As the Moving Mandala has evolved, the residential intensive has come about for practitioners who have some experience and practice of their own. Whether you practice yoga, shamanism, meditation, energy medicine, body awareness, intuitive dance, toning, or any earth-based spiritual practice you could be a candidate for the intensive.
We understand that as this century brings the challenges of change, we need initiations and training that will prepare us for holistic living within a community. We live in a time when we need to align our bodies, spirits and minds with the indigenous soul in each of us and to experience community based participation, of both human and non-human beings.
The Moving Mandala honours the gifts of each person in the circle and acknowledges the help of the invisible energies of heaven and earth. We need participants and witnesses to support our process of alignment and to tell our stories to other initiated people. To protect the teachings and the participants, only other initiates and experienced practitioners of the Moving Mandala come to the sessions after they are closed. This was a common understanding in cultures where the villages had celebrations for the return of those who had gone through such intense experiences. By restoring the energetic container for these practices, which is offered by the Moving Mandala, we can allow the experience to go deep into our bones.
Many of us are used to chakra balancing and solitary practice has its place in strengthening us for today's life; this opportunity can take our individual learnings to a new level of expansion and integrate them into the collective consciousness and manifestation of a culture of wholeness.
The courses are site- and season-specific for grounding them. We align our body's energy centers, the patterns of the heavens and dream of the land. Field trips and/or walks are part of the course.
The outline of the chakras can be seen on the Moving Mandala page.
