Nicole Windenberger kicks off our Fall Wellness Monday Program with an introductory workshop in Vedic Dance. Experience the basics of this Indian dance tradition that is grounded in the experience of consciousness and transcendence and is rich in physiological benefits, bringing practitioners good health and happiness.
Come enjoy a taste of some basic steps (adavus), learn a bit about hand positions (hasta mudras), and practice a short song (shloka). This introductory workshop invites participants to an interactive understanding of the health benefits for both dancer and viewer and includes a short presentation on the origins and elements of the dance.
This is a movement-based workshop. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that they can move easily in and to bring a scarf to tie around their waist. Beginners are welcome, no prior dance experience is necessary.
Led by an expert from our healing or wellness space, Wellness Mondays harness the wealth of experience and expertise of our local area, which is rich in wellness leaders, and offers it back to the community. This series celebrates and explores one’s creative self, centering on personal wellness in mind, body, and spirit.
Aligned with our existing programs Insight Sunday and Knowledge Friday, which provide insight into the creative processes of artists and the lives of community leaders, respectively, wellness Mondays encourages attendees to position themselves as dynamic conduits of energy and creativity.
