Washington, DC
Share this event:


Healing Dance Workshop by Elif;
"Create Yourself within Yourself"

We re-create ourselves every moment. Every single breath, emotion and thought shapes our energy space. Each movement creates new vibrations that effect our entire life. When we do these movements with awareness and listen to the needs of our body and soul, we activate our own potential healing energy. If you want to have a new respectful relationship with your body and vibrate a new healing energy, this is the time to join "Create yourself within yourself".

Let's stay in the very center of our own source and dance with the joyful mystical music of our unique inner body. This workshop is a joyful journey through beautiful imaginary tales, spontaneous movements with nature impacted visualizations. This workshop also includes a renewed free-form of Turkish Rumi whirling, which is the synthesis of modern movements with classical whirling. While you experience this journey through your own unique way, you can witness the healing power of spinning.

No prior experience is needed.

Please come with comfortable clothing.

Duration is 2 hours,

Maximum 10 people,

Elif is a multidisciplinary artist, performer and a dancer from Turkey. She has a Bachelor Degree in Architecture (Ankara,Turkey) and a Master's Degree in Performance Arts (Madrid, Spain). She has been dancing from a very early age through her childhood. She trained in Contemporary dance studies at the Middle East Technical University, the very first Contemporary Dance Company in Turkey.

She has been developing her own healing dance skills with the help of several different techniques & trainings she has gathered over the years of her practice, some of which are; Quantum Healing Master's Program (İstanbul), the Art Therapy Intensive Course (Barcelona), Transformal Breath Techniques (İstanbul) and a wide range of dance workshops from National & International precious dance companies and teachers.

From 2009 she has been Whirling; Rumi spinning, and performing in Semah (a special spinning technique) rituals. She combines modern movements with classical Sufi whirling and prepares unique performances accompanied by live music. As witnessing the curative power of movements, she was inspired to create her own circle dance; "Magical Dance", influenced by shamanic rituals where she engages healing exercises, meditation and dance. She also organizes visual meditation circles & gatherings that incorporate the mystical melodies of a special Turkish instrument, the "Ney".

Her life goal is to evolve on her spiritual path and share all that she discovers on this journey.

"Only from the heart you can touch the sky."
Rumi
