropology, where I became fascinated with healing and other ways of knowing. In 2005, I was introduced to basic shamanic techniques during a workshop called Soul in Nature, facilitated by Dr. Christian de Quincey, Dr. Stephan Harding and Jonathan Horwitz at Schumacher College in Devon. This three-week intensive course fundamentally shifted my compartmentalized outlook on life to one of a profound, felt, embodied knowing of interconnection.
