A Yiddish and Ladino Musical and Somatic Inquiry Retreat For Jews and their Allies
What do the songs of our ancestors have to tell us about today? What do they evoke in us?
And how can they help us with the myriad of emotions we feel today?
At Milagros Center, Corrales, NM, in a beautiful natural setting, we will come together in community in a safe environment of caring, nonjudgement, compassion, and gratitude.
As we learn the translations and hear the songs played and sang live, we will note what emotions are evoked and where they are felt in our bodies. This brings awareness to energy patterns in our meridians, organs and nervous system. We can create an opening, a shift out of narrow places we get stuck in. Moving the energy liberates us and brings a new perspective. This frees past conditioning, worn-out beliefs and behaviors that no longer work in our world, creating a new paradigm.
Tools we will use: listening and feeling, “Shakin’ It Out!” a therapeutic shaking of the body, vocalizing and toning, sound healing instruments, iRest (Integrative Restoration)Yoga Nidra Meditative Inquiry, journaling in nature.
