"A Taste of Dancing the Enneagram" invites you to take a playful and courageous somatic dive into the three centers -- Belly, Heart and Head -- focusing on Types 1, 3, and 6. A short slide show with an introduction to each center and type will begin your journey into expanding awareness of body sensations, energy, and expression. Nia Educator Kate Finlayson will share the profound gifts and challenges of each type as well as the correlating movement form from the Nia Technique. She has artfully assigned each of Nia's nine movement forms from martial, dance and healing arts to the nine types, as well as music that enhances the chemistry of each. Beginning with breathing and meditation into each center, Kate creates a safe and fun environment for exploration and discovery. Participants are encouraged to play with the flavors of each, utilizing mantras from Andrea Isaacs' Enneamotion and integrating body, mind and heart with music, movement, and reflection. No experience is necessary, and all will be asked to move in their own body's way.
The "Dancing the Enneagram" PlayBook is a wonderful guide to use with this experience and is available online through Lulu.com.
