SANCTUARY: MOVEMENT & MEDITATION: An Open Floor Dance & Meditation weekend
May 16, 2025 @ 4:00 pm - May 18, 2025 @ 2:00 pm
An Open Floor Dance & Meditation weekend with GEORDIE JAHNER, Ph.D assisted by Lauren Henry
Held at Mana Retreat Centre, Coromandel, New Zealand | MAY 16-18, 2025
This Retreat will explore:
- Open Floor Dance
- Mindful Movement
- Breath awareness
- Gentle breath-aligned Asana
- Vishoka Meditation
- Reflective Self inquiry
What to expect:
In this weekend retreat, we will explore a fluid dynamic interplay of movement and meditation. Opening ourselves to the dance of movement, stillness, and the spaces in between.
We will explore multi-faceted movement explorations where we dance wildly and tenderly, deepen through breathwork and breath-aligned asana, and settle with systematic relaxation and meditation.
This fusion of movement and meditation can be a powerful tool for individuals seeking to connect with their body, enhance focus, and cultivate a sense of inner peace.
We use the movement practices of Open Floor, Vishoka Meditation and breath awareness to help us:
-
- move freely
- unite mind, body and breath
- cultivate pranic sensitivity
- turn inward
- and come to rest in the source of joy and tranquility
Introducing
Your Teachers:
Geordie and Lauren will invite you to listen and linger in a flow of awareness that is smooth, even, full, deep, silent and continuous.
Geordie Jahner: Geordie teaches Open Floor Movement Practice. She will be assisted this weekend by Lauren Henry who will share with us healthy breathing, breath-aligned asana and foundations of Vishoka meditation practice.
Lauren Henry: For the past 15 years Lauren Henry has been deeply immersed in studies of yoga, meditation, tai chi, qi gong, and music, and has been blessed with learning from multiple wonderful teachers in these various disciplines. As he continued to follow the threads of the Hatha Yoga and Tantra Yoga traditions, his studies eventually brought him to the Himalayan Institute, which is deeply rooted in the teachings of the Himalayan sages. Under the direction of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, his son Ishan Tigunait, and the staff of the Institute, he has studied meditation techniques and yoga, and is currently in the process of completing his 500hr Yoga Teacher training. Lauren is very passionate about sharing these teachings and is focused on presenting them in a way that is accessible to all.
