Etz Chayim
4161 Alma Street,
Palo Alto, California
Freeform meditation and movement to beautiful inspiring
music. Free and open to all (you don’t need to be Jewish or believe in God).
Experience shefa (flow) within your whole being through
free-form meditative movement/ecstatic dance, guided by kavannah (intention)
that draws on Jewish texts and ideas (like Shalom - wholness/peace, and Chesed
- lovingkindness). Our open floor provides a safe,
non-judgmental/non-performance environment, free of conversation, allowing you
to explore free-form meditative movement set to carefully-selected music. Start
the new week connecting to that “still small voice” inside, getting more
exercise in a fun way, and meeting wonderful new people!
Free and open to all (you don’t need be an Etz Chayim
member or even Jewish, all ages welcome). No dance experience needed -- if you
can walk, move your arms, or simply breathe and “dance from your chair,” you
can enjoy our Ruach Dance. Set your own pace and boundaries: dance solely by
yourself, or, with others if you choose. Please eat a light supper before, wear
comfortable clothing that’s easy to move in, and bring your water bottle.
Optional: yoga mat and vegetarian snacks to share after.
Cost: Free
