Workshops & Meditations

Here's a selection of the workshops regularly on at Puravida.

For the actual line-up this time see the schedule on the Events Page. We also have a Healing Centre open offering massage and other therapies. Meditations at Osho Leela are mostly active meditations and social meditations. Both involve quite a lot of body movement and in social meditations you interact with other participants also. All workshops and meditations are led by qualified and experienced people. Please bring loose clothing
Here's what's on offer ...

 


Tantric Tango - with Frances - You’ll be introduced to the basic elements of the beautiful, sensuous Argentine tango. We’ll use this partner dance as a way of bringing out different aspects of ourselves and how we relate to others – from soft, intimate connections to dynamic, sexy and playful interactions. You’ll begin to explore different types of intention in the dance and learn ways of building trust and confidence. You don’t need to have any previous experience of partner dance and you don’t need to be good at remembering ‘steps’... plenty of left feet are very welcome!

Trance Dance, with Kalid - Trance Dance Ritual... breath, let go, become the dance of life! The Trance Dance Ritual is a ritual program that is designed to provide a exploratory spiritual journey through the combination of music, sound effects, body movement and the unique use of a blindfold or bandana as a tool for stimulating a deep 'trance' state. The heart of the evening involves the actual 'inner journey' or 'Trance Dance'. There will be a informal Q & A opportunity at the end of each ritual for anyone seeking more information about the ritual itself.

5 Rhythms, with Kat - Awakening to our body, heart and mind, making a place for the simple joy of being alive;
During this workshop we will use the map of the 5 Rhythms™ to awaken our inner dancer. The Rhythms are Flow, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. They come together to create a Wave, a movement meditation practice. Following what is already arising in our movement we will practice receiving and trusting the unpredictable force of life; letting it express and define our hearts desires, letting it reorganize us so we can move through life with light feet and open hearts.
