Finding yourself in movement - Playshop with Penny Joy Salus 2019

Finding yourself in movement
with Penny Joy Salus

2:30 pm -3:30 pm at Unity of the Valley - 
Wednesday September 9, 2019

 An opportunity to kinesthetically explore the personal
and communal themes of this most poignant day. 
The movement will be guided by prompts,
yet each person will be free to move in their own way
and to choose their own level of interaction

Please consider joining us.  All are welcome.
Absolutely no dance experience is necessary,
just an open mind and heart. 
Greater connection and clarity are within reach!

 "I look forward to returning to this  workshop after almost 15 years away!
For the many years that I facilitated this workshop at Yom Kippur,
I felt so incredibly blessed and excited to be imbuing
Rabbi Hanan's Holy  Days with a greater sense of embodiment."

 "I have always loved moving with others  inviting others into this passion:
A women's performance group called Quantiform Dancetourage,
years of teaching Intergenerational Dance classes,
working with Sparkplug Dance, and especially by... 
living these movement principles into my own life and practice."

 

 

2017 Ad Olam High Holy Days Schedule

Come share the spirit & wisdom of Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur with Ad Olam.
These holy-days are a time of prayer,
music, reflection and learning,
a time when the veils between the worlds thins,
a time of return and healing.
Join us in our intention to realign our connection
to our-self and to one another.

The services are Renewal,
and inclusive in orientation, 
yet draw from traditional and mystical and contemporary sources.
We invite new interpretations,
spontaneous expressions,
and powerful music to awaken the deeper truths
and the will to carry them into our actions in the new year.

Most of the service is in English
and is accessible and meaningful for all 
whatever your religious background or secular views.

All are welcome to come to any or all of the services.
All are invited to participate and learn. 

No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Please donate
