Room 124, English Morning Observances, Religious or Spiritual Observance
Movement has been a powerful component of many ancient spiritual practices. One potent aspect of movement as a sacred practice is its ability to transcend the need for language. Juniper Talbot will share simple moving meditations from ancient and modern earth-centered traditions. Participants will have the opportunity to learn these moving meditations and to experience the depths of peace and connection that can be elicited from moving together in sacred harmony.
Peace begins within each person. Drawing upon their multi faith perspectives, Clare and Art will share the Lovingkindness prayer/meditation taught by Thich Nhat Hanh (Engaged Buddhism) that deepens our development of compassion towards oneself and others. We will also experience Jyoti (Light) Meditation as taught by Sant Rajinder Singh (Science of Spirituality) focusing on the source of peacefulness accessible within everyone.
Juniper Talbot has been a practitioner and leader of Pagan spirituality for over 20 years. As a professional dancer, she has toured widely, especially to Europe and the British Isles. Juniper is currently a member of EarthSpirit, a USA-based pagan organization. She offers performances, workshops and rituals based in ancient Celtic traditions.
