I offer you space.
Come and dance,
and I will play the music
and hold the space
where you feel comfortable
to listen to your body
and move in a way
that it needs
to heal.
This event will take place at fitPhoenix
Join us for a Thursday Night Dance pop up event at the Irish Cultural Center, wherein we will gather and process this wonderful life through movement.
We will ease in with some chants and intentions and juicy stretches and smooth into some beats and the releasing of that which needs to be released and the moving that which needs to be moved.
We will cap off the night with an extended sound healing to send you off to dreamy spaces and cozy spaceships.
This event will take place at the Irish Cultural Center in Phoenix.
Join facilitators Valerie Cherrin (Open Floor teacher) and John Oyzon (meditation teacher and musician) in this guided journey through the Open Floor meditation cycle with live music! This 3 hour dive will invite us to drop into the still center of our beings, so that we may move out into the world from that place. Working with our breath, our bodies, and the beat, we can find ourselves in a fuller state of aliveness.
Valerie is an Open Floor teacher in Tucson and a massage therapist instructor and practitioner.
She is passionate about helping people connect to their bodies' innate intelligence through movement and touch.

Our bodies have their own intelligences. It is a gift to notice the sensations and urges in our physical being and to let them express themselves.
Join me as we apply some foundational meditation ideas to our moving bodies. There will be stillness and silence, and there will be live music and dope beats, and we will explore whether it is our mind that is steering our body, or the other way around.
We will do some simple meditations, use your voice to tone, and be on our feet to move in a free way. No dance experience required!
I will play my guitar, sitar, and drum, and a thoughtfully curated playlist to help you dance in a safe place free of judgement.
We will close with an extended savasana and sound healing.
This event will take place at Village Yoga in Sedona
Music gives wings to feelings.
Vibrations can influence mind states.
Supporting inner journeys of contemplation, or single pointed listening, sound can be the container that holds your awareness.
The fact of your presence influences the music, because the music is alive.
With good intentions of healing the world, we can heal ourselves.
Bring things to make you feel cozy and comfortable.
Relax and listen to multi-instrumentalist John Oyzon.
There will be sitar, chants, drones, and music.
Meditation and philosophy from the Tibetan Buddhist perspective
(as taught my a filipino musician guy)
Meditate with John.
We will also discuss the two main enemies of good meditation: dullness and agitation.
We may also touch on the basic "why" of meditation from the perspective of karma and wisdom.
There may also be some playing of the sitar while you stare at the back of your eyelids.

The doors will close, and the sound journey will begin.
You are invited to go deeply into that place where sounds still the thoughts, and what rises is the pure expressiveness of a body in motion.
Voices will be raised in unison unencumbered with artifice.
Boundaries will drop. Grooves will be had.
Come in dress that inspires magic in your heart.
All are welcome. No judgements will be made.
Movement and Song Workshops.
Create Dance. Create Music. Dance to Music.
There are those of us who are seeking magic. We are the ones who, when we hear music, are called to move our bodies. We are compelled to raise our voices in song and give voice to our hearts.
In this workshop, we will find movement that is natural to what is inside of us and we will shape it and share it. We will join our voices with chants that are easy to follow and we will notice how our inner world shifts. Together, we will create music and dance. And, with the help of each other, we will make magic. You don't need to be a dancer or singer. You need only to yearn to dance and sing. Experience what it is to move and have a voice without an inner critic. Open to ALL levels of movers and singers. Wear something that you feel comfortable moving in and that makes you feel special.

Come
for the union
of spirit & body,
song & movement.
When the body is opened and the voice is released, we create a living path to spirit.
We recall that we are one with everything.
Bhakti yoga is the yoga of devotion. Through the sacred art of music and chanting, we call on an unlimited well of truth, joy, and love.
Allow Juli Burdette to gently guide you in a flowing vinyasa practice accompanied by the live music of John Elliot Oyzon.
Ecstatic call and response chanting will follow.
No experience needed. Open to every body and every voice!
