Thursday, February 14, 2019 at 7:30 PM – 10 PM
Lake Merritt Dance at Veterans Memorial Building
200 Grand Ave,
Oakland, California
Our evening will start off with a 45 minute warm up wave
led by Sayrah Garrison followed by a heart opening Cacao ceremony that will
begin promptly at 8:15p.m. Special Guest teacher Benson Scott will offer
luscious sound landscapes as we continue to open our hearts in community and
dance. Our evening will conclude with a
smorgasbord of Strawberries & Chocolate to share in our closing
circle.
Benson Scott is the founder and co-conspiring teacher of
Rise Dance Movement: A restorative
justice practice that centers around leadership from within through music and
movement. Rise welcomes all people to
the dance floor wherever that floor may be.
Our mission is to bring restorative practices to movement with a
cooperative and collaborative leadership.
Benson brings a playful heart and creative spirit to the music by DJ’ing
to the ear of the group body. He follows the pace and movements of the group by
doing live mixes interspersed with inspirational words while offering a wide
field of movements and justice practices.
Sayrah Garrison is a certified 5Rhythms® teacher and has
been teaching a weekly 5Rhythms class in Oakland for over 4 years. She teaches
yoga, meditation, and mindfulness to the general public and is committed to
exploring how these body based practices affect positive change for all!
Created by Gabrielle Roth, the 5Rhythms is a dynamic
movement practice rooted in the principle that if you put the psyche in motion
it will heal itself. Through the map of the 5Rhythms, we
will take a deep dive into our own inner landscape to discover our authentic
selves. The only requirement is that you have a curious mind and a desire to
explore creativity, connection and community.
Cost: $35.
