"Movement as Prayer"
a dance and embodiment workshop led by multidisciplinary artist Lauren Stonestreet.
Sunday, April 28th, 2:30pm-4:00pm
$10 suggested donation.
​
The body is sacred. We are formed from dust. It has been said that we are “animated dirt.*” Our bodies release a sound. As we move, we connect with ourselves, with God, and with each other. These workshops will create a container for us to dance prayers, explore dance as a vehicle for healing, and make new discoveries as we journey through this workshop -- Movement as Prayer.
Come and experience new ways to move, to connect, and to express. Let there be what you need in this space. Dance can be a vehicle for healing, for restoration, for reflection, for grounding, for questions, and for connection. This unique workshop is open to all movers (not just for dancers!).
​
Preregistration is required!

Make your movement matter by joining us for an energy-packed night of drumsticks and dance-fitness to raise money for a great cause.

This ministry meets the physical needs of these women and focuses on training, evangelism, and community development.
In addition to getting a great workout for a great cause, you will also have the opportunity to shop some of the crafts and jewelry made by the Ugandan Women and CWI.

This event is completely donation-based with all proceeds going to the mission work in Jinja. Bring your friends and let's pack the studio out as we sweat and smile and help make a difference in the lives of these Ugandan women.
