ABOUT JOURNEYS
Journeys are intentional dance events held in nonverbal communication only that build on the transformational power of music and dance to guide you on a journey of personal exploration, discovery and expansion.
Journeys, held on 5th Fridays, combine a unique lightly guided theme, infectious World Beat music, and open space for you to dance your journey to a deeper place.
Each Journeys is a unique and co-created event. The themes are presented by different guest dance or movement facilitators who shares their passion and expertise by adapting their expertise to the Journeys format. Guest and resident DJ(s) delve in their Global Fusion music collection to create a soundtrack that directly support each step of the process. Finally, how the dancers respond to each stage influences how the facilitator and DJs adapt the process.
We strongly invite you to arrive early (9 pm) for the opening circle during which the intention and the overall arch (steps) of the Journeys will be detailed. The process ends with a closing circle that facilitates integration. All Journeys are preceded by an optional active meditation at 7:30 pm.

Details about this Journeys:
Yanantin is a sacred journey through movement and sound that unites the inner child with the Higher Self, unlocking the full creative potential within.

The powerful dance of Yanantin awakens authentic expression by uniting the polarized aspects of the self, restoring harmony, balance, and inner truth.
