The Sacred Space Conference

Oftentimes in rituals, music is only present in the background to help mask other noises, and physical movement is minimized. However, music and movement can be brought forward to play a more integral role in our rituals, taking center stage rather than being afterthoughts. Music can add dynamic layers; and movement – in the form of ritualized gestures or dance – can help you focus or express your intent in a way that words cannot. In this workshop we will discuss how to center music and movement into your rituals, including: their historical use, the considerations that go into selecting music, and the different ways we can move our bodies (seated or standing) to reflect and enhance our workings.
